I was looking for info on ants in the yard. This book is mainly concerned with ants in the house. As such, there are many methods of keeping ants out of the house, many are repeated throughout the book.
There was one additional method of controlling ants in the yard that I was unaware of (and will try), as well as a confirmation that my current method is effective. So, all in all, not a lost cause of a read. :D
There is interesting information on ant species and habits, as well.
Not what I expected or hoped for but an interesting read and informational for ridding one's house of ants (I think so anyway....I haven't had need to try these methods).
