The dog treated with a bravecto tab should be enough to sort the ones waiting to jump on a dog in the house/kennel shouldn't it? 

Yes but the wee feckers can lie dormant for over a year in some cases . Always best to treat with a residual.  As said above.  Ficam w was a fantastic product.  Pitty it's off the market . Some wize auld pest controllers will most likely have a wee stash . @ jack the lad , send me your address al send you a tube a maxforce. But don't use it till spring when you start seeing them again.  But a standard ant powder mix it in water and pour it into the nest sites where possible.  Should do a bit a damage to the ant population.  Unfortunately their nests can go 15' deep

Smoke bombs no good . Doesn't penetrate into cracks and crevices . Treat the dog with reputable treatment and either use a residual insecticide or use diatomaceous earth . Smoke generators have no residual effect. 

Did you just advocate flash banging your dogs for having fleas ffs?

Midge and mosquito bites....red hot water as hot as you can stand without scolding directly on the bite...works a treat at stopping it from itching

Remember you telling me this years ago here when I was bitching about mosquito bites
