Genuine issue here, does anyone have any good solutions to getting rid of ants?
Last time they started getting inside the house, but luckily they haven't reached that stage yet. I've tried those store bought ant poison pellets, and it seemed to have no impact. I've tried making some sugar water and borax solution and it did attract a bunch of ants to the baits, but it seemed to only get half the ants. So half the area is clear of ants (for now) but there is another stream of ants like a metre away that was unaffected.

If they are in the kitchen: Don't leave anything food related in the house! Don't leave the dishes etc.

The home itself is okay for now, everything is definitely clean inside. Just worried that with so many outside, eventually they'll venture inside looking for the smallest bits of food.

We use vinegar at home to avoid ants, they hate the smell.

I own a remote house in an olive grove with a lot of mice and rats, so I am using rodent baits. I noticed last summer that ants like it and disappeared from house. Just give it a try.

Try to find the reason why they are so brazenly climb into the house. It could be anything, such as food. There are special services that fight pests, try to contact them.

The ants that you see are the scouts, and there is no point killing them. They will just send more. As somebody has suggested, put stuff down like vinegar or paraffin. They will go back and tell the others that it's not a nice place to visit.

Do not leave food open at night, especially sugar or honey, and dirty dishes))There are many means to combat their appearance. It can help even everywhere a little scattered kitchen soda.

The pellets you buy from the store typically takes over a week to work because they need to take it back to the nest and there are thousands of them in a nest. Some things I've found to work: - Spraying the path they use so they lose their way
- Spraying the entrance they use into your home from outside
- Leaving the dead ones you killed behind to warn them off

Even if he do anything like that stillw ants will find ways to look for their foods,what you need to do is follow the track and get into the Queen thats the only chance to escape from the misery,you must Dig deeper to get and kill the Queen so they will gone forever,i did that once but i am going to tele you that its not easy ,or better call the pest control to do the job
