How To Kill Small Ants
The first thing you need to do is identify where the ants are coming from.
The first thing you need to do is identify where the ants are coming from. This is important because you’ll need to find out how they’re getting into your home and block their entry points if possible, thereby preventing future ant infestations.
If the ants are coming from inside your walls or foundation, find out what kind of opening they’re using as an entrance by using this guide on how to find ants’ point of entry into a home.
Once you’ve identified where they’re coming from, use an ant bait gel (like Terro) that has been proven effective against small black carpenter ants and apply it around baseboards, door frames and window casings where you’ve found them entering your house.
Once youve identified their entry point, you’ll want to start spraying the area with a spray that repels ants and kills them on contact.
Once youve identified their entry point, you’ll want to start spraying the area with a spray that repels ants and kills them on contact. Spraying along baseboards and inside cabinets is a good place to start. You can also spray around windows and doorways (but not directly into them), as well as anywhere else where you have seen an ant trail or noticed ants in general.
Be sure not to spray near food areas or near children’s toys because these sprays may be harmful if ingested.
Next, you’ll want to use a gel bait that is irresistible to ants.
Now that you’ve lured out the ants, you’ll want to use a gel bait that is irresistible to them. Gel baits come in many forms, including liquid, granular, and pastes (which are applied directly to cracks in walls or floors). Gel baits are easy to use and can be used inside or outside of your home.
Ants prefer the sweet taste of sugar and will readily eat these types of baits when they find them. Ants may also carry these baits back to their colony for other ants’ consumption; this makes gel baits a good long-term solution because it helps eliminate entire colonies quickly instead of just killing off individual ants as they move about on your property.

Take your ant spray container and spray along baseboards and inside cabinets, as well as any other places where you’ve seen the ants.
If you have a spray that repels and kills ants on contact, then this is the way to go. However, if you don’t have such a spray, mix up some sugar water (1 cup of water with 1 teaspoon of sugar) in a small bowl and place it near where you think ants may be entering your home. The ants will be attracted to the sweet scent and will hopefully follow it into your trap. This method takes longer than simply spraying down an area but is still effective at repelling them.
Once you’ve found out where they’re coming in, start spraying along baseboards and inside cabinets as well as any other places where you’ve seen them crawling around.
While this is drying, place the gel bait wherever you’ve seen the ants.
Assuming you have an ant problem, it’s time to get rid of them. You need to find the nest and destroy it by pouring boiling water or using a pesticide spray. Then, use gel bait that is irresistible to ants. Place the bait in areas where you have seen ants. The bait will attract more ants, which will take it back to their nest where they’ll all die from eating it—and so will all of their friends!
Killing small ants can be done in just a few steps.
- Ant bait: Ant baits use poison to kill ants. Small ant bait can be found in the form of spray or granules, both of which are easy to apply and work well against small ants.
- Ant spray: Also known as bug sprays, this type of insecticide is a great way to get rid of small ants in your home. It’s important that you follow the directions on the label when using it, because they vary depending on what you’re spraying and how much coverage you need.
- Ant repellent: If you only see a few ants around your house at one time, you can use an ant repellent that kills them within 24 hours or less without leaving behind any harmful residue or odor. One popular brand is Terro T600Bf Home Pest Control Gel Bait—it comes in both 2-oz bottles and 4-oz bottles (but neither version will last long with all those little pests!), so make sure you don’t accidentally buy too much!
