    Use sticky boards where you see ant trails Inside, Out side, next to the foundation ant poison store bought or home made. I have a small funnel that I use to get it as close as I can to the foundation.

    home made ant killer, 1 empty water bottle, cut down to 2" tall. ingredients: 5 tbsp baking soda, 5 tbsp icing sugar, 3 tbsp water. mix dry ingredients and water. place small mounds ear the walls where the ats are.

  • For outdoors try diatomaceous earth which is all natural and pet safe. Indoors I use Terro liquid ant bait/traps. Both products work practically instantly.

    I use natural non-toxic Ant Killer, its mainly lemongrass, citronella and cedar oil..... kills on contact, and you can wipe down areas with it on a paper towel like counters, doorways and threshold, toe kicks to repel them, I also spray my trash can daily. I've used EcoLogic right now, and have used EcoSmart also, and Victors' which is mint based.

    I use Terra products. They have some that have the poison enclosed in a green plastic stake you put in the ground. My dog leaves them alone. You could pile rocks around them. Terra also has a great ant killer for inside the home.
