Argentine ants from three huge colonies in Europe, America and Japan are actually part of one global super-colony, scientists have revealed. The aggressive insects were first native to South America but humans have since spread them to the four corners

The ants have been bad here in my state this year. By accident I discovered the Mr. Clean cleaner with Febreeze
sprayed in ants kills them instantly. It also works on box elder beetles which have covered my house the past few years all summer, not for just a few days like in past years. I sprayed the outside of the house just once and even though it has rained numerous times since then, the bugs have not come back and its been about 6 weeks now. Terminix didn't have such a good track record here with their professional pesticides.

The cleaner does not work on every kind of any, but works great on the smaller breeds. I am telling everyone about this.
