A quick pest control tip from the field π
Just because a product has ants on the label doesn't mean it's the best choice for ant control.
Many over-the-counter insecticides contain active ingredients ending in "-thrin" (pyrethroids). While these products can kill the ants you see, they can also cause certain ant species to "bud" or split their colonies into multiple nests. Instead of solving the problem, you may end up with even more ants in different areas of your property.
On the other hand, if you're dealing with slugs, Sluggo is a product we often recommend. It's effective, easy to use, and can be a safer option around pets and wildlife when used according to the label directions.
The biggest takeaway? The right product depends on the pest. Using the wrong treatment can sometimes make the problem worse.
