Best Pesticides For Ants
Introduction
Ants are a bothersome problem for most people. They’re not only a nuisance, but they can also pose health concerns if left unchecked. The best option for getting rid of ants is to choose an effective pesticide. However, it can be difficult to choose the right product based on the type of ant infestation you have. In this article, we’ll give you some tips and tricks on how to deal with ants and review the best products that will help keep your home or business free of ants.
Wondercide Indoor Pest Control
Wondercide Indoor Pest Control is a natural, non-toxic insecticide that’s safe for humans and pets, so it’s an ideal choice if you’re looking for something to use in your home. It uses pyrethrum oil extracted from chrysanthemum flowers (and other plant ingredients) to ward off ants, roaches and other pests around the house.
It’s important to note that Wondercide can’t be used in conjunction with any other chemicals or pesticides; it must be applied directly onto the pests themselves in order for them to die off within 24 hours of exposure.
The effectiveness of Wondercide depends on several factors: how much water there is during application (extra moisture will dilute the solution), how long it takes for you to apply the solution after noticing an infestation (the longer you wait between treatment and initial discovery of new insects/ants/roaches etc., the less effective it’ll be), what kind of ants are invading your house (since different species react differently when exposed), whether or not weather conditions are favorable at first use (cold temperatures make everything harder!), etcetera…
Ortho Home Defense MAX Termite & Destructive Bug Killer
Ortho Home Defense Max Termite & Destructive Bug Killer is a fast-acting, broad-spectrum insect killer that can be used indoors and outdoors on hard surfaces. It kills ants, roaches, spiders and other insects when they come in contact with the solution.
Termiticide: The active ingredient in this product is chlorpyrifos, which will kill all subterranean termites (including drywood termites), ants and other pests for up to four months!
The pros of using Ortho Home Defense Max Termite & Destructive Bug Killer include:
- It’s easy to apply; no mixing required! Just spray it on the surface you want treated.
- There are no fumes given off by this spray so you don’t have to worry about inhaling potentially harmful chemicals while using it indoors or around children or pets.
- It’s safe around children and pets as long as they don’t taste it or get any on their skin/fur/feathers etc., which means you can use it inside without having to worry about escaping insects coming back home with them later on down the road (yuck).
For those reasons alone many customers highly recommend this pesticide because they feel confident knowing they’re using something safe around their loved ones without sacrificing effectiveness against unwanted pests either way.”
Advion Ant Gel
- The active ingredient in Advion Ant Gel is hydramethylnon, which works to target and kill ants.
- This product comes in a gel form that you apply directly to the mound.
- It’s water-based and nontoxic to pets and children, which makes it safe to use around your home without the risk of harmful exposure.
- You can purchase this product in 1.25 lb containers (the largest size).
Advion Fire Ant Bait
If you have an ant problem, there are a few options for you. You can use insecticides or other sprays that will kill ants on contact and keep them off your lawn and home. These products are effective in the short term, but they may not be as safe for children and pets as some people would like. If this is important to you—or if you want something that won’t leave a residue on surfaces—you might consider using Advion Fire Ant Bait.
This product is designed to be used indoors and outdoors to eliminate fire ant colonies throughout your yard. It’s easy to apply: just sprinkle it around where the ants live, wait two weeks until they consume it all, then reapply one month later if necessary (you should notice fewer ants after 2 weeks). For best results with this type of bait, make sure other food sources aren’t easily accessible so that only the ants eat it!
Terro T300 Liquid Ant Baits
Terro T300 Liquid Ant Baits
The Terro T300 Liquid Ant Baits is a liquid ant bait that is easy to use. This product can be used indoors and outdoors, making it ideal for most situations. It comes with an easy-to-use syringe for filling cracks and crevices where ants may hide.
To use this product you will need to fill a crack or crevice where you’ve seen ants traveling or entering your home with the liquid ant bait. It is important not to pour the liquid directly on top of an ant mound because they have been known to carry off some of the poison right back into their colony.
Here are a few pesticides that kill ants.
- Wondercide Indoor Pest Control: This product uses a combination of essential oils to kill ants. It also comes in an aerosol spray, making it easy to apply.
- Orthex Home Defense MAX Termite & Destructive Bug Killer: The active ingredient in this pesticide is permethrin, which is one of the most effective insecticides out there for killing ants. The only downside is that it can be quite toxic if you get it on your skin or breathe in too much of its fumes—so be careful!
- Advion Ant Gel with Borax: This gel contains both borax and indoxacarb (an insecticide), which help kill the ants you see and many more hidden ones as well! Just make sure you don’t let people or pets come into contact with any leftover gel; it’s very toxic if ingested by children or pets who may lick their paws after walking through it without realizing what they’re licking off!
- Advion Fire Ant Bait: Another great option is this bait that contains hydramethylnon (a chemical known to disrupt an ant’s nervous system) along with a sweet substance called sucrose octanoate esters—which draws them in while also killing them!
