Exterminant is a "no-spray" ant killer specially formulated for professional use. It is applied on the outside of the building in order to attract ants from inside. It kills off ants at their source, the nest. Some peoples ants have been so bad that they were in their fridge, yet this treatment dealt to them.

Argentine Ants, like other ants, have times when the nest needs protein and other times when it needs sugars. When any ant nest is collecting sugars, Exterminant is at its best, although some people have mixed it with cat food and had good results when ants were seeking protein.

Sprays can also be attempted to treat ants but will only kill the ants that actually walk on it. That means that the queen can keep on pumping out eggs at a rapid rate. This means you'd have dead ants around the place but never actually kill off the nest. Another thing that research has shown is that sprays can stress an ant nest and when their nest is stressed they make more queens and split the nest and so make the problem even worse.
