Homeowner with dogs and chickens needs to eliminate widespread ant infestation across entire 0.5-acre property without harming pets.
Professional pest control only treats perimeter near house, not the whole yard. Off-the-shelf ant killers are unsafe for pets. No product covers entire property with pet-safe approach.
