Dear Combat Technicians,

Bravo! (Well done!) As I sit here in my new ant-free apartment, I had to write and thank the masterminds at Combat for their wonderful product. Thank you!
I just moved into my new apartment off the highway, and wouldn't you know - ants! Naturally, I complained to the management (politely, of course - don't want to get off on the wrong foot!) and they had someone spray. But it didn't do any good. I think it just invited more ants.
So I decided to take matters into my own hands. I went to my local Wal-Mart Supercenter and bought myself a box of Combat Superbait for ants. I was a little disappointed when I looked at the chart inside and couldn't find my type of ants. I thought an ant was an ant. But, I tried your traps anyway. They worked like a charm! It took only two days for them to take the bait and leave my toothpaste alone.
I do have one question, though. What happened to the ants? Your brochure says that the ants take the bait back to the queen and they all die. So, do I have a pile of dead ants somewhere in the wall? (I think they were coming from the wall socket.) I hope that doesn't invite some other bugs that eat dead ants. What should I do?
But for now, my only problem is all the crickets that come with the spring season. You don't have anything to get rid of them, do you?
Your box says "Guaranteed to Work." You're not joking!

Satisfied (ant-free) Customer, Simon Presley
