Summer is the most intensive period of ant activity, and many families are plagued by ant attacks. Crowds, somehow coming from, thought they had been wiped out, I don't know where to come out of a pile.
There are two main things ants are looking for at home: water and food.
As a result, ants often appear in places such as toilets, bathrooms, and kitchen cabinets. No matter how clean you clean up these places, the ants will still appear.
There are a lot of ant baits or sprays on the market, but this method is also dangerous, accidentally eaten by children or smell what to do? Even adults may be allergic to this kind of thing. As the saying goes, killing an enemy of a thousand will self-deface eight hundred.
So, what is the best way to deal with ant invasion?
The first to bear the brunt, of course, is to put the most ant food where the ant is not easy to touch.
Ants like sugary and fatty foods best, so they can put them in sealed containers or refrigerators.
Make a ditch around your pet's basin so ants can't touch food through the water. Or put the bowl away from the house, and it's best to let your pet eat it all at once.
In fact, when we find ants, there is no need to panic, in addition to chemicals, we also have some natural products to use.
Ants don't like sour things, so use lemon or vinegar to clean up places where ants often haunt them, so ants don't smell sour.
Before the swarm of ants arrived, an ant usually reported that the signal was a path made up of chemicals released by the ants themselves, which could be destroyed with lemon or vinegar, so that no more ants would come.
Of course, if you can find an ant hole, it will be all the better to destroy the ant's home camp.
Ant holes can be difficult to find, consider building a "barrier", let ants dare not cross the Thunderpool half a step. Ants don't like chalk ash, baby powder, baking powder, and it's easy to keep ants out of the door.
You can also consider self-made bait, such as a mixture of borax and sugar or syrup. Ants will kill more ants when they move back these alluring foods.
Some people like to use boiling water to burn ants to death after they find their nest, but later they will see ants appear again. This is because the ant holes are very deep and the scope is large, so long as they are not completely killed, with their reproductive capacity, It doesn't take long to reappear. Some people even spend years fighting an ant nest.
After all, we have no ability and no need to completely clean up the ants, so be prepared for a long struggle.
