    Q
    I have hundreds of ants in my pool everyday. I need something to kill the colony
    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
    A

    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.

    How to apply if I can not dig a trench around my house to create a barrier?
    I live in South Florida and have rocks around my whole house. The rocks / pebbles are 2 feet from wall of house and 3 to 4 inches deep. I also read that I need to make enough formula to go down 3 feet. Since the soil is sandy down here, can I still use Taurus to create the barrier without dig a trench, which would cause me more of a headache then it may be worth. If I can and the whole footage is 194 feet around the whole house, how many ounces do I need?
    A

    Taurus SC Termiticide is a great product for protecting the foundation of the structure from subterranean termites, however if you have rock or a barrier in place to prevent this from being trenched as the label requires, your only option would be to use bait stations and dig individual holes in the…
