Getting rid of ants is very simple. First, you need to find out where ants came from. Next, place the ant baits near the ways where ants come in and where they frequented. The ants will bring bait (bait) to the nest and eat, then the ants will be killed. You can either buy commercial ant baits or use an antibiotic with natural ingredients.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Subtract ants

  1. Find out where ants crawled into your home. Before dealing with the ants, you need to find out how they got into your home. Common entrances include windows and doors. Cracks or holes in the walls and floors are also places where ants can enter.

  2. Place the bait near the entrance to poison the ant. After you have determined where the ants are coming from, you should place the baits near where they come and go. The ants will return to the nest and the whole ants will die from the bait.
  3. Make sure doors as well as windows are closed. Ants can enter your home through doors and windows, so it is important that you keep these paths as closed as possible. Seal any holes or crevices as soon as you find out. Being aware of these issues will help prevent your home from getting colonized by ants and keep your home out of ants after you've removed them with bait.

  4. Clean the floor after every meal. Keeping your floor clean, free of food scraps, will help prevent ants from entering infestation. Sweep or vacuum up any debris from the floor after eating. Then wipe the area to remove any remaining food residue.
  5. Wash dishes after each meal. It is important to keep the sink and the surrounding clean. Dirty dishes and leftovers will attract ant colonies. Try to clean the dishes and the kitchen counter after eating. If you cannot wash dishes right away, soak dirty dishes in water.

  6. Daily garbage. Daily dumping will eliminate the ants' food sources. Therefore, you should remove trash at least once a day. You can also use the trash can with a closed lid to keep ants out. advertisement

Method 2 of 3: Use folk methods

  1. Poisoning the ants with boric acid and honey. Mix the honey and boric acid together in a bowl. Stir until they become a sticky, sticky mixture. Spread this mixture on a carton and place the trap near where ants come and go. Replace the trap every two days until the ants are gone.
  2. Try killing ants with borax (borax) and sugar. Mix 1.5 teaspoons of borax with 1.5 cups of water and 0.5 cups of sugar. Soak a cotton ball in the solution until it is full of water. Place cotton balls on the lid of jars and jars on the stove, where ants pass.
  3. Spray the ants with white vinegar. Mix one part white vinegar and one part distilled water in a spray bottle. Spray this solution directly on ants. Then spray on the ant entrance and the path through. This eliminates chemical pathways formed from the pheromone ants secrete and prevents the ant from returning.
  4. Spray lemon juice on the ants you see. Just like vinegar, the acid in lemon juice can kill ants and eliminate ant's pheromone pathways. Add four tablespoons of lemon juice to a spray bottle containing about 220 ml of water. Spray the solution directly on ants to destroy them, then spray on entrances and pheromone streets to prevent the ants from returning. advertisement

Method 3 of 3: Use commercial products

  1. Choose a bait that is labeled for ants. If you do decide to kill ants with bait, make sure the product packaging is clearly for ants. Common household ant bait types include abamectin, fipronil, sulfluramide, propoxur and orthoboric acid.
  2. Follow the instructions carefully. You need to carefully read the instructions on the product packaging. If the label recommends that you use protective measures, such as wearing gloves while spreading bait, follow the directions exactly.
  3. Be aware that spraying ants is not very effective on ant nests. Although the spray can kill ants on contact, the rest of the ant community remains unharmed. Using ants, whether commercial or homemade, is still the best way to get rid of ants. If you use ant sprays like permethrin, bifenthrin, or cyfluthrin, make sure they are labeled for indoor use. advertisement
