Now of course when you’re in a new place especially this time of year, you want to avoid pest problems and an ant infestation is the most common, especially now as we head into the warmer months. Well, Combat the leader in ant and roach control for more than 25 years, has introduced its new 2in1 Ant Bait, it's a complete system formulated with a powerful active ingredient, and two different baits to attract both sugar and grease loving ants. It’s effective against 11 types of pesky ants. The ants will eat the bait and return to the colony to feed the bait to the queen, so the entire colony is killed directly at its source, both the ants you see and the ones you don’t.

And it starts working as soon as it’s activated to effectively control and kill all common household ants. There’s no vapor, fumes, or odor and it's safe for both indoor and outdoor use. You can get it at Target, Amazon and Home Depot for $6.99.
