Usually sevin dust will kill these things when they get in the dirst under my mobile home. Not now, they seem to be ammuned. I can't spray something that is strong in oder because my asthma won't let me breathe it. Last fall they were really bad and now that the warm weather hi they are awful again. I have three dogs that stay outside and I have managed to keep the fleas off of them but how do i kill them in the yard around my home. remember i can't take strong fumes. please help.

You can use regular table salt just have someone go under there and pour it all over cheap and it works ----- you can also sprinkle it on your dry carpet in the house leave it awhile then vacume up.

Sis to the rescue once again!! You deserve a medal because I found the site fantastic, especially about ants. It also contains everything one could posssibly know about the dangers of pesticides and we should all be aware of that!! Perhaps you should post this on General Discussion so more people can make good use of it!!
