Learning what is the fastest way to get rid of sugar ants is an essential part of keeping your home pest free. There are many natural ways to get rid of sugar ants. Ants, like almost any living creature, respond to their environment. If you keep them out of your house they will not bother you. To keep them out or prevent them from returning, you need to understand what attracts them, and eliminate it. When you have ants in places like the kitchen and bathroom they can be hard to control. However, there are a lot of non-toxic methods that you can use that will effectively get rid of sugar ants on your own. It’s important to understand sugar ants are different than other types of ants. They do not like light or open spaces; therefore, they prefer to live in dark areas such as within cabinets and countertops in your kitchen. Here are some natural ways to get rid of sugar ants that you can use in your home today.

Natural Ways To Get Rid Of Sugar Ants

Use a natural ant bait.

If you’re having a hard time finding the ants’ nest, or if you just want to be sure that you’re using the best ant baits for your situation, consider using an ant trap. There are two kinds of traps that can be used: poisonous trap and non-poisonous bait trap. Some people prefer to use borax as an anti-ant poison because it’s a natural insecticide that doesn’t have any harmful side effects if ingested by humans or animals. This means it can be used around pets and children without worry.

However, not everyone wants to use such strong chemicals around their house so they’ll opt for natural and organic solutions instead—and this is where “bait traps” come in handy! What’s great about these types of traps is that they allow you more control over which type(s) of ants are being attracted into your home while simultaneously reducing any chance of accidentally poisoning yourself while trying out different methods (which we all know is always fun!).

Keep sweets and sugar out of reach.

Another way to get rid of sugar ants is to keep sweets and sugar out of reach. This means keeping them in the cupboard or fridge, and cleaning up spills quickly—no one wants ants crawling all over their food. If you have a trash can, make sure it’s tightly covered so that no ants can get in there either.

Wipe up spills.

One of the most common ways to get ants in your home is by having food or liquid spills on your countertop. To stop the scouts from finding food, wipe up any spills as soon as they happen. You can also use a wet cloth or sponge to clean off the area before wiping it down with a natural cleaner like vinegar and water.

To prevent these scouts from finding more food and bringing it back to their nest, try spraying an ant killer around all of your countertops so that no one can get near them!

Use essential oils.

• Mix 1 drop of lavender, tea tree or citrus oil with 1 tsp. vegetable oil and apply to the infested area.
• To make a stronger solution, mix 1 drop each of lavender and tea tree or orange oils with 4 ounces (1/2 cup) water. Pour this mixture into a spray bottle, then shake well before spraying onto ant-infested areas.
• If you have sensitive skin or are pregnant or nursing, test the essential oil on a small patch of skin before using it on larger amounts of your body to make sure it doesn’t cause irritation.
• If you’re allergic to any essential oils listed above, try mixing 3 drops each of clove bud and eucalyptus essential oils with 6 drops rosemary oil instead; spray this solution all over countertops where ants are present once per week for two weeks straight for best results

Consider borax-based ant killers.

For those with an aversion to using chemicals, borax can be a useful alternative. However, it’s important to note that borax-based ant killers are not meant for use by children and pets. Borax is toxic to humans and other mammals, so it should never be ingested or inhaled directly—use gloves and goggles when applying these products.

If you do decide to go the borax route, make sure your treatment area is well ventilated during application. Also take care not to get any product on your skin; if you do accidentally get some on yourself (which may be difficult considering how caustic this substance is), wash off immediately with soap and water.

Other insecticides can also help kill sugar ants: diatomaceous earth is one such option that’s available at most garden centers or hardware stores—just follow the label instructions carefully when applying! You may also opt for commercially available sprays containing pyrethrins as an active ingredient (see below).

Apply white vinegar to kill ants and their nests.

White vinegar is a natural ant deterrent, because the pungent smell drives ants out of their nests. You can use white vinegar in several ways to prevent sugar ants from infesting your home:

• Pour white vinegar directly into their nest. Ants usually build their nests near or under kitchens, so you can pour some liquid down your sink drain and wait for them to come out of hiding. If you don’t want to pour it directly on the colony, set up a trap near the opening by using a plastic bottle filled with water and capped at both ends with duct tape. When an ant enters through this “trapdoor” (which will be opened if there are other openings), it will fall through into the container below and drown there. Repeat this process until no more ants come out of their nest entrance—you should notice less activity after two days or so!
• Use spray bottles filled with 50/50 mixture of water and white vinegar as an alternative method for killing sugar ants when pouring isn’t possible (for example, when dealing with large infestations). Be careful not to let children or pets get close enough that they might accidentally drink from these bottles though; we recommend storing them somewhere outside where kids can’t get at them easily but still close enough that adults won’t forget about them either!

There are some simple ways to get rid of ants without chemicals

The first step in eliminating sugar ants is to stop feeding them. If ants are coming into your home to steal sugar and other sweets, remove these items from areas they can access. Find an ant colony by looking for their trails and use a natural ant bait such as borax or diatomaceous earth (DE).

If you have pets or small children who might accidentally ingest the DE, use borax instead. Borax is non-toxic to humans but can kill insects quickly and effectively. You can also use essential oils like cinnamon oil or peppermint oil in a spray bottle on countertops and floors around the house to keep ants away from food sources.

If none of these methods work for you, consider using boric acid powder or bait stations that contain hydramethylnon. These products are often more effective than conventional methods because they target the entire nest rather than just individual pests.[1]
