How to eliminate ants at home

Many people are very troubled by the ants in their homes and certainly cannot find a good way to eliminate these ants. This will cause a lot of bacteria in the home. Especially families with babies should pay more attention. At this time, you must find a way to eliminate them using the method that is least harmful to the human body, which can block the ants' own path, thus hindering the ants.

Consider the least harmful method first, then the most harmful method to deal with ants. This is not only good for your health, but also for the environment.

Eliminate ants' trails. Use the following methods to quickly eliminate the ants' path, kill the ants on the path, and prevent other ants from following it. It is recommended to find the entry point of the path first, and then immediately build a barrier. Vaseline, sticky-side-up tape, or talcum powder can all be used as a barrier. After building the barrier, the ants outside will not be able to come in. Then try one of the following methods to remove the ant tracks.

Dip a sponge in soapy water and wipe along the ant trail to catch a line of ants, then wring out the sponge in the drain. Use soapy water to catch the ants, then twist the pipe into the sewer until all the ants in the track are eliminated.

Spray the ant trails with an all-purpose cleaner or bleach and wipe them away with a damp paper towel. It is also advisable to spray the ant nest, but be sure to kill the entire nest of ants, otherwise it will backfire and the surviving ants will open up new nests.

Squash the "Investigator". Every once in a while, the ant nest sends out individual ants to search for food sources. If you see a lone ant sauntering across your coffee table, don't let it return home alive. Because this ant can let the entire nest know where you sprinkled apple juice and where there are delicious foods. If the scout ant returns home and brings a group of brothers with it, they will march in a line along the scent trail. Unless you are prepared to trap them, kill them immediately.

Get rid of any ants that are lingering in your pantry or various cupboards. You need to put out some tempting poison bait so that the ants will excitedly run back to the nest with their "trophies". Boric acid powder or borax mixed with sugar water is the most common bait. Boric acid can damage the outer surface of the ant's body (when present as boric acid powder, it has a similar effect to diatomaceous earth) and can also damage the ant's internal organs (after being ingested). Prepare the bait with one cup of water, two cups of sugar and two tablespoons of boric acid.

Waiting for the first batch of ants to appear. Do not use bait to attract a new batch of ants, otherwise it will attract a new batch of ants to build nests. If there is an ant trail, place the bait next to it (not on it, as this will interfere with their route home). You can also place the bait in a reliable area of ​​your pantry where ants gather.
