We spray around the house, but we also spray the roof around the vents. Ants will come in through the bathroom exhaust fans; anywhere there is an opening. We have large trees that overhang the house and the ants drop from the trees. We are forever finding them in the bathroom if we don't spray around the vent.

Here's a picture I found of them tearing up a fire ant. I may need a jar of these guys to release into my yard.

I'de be glad to send you a jar of them. Shouldn't be too hard. Just put some dog food in a jar, they will fill it up with themselves in no time. And they will have plenty to eat on the trip.

It comes in a paste, is non toxic to pets and kids.

I gota agree with joe here! Though I used the Terro PCO Liquid Ant Bait. Just mix, leave in bait stations and it will diminish their numbers rapidly.
