Living in Bang Saphan one learns that services are limited. We get quite a few ants, and I have sprayed around the base of the house, nests, etc with the sprays available around. It has helped, some.
Anyone know of a good product, and where to buy, in Hua Hin area?
Thanks!

You can get the ant powder (in the yellow bag) locally in Bangsaphan but essentially you'll never be able to totally get rid of ants. Just try not to leave any food out.

Re: Pest control supplies
When we bought our bungalow, we were overrun with the little beasts. I tried all sorts - it got rid of them for a day or 2, but then they would be back. All products were a waste of time IMO. The cracks between our floor tiles were like an ant super highway.
In the end, I bit the bullet, and called in a professional pest controller - cost 5,500 Baht a year. Never seen one of the beasties since. For the money, we get 12 monthly visits where they do the routine spraying. Any adhoc problems, give them a call, and they are there immediately i.e. we had something in the roof - sorted same day; we spotted rats in the garden - sorted next day.
I'm sure you must have a pest controller in BS, and you probably won't get charged as much as Hua Hin (although I think we have a bargain for what we pay).

Chandrite spray with the needle applicator is the next best thing to a professional coming out. It you haven't tried it, you should. It's not just for termites. Like with any spray, you'll have to judge time between application periods but it should be 2 weeks + with this stuff. Pete

Re: Pest control supplies
Thanks all! In California there was a good ortho product I would spray around the foundation and out about 4 feet, usually once every 3 months. Never saw another ant after doing that.
Here, of course, we have a lot of sand, and not a solid foundation.
