A product called Terro works very well, in a day or so your ants will be gone. It is a liquid you put on the small squares provided (if you run out of squares, you can use cardboard that does not absorb liquid). The ants love it and take it back to their colony and it kills them, Available at diy stores in the pest control section. Keep this out of reach of children and pets.
I always use a product called Terro. It works every time.
kill them with Terro then vacuum the dead ones up and throw out the bag
Agree with above recommendations. I use Terro traps indoors and outdoors applied in spring and previous ant problems have ceased.
Hi Jacqui, hope this helps you out

Terro traps take weeks to work. Optigard Gel (found on Amazon) usually works in 24 hours. You place a dot of gel in the path of the ants and they carry the poison to the colony to kill the queen. If you spray them you are only killing the worker ants outside of the colony and the queen will make more. Keep pets and kids away. Only a tiny dot of gel in spots works amazingly fast.
We use Terro.
I always use Home Defense. If you know the point of entry try Peppermint essential oil on a cotton ball. They hate peppermint
Remove any open areas of food in the house that may be enticing them. Spray all windows and doors on outside with an ant spray.
Diatomaceous earth will get rid of them. Sprinkle it around and it will kill them shortly after they come in contact. It is safe for pets & children if you get food grade. Works on all pests with exoskeletons.
Indoors use Terro liquid bait traps and outdoors use diatomaceous earth. They both work near instantly and the latter is all natural and pet safe.
