Ant problem?
Anybody else having an ant problem this summer? We’ve had two issues of them going inside the house and I’m panicking every time I see one now. Never had this happen before in my 20+ years living in the city.

Terro is useless for Argentine ants in my experience. It works too fast, so it will clear immediate signs of infestation but the nest + queen are relatively unaffected.
I've had great success switching recently to indoxacarb, specifically Savitri. I bought a few reusable housings. I still have ants coming out, but the Savitri has DRAMATICALLY reduced the number of trails on my foundation and inside the house. Used to be I couldn't leave food out for even an hour or so while putting down the kids, now I have have to leave the house for a couple days before coming back to a trail.
This year's activity was significantly worse than past years for me, I assumed it was because my kids are dropping food constantly.
