How do you get rid of ants out of your house?

Lure the ants outside with a bait pile of sugar and honey. Slowly move the pile further away. Keep you house immaculate clean. If there's no food, they leave. Find out where they are entering the house and plug the holes. Ants don't like mint. I plant mint all around my house. Keep it well watered. When the ants are well involved with the bait pile, you can replace the pile with ant sticks or poison. Read the directions. Ant stakes work well too. Place them around the house. Ants are attracted to garbage, so put all garbage in plastic bags. and seal them. Clean the garbage containers with pine-sol and don't rinse. Leave a strong solution on the container inside and out and on the floor around the garbage area. Ants love meat. To lure them outside place meat outside the door with the bait pile. Once outside you may follow the trail to the source and place more poison. Ant sticks work well. The ants carry the poison back to the main nest and feed it to the larvae and queen.

I had a ant line that came from outside to my kitchen trash can. I had to sweep the ants outside and place cayenne pepper at the entry way. ( Do not kill ants inside the house, they leave a scent that DRAWS others ants to the same area where they were killed.) I even sprinkle some on the door because ants are relentless. If their way is blocked they will try to find another. I also sprinkle some on their trail leading to my house. It didn't take too long before they stop trying to come into the house. But I still let the pepper stay there for two weeks. Then cleaned the area. No more ants and it has been a year now.

You have got to keep things clean in and around your house. To stop ants from entering, you can just put some turmeric powder on the window sill or around the door frame.

Don't leave any kind of food that would attract them exposed. Use special products that kill ants. There is the product that you put in the corners of your house (small plastic thing). The ants eat from it and then they die. You can change it every 2-3 weeks.

those sound like carpenter ants, it may mean you have a problem with your houses' framing ie: they eat wood. First use an exterminator to kill them, then have your home inspected by your local building department offical. I hope your houses is ok

First make sure there is no food source for them, either call a pest control place or I go to a place called do it yourself pest control and buy poison called Demon and I spray it all the way around where the floor meets the walls, the lower corner of the house.

Jam tins at both front and back of your house ....use what you think...get rid of the devils..then use chemicals or herbs ..your call.Waking up to 6-inch cockroaches in my bed was enough to turn me....Lucky I tossed and turned in my sleep.Good luck!

Usually ants are there because of filth or food. try cleaning the house, pick up garbage and then go out and buy ant traps.
