Doubt I would like this type of test lifestyle change. My daughters, wife, and in-laws were to be away one weekend and we had a longstanding issue with cockroaches in addition to ants that were beginning to become a huge nuisance. I put the two dogs outside for the night, bug bombed under the house and attic with more poison than recommended, and spent the night in a sleeping bag in the car (and it was still an uneasy feeling). I debated about staying in the car a second night, but ended up sleeping on the couch (and left the dogs outside, the poison was still a little much but at least I wasn't in the car again another night).

We still had ants, so I re-read the instructions and saw it would not work on the kind of ants we had (killed a ton of cockroaches, and the slugs/snails were leaving the house in drooves). I ended up buying a bunch of the baits and tossing those under the house, around by the trees, and some on the back patio. No more ant issues, no more roaches, etc.

Though I'll prob hit it with poison again next year, I'll make arrangements to stay with family (living outdoors or in a car is not fun for me).
