Have you been searching for something to effectively kill ants? Well you have come to the right place. I’m going to share with you an easy home remedy that will kill ants permanently, using ingredients that you can find around the house. Ants are social insects that live in colonies. Most species eat other organisms, mainly plants and insects. They can cause significant damage to crops and create health hazards (e.g., transferring pathogens). They produce large secretions that act like digestive enzymes on the food they eat, have unique ways of escaping predators and can solve complex problems.
Natural Way Of Killing Ants
Use borax and powdered sugar.
To make the mixture, mix borax and powdered sugar together in a bowl or on a plate. Add about 2 tablespoons of each until you have enough for what you need.
Mix it up really well and put the mixture into a shaker jar or small container that can be closed tightly (like an old spice bottle). Use this to sprinkle around areas where ants are active.
When applying, make sure that you’re not getting any of the mixture directly on plants or other foliage as this will hurt them! You also don’t want to get any in your pets’ mouths, so keep some distance between their water bowls and wherever you plan on applying this solution!
Let sit overnight before reapplying if needed – although I’ve found that most times just one treatment was enough:
Spray ants with soap and water.
If you have a serious ant problem, spray the ants directly with soap and water. This will kill the ants without harming your environment.
This is a good method for killing ants as well as other insects that might be lurking in your home or garden.
Throw some baby powder on the ants.
Baby powder is an effective home remedy for killing ants. It works by creating a barrier between the ant and its food source, eventually suffocating it.
To use baby powder to kill ants:
- Sprinkle baby powder all around their nest or other locations you’ve noticed them frequenting. Repeat every few days until they are gone. If they do not go away after a few days of sprinkling, try another method described below!
- Be sure to keep pets and children away from the area while treating it with baby powder as this can be harmful if ingested by either species! If you have pets that sleep in your bed, we recommend using a different solution instead (see below).
Put a stick in the fire, then use it to kill the ants.
This is a very simple method to kill ants. You only need two things: a stick or log and some fire.
- Start a fire, then wait until the wood is burning well and hot.
- Use the stick or log to crush all of the ants that are on top of your home’s foundation or around your house’s exterior walls.
Use a lemon and orange peels.
If you have been facing ant problems, then you can use peels of lemon and orange to repel these insects. The acid in them acts as a repellent that keeps ants away. You can also combine this method with other methods mentioned above to help keep your house ant-free.
Use papaya.
Papaya leaves are a popular choice for killing ants. You can crush the leaves, mix them with water, and spray the mixture directly on your ants. You can also leave the crushed leaves out in a bowl near their nest to lure them there.
If you prefer not to use chemicals in your home, papaya fruit is another effective way of getting rid of ants. The smell and taste of this fruit repels them from coming back into your house. If you’re growing papayas already, this is an easy method that requires no extra effort on your part!
You can kill ants without using toxic chemicals
There are many ways to kill ants without using toxic chemicals.
- You can use borax, powdered sugar and water in equal amounts. Mix them well and spray the solution on the ants. This will cause dehydration of the insects as they cannot digest it.
- Soap and water is also a good way to kill ants. It suffocates them by drowning them in soap solution, making it impossible for them to breathe underwater!
- Sprinkle baby powder around your home or garden where you see ants walking about regularly; this will make their path slippery for them so that they can’t move easily around!
- Orange peels act like an ant repellent as they contain citrus oils which irritate their skin causing them discomfort – so keep some orange peels handy if need be!
