The ants are crawling down the bathroom ceiling vent & ending up in our tub. Seems they are attracted to moisture. Also, would this product work on stink bugs?
The Pro Control Plus is only to be used in non inhabited areas like attics and crawlspaces. Although this would kill some of the ants and any stink bugs that are present when the bomb goes off, this will not get rid of either insect at the source. Foggers only effect insects that are out in the open while it is going off, so any stink bug or other insect that is hiding behind a wall void or in a crevice will not be affected by it. If the ants are coming into your bathroom, using a bait combination for them to take back to kill the entire colony and the queen would be a better option. You could try our Complete Ant Kit which provides both nutritional needs that ants need-sugars and proteins- as well as stations to place the bait in and stick near the vent or above the tub. You can also place the stations in the attic if you see where they are trailing. To help prevent ants from coming in your home in the future, check to make sure no bushes, flowers or trees touch the side of your home to allow a bridge inside, and treat the foundation and around windows and doors with a general insecticide like Talstar P. For stink bugs already in your home, there is not much you can do at this point as the ones you are seeing have been in there all winter and are now coming out as it is warmer outside. To prevent a re-infestation, you can use our Overwintering Kit for Stink Bugs to start treating your home once a month from August through at least November. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
