A sweet water bait with 0.001\% imidacloprid provided about 80\% reduction of ants for one month.  All of the treatments significantly reduced ant activity, \& at the end of the study 95\% of the homeowners rated the treatments as very effective.  In a survey of homeowners living in a neighborhood infested with Argentine ants, more than 70\% were doing their own ant control using over-the-counter insecticides.  However, only 10\% of this group reported achieving complete or almost complete ant control.  In contrast, of the 20\% of homeowners that hired professional pest control services, 63\% reported complete or almost complete ant control.]},
