Olesya, Smolensk

At first I tried different folk methods for exterminating ants, but I realized that modern insects do not take weed. On the advice of a friend, I bought Raptor gel and applied it with strokes on the walls and places near the trash and ventilation. After a couple of days, the ants left, so that chemistry is still more effective.
