Haven't tried it myself, but are you referring to dribble or vapor or
both?  I've read about quite a few people recommending doing 3 rounds of
vapor a week apart to catch a whole brood cycle.  I believe they also
claimed vapor was less toxic but it's been a while since I looked into it
because I've had reasonable control with formic.
