How do you get rid of ants.
Over the last year, I have collected a list of all the remedies that people have used to ward off ants, before they call me to take over. So here are some of the homemade solutions that that didn’t work. Clothing stain remover used to spray on the ants and on their trails, yes the product maybe nontoxic to us and pets, but unless you don’t mind stain remover all over the floor then keep it for laundry. Ant traps, mix 1 teaspoon boric acid and 5 tablespoons sugar into plastic containers with water. Yes this will reduce the ant population but will only slay the individual ants – not the colony. Here is another beauty, place an unbroken line of one of the following around your home’s perimeter: salt, black pepper, flour, cayenne pepper or chalk – good luck with this one as you will run out of patience long before you finish making the perimeter and will wash away after the first rain fall. Spread whole cloves, allspice, juniper berries, cinnamon or bay leaves around your house – I think this one came from the manager at the bulk section at save on foods, this one will cost you plenty. And finally, spread corn meal and cream of wheat where you see ants crawling around your house, these are allegedly very toxic to ants and will also take care of the entire colony, again I believe you maybe just be feeding the ants as there is no evidence that this works. So try out these home made remedies and then give us a call.
