Exclamation Raid eath options?

I have ants in my bathroom I've tried other things to get rid of them and they keep returning I was wondering if anyone knew about the raid eath options is supposed to be made from plants and things but I can't find any info on the site about if it's bird safe one thing though it's aresol so I doubt that's good If I spray it in the bathroom which the birds aren't near and leave the air cleaner on in that area do you think it would be ok? I don't want to get overrun with them in the house.

Well I got some and I sprayed it outside to see how it was and it was the most awful smelling stuff ever! It has plant based ingredients supposidly but it doesn't have the ingredients listed and it said scented with natural clove it was gross! I'll stick to the camicide and I'll try the toothpaste.

Raid Eath options?

we use Camicide here. It is safe to use around birds but I would ventilate. Since this is in the bathroom just open a window.

Earth Options

I have a can of it, and I use it sparingly in the house, well away from the bird cages. When the weather is permitting, I move everyone out to the patio, and then spray the kitchen. (Living in Florida, we are prone to having little buggy visitors) It doesn't smell the best, bit it takes care of business with no ill effects to the flock.

I have a serious ant problem myself. If you mix equal part vinager and water and wipe everthing down including the floor it does deter them from comming in. I just tried it myself yesterday on one area to se if it worked and it did, so today I am going to wipe down the whole kitchen with it. IT STINKS!!!
