My previous tenants put some Martin ant killer in the property and now the property stinks. Can't seem to get rid of the smell. Every time we show the place, they'll complain it stinks or it smell.

After painting the place, it still smell. Any suggestions???

TIA! --47.32.xxx.xxx

I googled " why does Martin ant killer make my house stink" seems like a common issue. Can you remove the product or did it get spread around? Many people report same issue. Otherwise i guess tenant is using this as an excuse to hide their own smelly house. --99.203.xx.xxx

It was spread throughout the house. No matter how many times you mop or clean. It does not go away. --47.32.xxx.xxx

Are you going to be charging the previous tenant for your lost rent & expense to solve the problem?

Perhaps you'll need to try using an ozone generator. --96.237.xx.xx

Yes, we are going to charge them for it. I’ll look up the ozone generator.

LiTX,

I searched your issue and learned that some ants have a strong odor, like rotten coconut.

Could your odor problem be the dead ants? They said the ants increase their odor when stressed.

I found this under a Q&A section of a site that sells it. Might be worth a call the the manufacturer, they may have a solution for you.

Q

What is the best way to remove the odor of Martins Surrender Fire Ant Killer?

We applied indoors for roaches and the smell is very bad.

A

Martins Surrender Fire Ant Killer does have a very strong odor. It is not labled to be used indoors nor to treat for roaches. We would recommend that you contact the manufacturer directly for advice on how to safely remove the product and the odor. You can reach Control Solutions by calling 281-892-2500. In the meantime, it would be a good idea to take a look at our Roach Control Guide to find some products that might be better suited for your needs. --50.26.xx.xxx
