I was recommended to use Taurus treatment which I did and helped completely and a few months later they are back and Taurus treatments are not doing anything to help now. I have hundreds of ants everyday floating in my pool. I do not see a direct path or any big piles anywhere in the yard. Need to kill the colony. What do you recommend
Unfortunately, we cannot advise using any insecticides in a way the could potentially contaminate the swimming pool. Mostly because it could potentially be unsafe, but also because the products would not be effective if they are constantly wet or washed away from the pool water.
Taurus SC can be use outside around the foundation of homes/structures sprayed 1-2 feet up and out on the ground applied 2 - 4 times per year, and several baits and bait stations is what we would recommend. The Ants No More Bait Stations would be great to use around the pool area or landscaped areas because it protects the bait from water and weather while allowing you to use baits where you may have bad problems. These bait stations have 2 compartments so that you can use both a sweet gel/liquid (Maxforce Quantum) and a granule (Maxforce Complete) bait at the same time.
We would also recommend checking out our Ant Guide. It has tips on how to treat for ants around your home, indoors and outdoors.
