<p>We are loving our new home. We live in a huge master planned community and there is so much construction going on. It&#8217;s fun because every day something new happens in the neighborhood. The downside is that the construction churns up all kinds of critters.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-81383" src="https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/ants-in-the-neighborhood-.jpg" alt="ants in the neighborhood" width="650" height="867" srcset="https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/ants-in-the-neighborhood-.jpg 650w, https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/ants-in-the-neighborhood--112x150.jpg 112w, https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/ants-in-the-neighborhood--225x300.jpg 225w, https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/ants-in-the-neighborhood--150x200.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></p>
<p>A couple of weeks after we moved into our home I noticed a dark line by my screen door. I thought it was dirt but it was ANTS!! They were everywhere&#8230;.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-81043" src="https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/modern-industrial-farmhouse-kitchen-nook-.jpg" alt="Modern Industrial Farmhouse Kitchen Nook" width="650" height="877" srcset="https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/modern-industrial-farmhouse-kitchen-nook-.jpg 650w, https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/modern-industrial-farmhouse-kitchen-nook--111x150.jpg 111w, https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/modern-industrial-farmhouse-kitchen-nook--222x300.jpg 222w, https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/modern-industrial-farmhouse-kitchen-nook--150x202.jpg 150w" sizes="(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></p>
<p>I put my kids and my dogs upstairs and I grabbed a can of <a href="http://www.hotshot.com/" target="_blank">Hot Shot® Ant &amp; Roach Plus Germ Killer</a>2. I knew it would do the trick to get rid of the ants.</p>
<p><span id="more-81377"></span></p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-81384" src="https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/hot-shot-bug-spray-.jpg" alt="hot shot bug spray" width="650" height="867" srcset="https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/hot-shot-bug-spray-.jpg 650w, https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/hot-shot-bug-spray--112x150.jpg 112w, https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/hot-shot-bug-spray--225x300.jpg 225w, https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/hot-shot-bug-spray--150x200.jpg 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></p>
<p>I made over our covered porch right before this happened and had installed a cute screen door. The ants were coming in underneath the screen door, across the floor and up onto the sink across the room.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-80943" src="https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/how-to-install-a-wood-screen-door-steps.jpg" alt="how to install a screen door" width="650" height="867" srcset="https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/how-to-install-a-wood-screen-door-steps.jpg 650w, https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/how-to-install-a-wood-screen-door-steps-112x150.jpg 112w, https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/how-to-install-a-wood-screen-door-steps-225x300.jpg 225w, https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/how-to-install-a-wood-screen-door-steps-150x200.jpg 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></p>
<p>I sprayed the ants that were coming in underneath the door, according to the package instructions. The instructions on <a href="http://www.hotshot.com/" target="_blank">this product</a> say it, “Kills Cockroaches, Ants, Carpenter Ants, Crickets, Firebrats, Fleas, Silverfish and Spiders (except Brown Recluse Spiders).” I washed the floor with cleaner.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-81385" src="https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/ant-invasion-line-.jpg" alt="ant invasion line" width="650" height="866" srcset="https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/ant-invasion-line-.jpg 650w, https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/ant-invasion-line--113x150.jpg 113w, https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/ant-invasion-line--225x300.jpg 225w, https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/ant-invasion-line--150x200.jpg 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px" /></p>
<p>I was really afraid of a re-infestation, so I sprayed underneath the sink and along the family room baseboards and the baseboards on the covered porch too. Be sure to follow all of the package instructions regarding how to apply the product. It also protects against ants for up to 12 weeks on non-porous surfaces &#8211; yay.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s been a few weeks since our ant infestation and so far we haven&#8217;t seen any reappearance of the ants &#8211; yay. <a href="https://goo.gl/SQ2gFu" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Hot Shot®</a> products take pride in providing homeowners with solutions that help keep their homes free of pests, at a value price point.
