hey mhall,

Go to southern states and buy a product called Talstar. that is what i use to get rid of bugs and pretty much anything else. It is the same stuff the bug man uses. The label says one ounce to a gallon so i put 4 ounces to a gallon and have no problem with anykind of bugs. The label clearly states if swallowed drink water if able to. It is good stuff and has a low odor. I spray it on the yard to kill junebugs and all around the house to kill anyother kinda bug. look up the MSDS on it and i am sure you will be impressed and if u purchase some you will no longer have ants or anyother bug...
