How can I get rid of ants in my house?

Get a big pot of hot, boiling water and just splash ants with the burning water. Get a spray bottle with a LOT of dish soap, add a bit of water to thin it out so you can spray effectively, and just spray where ants are. Get a big jar and fill it like, a quarter or a half with honey, then put it somewhere. Once it's overrun with ants, just splash dish soap water and/or boiling water at them. Find the sources (the anthill), and pour a big pot of boiling water mixed with some salt (maybe a tablespoon). Put corn meal all around the place- ants will eat it but can't digest it properly and die. Get coffee grounds and spread it around the house and outside; ants hate it. Also, get a spray bottle, put in a mixture of water and vinegar, then spray it around. Ants hate that, too. Put talcum/baby powder/red pepper on ants and their trails, and at the openings or anywhere that can lead into the house (aka windows, doors, etc.). Also, chalk the windows and doors- ants don't like chalk. Get some lavender oil, put a few drops into a bucket of water, then mop away! Ants don't like lavender oil.

Baits like Tarro will not work on Carpenter Ants or Fire Ants. It is designed for the little grease ants you find on the kitchen counters. The larger ants must have a path to outside vegetation to get food. You need to prevent them from getting to the plants around your house. I had carpenter ants and tiny grease ants. I finally got them killed out by doing it myself. All the organic remedies I could find did not work on these persistent pest. What did work was getting Spectracide Indoor / Outdoor ant spray and spraying the entire outside of the house and out from the foundation for about a foot on the ground. And then spray under the house. If you don't drench when you spray, the ants just move their eggs and nest to someplace you didn't spray. You also want to form a barrier around the house by drenching one foot of ground from the foundation and all plants touching the house. Repeat every two weeks until you no longer have ants. Remember a new crop hatches every day, so you need to repeat every two weeks until you have them all. You also need to do an outside survey to see if the Fire Ants and Carpenter Ants have a other nest. If they do, they new ants will move in from the outside sources. Look for old boards and buildings where they carpenter ants could live, and get rid of the boards and buildings. Powder fire ant and Argentine ant hills.

I had ants for one day. What I did was by a can of Raid to get rid of the ones I could find. I then bleached my kitchen until my sinuses burned. It worked for me.

First thing, don't allow crumbs of food to lay around. Keep lids on sugar, and all food. They sell ant baits in little containers in most big grocery stores and garden stores. You just put them around and the ants take the poison back to the nests. Look around outside the house for ant hills. If you have rotting wood, that is where the carpenter ants live. Pour bleach down the holes, the chlorine fumes are heavier than air and it works pretty good. You may have to get an exterminator. They are expensive because they use lots of poison and have pumps and hoses, etc. Also, that isn't the safest job in the world.

the best thing to use is oil , i mean '' petroleum '' .. coz it kills ants so fast ... :)

At home depot (or any home store) they have ant traps that are little traps that attract ants, you wont be able to tell that they are even there. And when your done you just throw them out.

Give the product Torro a try... It is UNREAL and works great

Wow!! That sounds bad. Well, Maybe bug spray would work. I really have no idea, that's just a guess. My Dad uses bug spray to keep ants out of our house, and it seems to be working fine. I hope you get those ants out of your house soon and everything goes back to normal!

To help u with that ask exterminator if he can use some kind of posion to kill them or kill any ant in your sight!!!
