Neem Oil Kill Ants
Introduction
Neem oil is a natural insecticide that works well against ants because they spray it on the soil where the ants live. Neem oil also helps keep new ants from coming into your house, since they won’t want to cross over it.
Ants can be a nuisance. If a colony of ants invaded your home, it’s important to eliminate them quickly before the problem worsens.
Ants can be a nuisance. If a colony of ants invaded your home, it’s important to eliminate them quickly before the problem worsens. While some ant treatments are only effective on small infestations, neem oil is an effective remedy for both large and small infestations of ants.
Neem oil kills ants by suffocating them when they come into contact with neem oil or by poisoning their nervous system if ingested. You can use neem oil in several ways:
- Pour 1/2 cup of vegetable oil or olive oil into a spray bottle and add 10 drops of pureneem® Neem Oil; shake well before each use. Spray directly onto the ants as needed, wiping up any excess that may have gotten onto surfaces you don’t want treated (e.g., carpets). Replace the cap after each use so no one accidentally gets sprayed with neem oil!
- Add 3 tablespoons pureneem® Neem Oil to 1 gallon water; stir thoroughly until dissolved completely then pour into a hand sprayer such as those used for cleaning windows or floors – this makes it easier to apply without risking overspray from an aerosol container.*
Fortunately, you don’t need harsh chemicals to eliminate an ant colony. Neem oil is an effective ant repellant and kills the source of the infestation.
Neem oil is a natural insecticide that can be used to kill and repel ants. It is derived from the neem tree, which grows in India and other tropical regions. Neem oil has been used as a pesticide for over 2,500 years, but it’s only recently that it has gained popularity in pest control products due to its effectiveness and low toxicity levels.
Neem oil works by irritating an ant’s sensitive exoskeleton and causing them to die of dehydration. When sprayed on an ant’s body, it increases their metabolism so much that they burn up more moisture than normal—which eventually leads to death by dehydration if the colony does not leave water sources near them (such as your house).
Additionally, neem oil prevents new queens from developing because they cannot lay eggs without first being fertilized by males (who are killed when sprayed with this natural product).
However, neem oil does not kill ants instantly upon contact, so you may notice the ant problem for a couple of days after treating your home with this insecticide.

The good news is that neem oil is typically effective in eliminating ants within eight to 12 hours. However, you should still be prepared for some ants to remain for up to 48 hours after treatment.
To ensure that all of the colony members are eliminated or forced out of their nest and into another part of your property (or outside), it’s important to reapply the product every few days until no more signs of ant activity are present in or around your home.
Neem Oil is a non-toxic way to knock out an ant infestation.
Neem oil is a natural pesticide derived from the neem tree. It can be used as a repellant, but it’s also toxic to insect pests when applied directly. Neem oil is considered safe for humans, pets and plants since it doesn’t linger on the surface of a plant or animal and it won’t cause harm if ingested by humans or animals.
The best way to use neem oil against ants is by spraying it directly onto them—you can do this with a spray bottle or drenching them in the liquid itself (depending on how much you want to cover). While some ant species are more resistant than others, this method should kill most common varieties if you have enough patience and persistence!
Conclusion
As you can see, neem oil is very effective at killing ants. It is also much safer than other pesticides. Just make sure you do not use the pure extract on your skin or animals as it can be dangerous. The best part of using this method is that it leaves no chemical residue behind which will harm other beneficial insects in your garden such as bees and butterflies.
