Hello all - this group has been an invaluable source of help and
information.
First time poster - but I have an issue I hope to get some advice/help
with.

I hope you will be able to clear things up a little for me.

store sells it, and it is packaged as a powder in 2 envelopes, to be mixed
with water. The store claims it is very effective for roach control.

I received my Advance Ant bait 2 lb. shipment last month.  I've applied it
to areas where I've seen ants marching by in the daytime.  I've put it in
small bottles so I know only ants can get to it.  I've put it out a few
times and it's disappeared each time, so I know the ants have ...

My mum was clearing out her kitchen cupboards where she stores the likes of
flour, tea, coffee etc and she noticed it was swarming with little mites
about the size of a pin head perhaps smaller. She has found them in the
flour and on the tea bags etc. Needless to say she threw ...
