DalmatianSOAP, use SOAP if it doesn't work, 'cause it's better than insecticide. The problem with pests and ants is that they adapt quickly. What killed those 2 weeks ago might be useless now etc.
I hope they vanish, but I doubt that if they come sometime in the future, it will work.
The advantage with the soap is, that it doesn't kill with it's chemistry, it simply creates a very thin layer (so it should be out of rain!) and keeps the pest inside. Not only that when they eat it, they will be poisoned, but also this layer prohibits the air to be created for a short time (1 or 2 days) and to exist there for a short time, so the plant is unharmed, yet the bugs are gonna die with horrible, suffocating death.
And this works with any generation, 'cause they can't change their breathing system.
