Hello from Missouri. Ant control question.

[AndreaK]

Hello,

I have been growing various orchids for over 20 years. I am also a homeschool mom of 6 children. So my days consist of misting orchids, school, watering orchids, school, misting orchids, school, and so on..... I have a Dendrobium NOID (appears to be related to Den. Affine) which is 19 years old now.

I have a question about eradicating ants from indoor orchid plants. I have already tried the flooding out method which only reduced the number. I have baited them with commercial products - they are not interested. I baited them with powdered sugar/ borax solution - once again only a reduction in the population.
Is there a commercial systemic product for indoors which is safe for use around children and pets?

Thank you for any information,
AndreaK
