Pesticides are bad.Ths stuff I used to use on fire ants made them go into convulsions. I always wear a half respirator when I treat the house, and only ever on the outside of the house (stop them before they get inside). Sugar ants can be treated with boric acid laced bait, which is less toxic to us.
You really have to keep a clean house, especially in hot climates with poorly built houses.
