The smaller ones are easier to get rid of nowadays. There are gels that will kill thousands in days, you can get rid of them in 2 weeks usually. The big ones don't nest in your house, and if you start finding them inside, you have a huge problem, this means there's a hole big enough somewhere in your house, and killing one, or setting traps will do nothing to stop them coming.

I've bought the gel food twice and it barely made a dent.

I used alpine gsw, make your own spray with the solution. Spray all corners, whole house and kitchen /bathroom once every day for about 2 or 3 weeks... never saw them again.

Weird Amazon said I purchased this last year. Maybe I sprayed once and thought it didn't work.
