When you see an ant in your kitchen, the first thing that comes to mind is ‘ew, get it out of here!’. Ants seem to be a problem with many people. They can make all sorts of smells, trail through all kinds of things, and ruin food in a short period of time. We do not want any of this happening in our very own kitchens. There are many ways to try and get rid of ants from your home, but I am here to tell you about a few easy ones. Baking soda is one such method. However, we do not want to sprinkle it all over the countertop or floor like we would with salt; instead, we want to put it in places where you know ants will travel.

Food with cinnamon Also sitting on the counter might cause ants to come visit some time during the day. Make sure you have some food on there that has

How To Kill Kitchen Ants

Find the ant nest.

Now that you’re looking for ants, it’s time to find the nest. Once you know where they are coming from, you can start planning your attack.

• In the kitchen: Check behind or under appliances, along countertops and cabinets. Look in pantries, drawers and cupboards. You may also want to check on shelves above the sink or refrigerator if there are any cracks leading into your walls (this is often where ants will enter). If there is an infestation of pests in one area of a room such as this, chances are there’s something else going on with them too!
• Outside: Ants can get into your home in many different ways but most commonly through doors or windows left open during warm weather months when humidity levels rise outside so keeping these areas secure tightens up any loose ends with infiltration routes into your house! If possible take note of where they tend to congregate while outdoors; perhaps it’s near tree stumps or piles of leaves which could indicate either food sources nearby (ants love sugar) or possibly nests nearby too?

Use soap and water to kill ants.

While a little soap and water might not seem like a viable way to get rid of ants, it can actually be extremely effective. Ants hate the slippery feeling that soap leaves on their exoskeletons, so they will avoid coming into contact with it at all costs. Using this simple trick will allow you to keep your home free from pesky ants for as long as you need!

Boil them away.

To kill ants with boiling water, fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Once the water is boiling, take the pot off the heat and carefully pour some of the boiling water onto each of your ant mounds. This will kill any ants that come into contact with it. Be careful not to get any on yourself or anything else; you don’t want to accidentally give yourself second-degree burns!

Boric acid is a natural way to kill ants.

Boric acid is a natural insecticide that can be used to kill ants. It comes in powder form, so you can sprinkle it around areas where the ants are coming from (e.g., window sills) or along their path of travel. Boric acid is safe for use around children and pets, but keep them away from the area until the ants have died so they don’t accidentally ingest any dead insects or dust off the powder.

Aromatic oils will get rid of ants.

Essential oils are a natural, non-toxic repellent that will keep ants at bay. These oil blends smell good and won’t harm your kitchen environment. Mix 2 drops of cinnamon with 1 teaspoon of water and use a cotton ball to apply the mixture to areas where ants are active.

Sprinkle diatomaceous earth around your home.

Diatomaceous earth is a natural product that kills ants.

• Sprinkle diatomaceous earth around your home. Diatomaceous earth will kill ants and other insects as long as it’s dry, but it’s not harmful to humans or animals when wet. If you have access to natural or organic food stores, this could be a good place to look for it. You can also find it online at places like Amazon and Walmart
• Put some in an ant trap: This is an easy way to get rid of ants on the go if you are traveling (and don’t want to bring back diatomaceous earth). Just pour some into a shallow bowl with an edge—like a margarine container lid—and make sure that there isn’t too much liquid around it so that the ants can reach their water source. The liquid will attract them more than the powder itself does and they’ll drown in it over time!

With some patience and perseverance, you can rid your home of ants relatively easily!

The best way to kill ants is not with chemicals. When it comes to killing ants, there are two basic ways: using non-toxic methods and using toxic ones.

Non-toxic methods include things like borax, diatomaceous earth (DE), ant traps, or ant baits. These options contain no chemicals and do not harm humans or pets when used as directed—but they may take some time before they work and should be used in conjunction with good housekeeping practices (e.g., removing the food source). Toxic methods include bug bombs and insecticides that contain pyrethrins, rotenone or resmethrin; these products can be dangerous if inhaled or ingested by humans and pets alike!
