Put pests aside. Ants love Florida and lately I have been looking at alternative methods to eradicate the little buggers. Spraying pesticides inside your home is not only unhealthy but also ineffective because it doesn't get to the root of the problem. Here are a couple of methods I am putting to use in and around my home; Use a mixture of castile soap and water to spray where ants are active to destroy the chemical trail left behind by the worker ants. Destroy any outdoor nests you find by pouring boiling water directly to the nest. {you must continue until you are certain you have penetrated the nest deeply} If you vacuum up an indoor nest or ants adding some cornstarch to the bag or compartment will help ensure that the ants suffocate.
