Hi. My name is Richard and I’m a level four pest controller. Today, I’m going to answer your questions about ants and in particular, how to kill an ant queen. First off, let’s go over a few basics: ants are social creatures that live together in large colonies close to their source of food and shelter. These colonies have a hierarchy of queens, males and regular workers with various jobs like foraging for food, building nests or caring for the young. There are a number of different types of ants which all have their own preferred diet and habitat. They include; carpenter ants, fire ants and even sugar ants! Ants can be a big issue when they decide to invade your home or yard. You might have seen small groups of ants in the past, and wondered why all of a sudden, you’re seeing hundreds, if not thousands of them. Why do ants come inside? What do ants eat? How can you get rid of ants? Those are all huge questions for any homeowner with an infestation. What does a colony of ants do when their queen is killed? I’m glad you asked. They release a chemical that smells like royalty and perform a “funeral” for the late bald-headed lady by carrying off her body, leaving behind a trail of royal pheromone.

How To Kill Ants Queen

Borax

Borax is a chemical compound with the chemical formula Na2B4O7·10H2O. It is an odorless, white powder that is soluble in water and has a bitter taste.

Borax can be found naturally occurring in volcanic ash deposits from the Uinta Mountains of Utah, USA.

Borax has many uses including:

• Food additive/preservative/buffering agent
• Household cleaner and cleanser for toilet bowls, sinks, tubs and tile grout lines (check out these great borax cleaning products!) A little borax mixed with vinegar to make an excellent glass cleaner! Just let it sit for about 20 minutes then rinse off with warm water & sponge! You can also use this homemade dishwashing liquid recipe using borax & washing soda instead of commercial dishwashing liquids which contain harmful chemicals like triclosan which can cause hormone imbalances in humans

Bait Stations

Bait stations are a small container that is filled with bait. The ants will take the bait back to their colony and feed it to the queen and other ants. The bait is usually a sweet substance that attracts the ants.

Talcum Powder

Talcum powder is a good way to kill ants queen. Talc is a mineral and the powder that’s used to absorb moisture, keeping your skin dry. It’s also used as an ingredient in many products, including baby powder and cosmetics.

When you use talcum powder to kill ants queen you should sprinkle it on top of the nest. The dust will seep down into their tunnel system and cause respiratory distress or suffocation within hours of ingestion by workers, leading them to die within days or weeks at most if they don’t leave the nest during this period (which they will do).

Cinnamon oil extract

• Take a small bottle and put a few drops of cinnamon oil extract and fill it with warm water.
• Shake the bottle well and spray it on ant hill or nest; this will kill all ants in the area within 24 hours and will repel other ants from entering that area again for up to 3 months!

Vinegar

In order to get rid of ants, you can use vinegar. Vinegar is a natural and safe product that is effective in killing ants. It also helps to keep them away when used regularly on your property.

Vinegar is an effective way to kill ants because it has a low pH level (3), which means it is acidic and therefore corrosive to insects like ants. The acidity disrupts their exoskeleton and kills them within minutes after contact with the liquid! In addition, the smell may deter other insects from entering your home as well!

Vinegar is an effective and cheap way to kill these pests because all you need is some white vinegar (5% acetic acid) that costs only $1 per quart at most grocery stores or pharmacies! You can also make your own homemade solution by mixing 1 cup of water with ½ teaspoon of soap flakes or 2 tablespoons baking soda into 5 cups boiling water then adding ½ cup vinegar until everything dissolves into solution before pouring into spray bottle(s).

Ants trap

You can kill the ant queen by using an ant trap. This is a container with a sweet liquid or bait, which the worker ants will carry back to the nest. Once there, it spreads to all of the other ants and kills them.

Ant traps are safe for use around food and water sources, but they shouldn’t be used indoors because they contain pesticides that could affect humans and pets who come into contact with them. If you do want to use an indoor trap, make sure that any pets or small children cannot reach it!

Sugar and dish wash soap mix with water

To kill the queen ant, you will need to mix together 2 cups of sugar and 1 tablespoon of dish wash soap with water in a spray bottle. Mix until all ingredients are dissolved and then spray into the ant nest using a sweeping motion. You may have to repeat this process several times or add more solution each time as needed until there is no more activity from worker ants in your home.

Peppermint oil

Peppermint oil is a natural repellent that can be used to repel ants. It’s not toxic to humans, but it’s highly toxic to ants, so don’t worry about the peppermint oil itself harming you or your family members.

You can apply peppermint oil directly to the ant colonies and they will avoid it. You can also spray a mixture of water and peppermint oil into cracks where you’ve seen ants entering your home. This is effective because the smell of peppermint makes them avoid coming into contact with it.

White vinegar, orange essential oil and cloves

Mix 1 part white vinegar, 1 part orange essential oil and 1 part cloves together in a bowl. Add the mixture to a spray bottle. Spray it onto your ant problem areas early in the morning or later at night when there is little wind and it’s warm outside (ants are more active then). It may take up to 2 weeks for this solution to work.

These are some methods to kill ants queen. Some of them for outdoor and others for indoor.

• Boric acid is a common ingredient in many ant baits. It’s safe, but it can be harmful to small children or pets if they ingest it.
• You can also use a bait station to kill ants queen and their colonies quickly and effectively. Place the bait directly into the opening of an ant colony or along their trail if you see any. For outdoor use only!
• Talcum powder is another effective option for killing ants queen and their colonies. Place talcum powder around your home and where you have seen ants traveling often, especially near doors that lead outside of the house or building where you live (or work). It works well as an indoor/outdoor deterrent against several types of pests including cockroaches and spiders too! Be careful not to breathe in too much dust from this method though; it might be best suited for adults only since younger children could accidentally ingest some while playing nearby.”
