Getting rid of ants

[BADecker]

I tried powdered sugar with powdered rat poison mixed in. That didn't work.

So, I simply got rid of the ncles, and the ants followed... you know, aunts uncles.

What works for me are those little ant traps you get at many department stores in the cleaning or hardware sections.

I tried sugar and old candies soaked with boric acid as this article says. It worked really well, ants brought the bait into the nest and it eventually killed the queen as well as the other insects. Did extra cleaning with vinegar after that, just to be sure.

Totally agreed on this though i never had a chance of trying this borax and candy combination but the thing is,in every ants colony theres a queen and the whole group will die if the queen died so better try this soon to prevent them all,and also i will do my own trial lol

If you have already tried all organic products and you have to get rid of black ants in the garden, then you have to turn them into chemical means.

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.

Put a little sugar outside the house and let the ants go to him.

What are the options for this problem that doesn't involves professional help tho?

Don't think this can be solved, they are everywhere, different kinds.

Well if the situation isn't that bad, may be you should just keep your kitchen clean so ants won't go around. Or you could try a mix of sugar and borax to kill off those nasty ants. You can also use citrus fruits especially lemon as a cleaning solution. But if you want to beat them like an hunter, follow their tracks towards the nest then try every mixed solution that internet offers to beat the colony especially the queen ant. Now it sounds like an adventure in an online game. But I recommend that you shouldn't often use insecticides or pesticides because if you didn't beat them at first use, they will get used to the chemicals.

In my house I had this problem, and I did not realize, they attacked me at night while I slept, and I got up at 2:40 am with all the sleep and with bites, the best thing that occurred to me was to look for Kerosene and throw them out, they were exterminated at once, another option if you do not have Kerosene can be gasoline, because they are very strong liquids that can not tolerate them and do not get close there.

Getting rid of ants is so easy. You just need a powder to do so. Try to use powder in the area where you mostly see your ants are climbing.

There is a reason why ants are visiting you house and that's because you have food left behind and they are more than happy to take it. Make sure to keep everything very clean, not leave any trash behind or where they could reach it and you should be fine. If you still have a problem with them the best thing to do is call a specialized company to take care of this, the sooner the better.

You've got my attention to the topic because ants already at my bedroom and I don't know where it came from. Maybe because of an old wood or plywood there. I think it has already termite inside.

Get rid of them but with great difficulty.
There is a lot of medication to eliminate.
I found them in my house.

I had ants in my flat once. No powder, rat poison and other stuff that can be bought in a local shows helped me.
To get rid of them I have call a guy from local advertisement site. He sprayed all the floor, furniture with Citrometrin. Not sure that you can buy that on your own, but I advice looking for a service that can spray your flat with that.

He spent about 15min spraying 3 bedrom flat, then I opened all the windows for 2 hours. After that I havent seen ants since 2017.

I've googled a bit. Here is the hint link if you want to know more about this insecticide.

I think you can call a special service which takes an ant , or buy a special tool and always do preventive maintenance against them

Special service - right decision. Because they have a licence to buy strong and toxic chemicals. And since it toxic/poison, I'd better do the job with someone hands

actually all you need to do is find the Queen ant because she is the reason why those army ants are busy providing for her foods and security.

or better find exterminator because that is their expertise ,i remember when i was young my grand father use to bring me hunting the queen ants and twice that we successfully find them.

Chemical sprays do much better work than just water and sugar.
The problem is that they are chemically created. Try keep your house clean from dirty dishes and scrambles on the carpet or the floor.
