Are there any indoor pesticides safe for pets?

Question

In my apartment, we have two cats, a snake, three people, and sugar ants. We can't get rid of the ants. We keep the place pretty clean but they wont go away. They drive us crazy! I need them gone, but I love my pets and don't want them to get hurt.

Answer 1

Mix together a small jar of -say-mint or a small jar of some other type of sweet jelly with an equal amount of boric acid and place dabs on some small lids like come on those canned potato chips.  Put them under cabinets ,the sink, refrigerator, and etcetera.  Also, spray ant/roach spray around the outside of doors and windows and at the base of outside walls.  Do this at night just after dark.  By morning it's dry and won't harm anyone.  For fleas that pets drag in, place soapy water in a baking dish with a 2-inch high edge and put a goose neck type lamp over it so the bulb is about 6 to 8 inch above the water.  Turn out every light at night except that one.  Fleas jump, hit the hot bulb, drop and drown.  This requires 2 one-week treatments to catch them all.
