flying ant spray

We have flying ants that migrate through here every once in a while.  A friend came by the Motel I won and suggested this spray that he had.  I believe it is Lamboa something.  I sprayed some and it really done the trick.  I would like to order this if I can get you to lead me in the right direction.  I thought I would spray it around the motel and in the crawlspace.  Will this kill a variety of insects?

Flying ants are usually a sign that there is a nest close by. As explained in our ANT CONTROL ARTICLE, ant nests will release swarmers, or ants with wings, when they are trying to start new colonies. These swarmers are essentially males and females who will attempt to hook up away from their nest of origin with the goal of starting a new nest.

Seeing flying ants throughout the summer is quite common. Wind and air currents can carry them quite some distance when they leave a nest so most are probably just landing on or around your property and not cause for immediate concern. But if you aren't doing some kind of pest control on a regular basis, any of these ants could easily start a new colony which in turn will lead to a whole other set of problems.

To properly protect yourself and your property, it would be wise to institute a regular pest control program. The simplest thing you can do is to spray the outside of the building with something like the LAMDA-CYHALOTHRIN. Highly effective on most any insect, it's both odorless and economical to apply. Most homes will require a treatment every 2-3 months during which time a good 1-2 gallons should be applied. Clearly more should be used when treating properties that lodge people or process food. And of course, many such structures should probably treat inside as well. But since most all insects originate from the outside, doing a good regular perimeter treatment around the structure is a big help and should be done no matter what. This way you can get them before they ever get inside.
