How to get rid of Ants in your home???There are over 12000 species of ants in the world,they build colonies just like humans and are in a constant battle for space.Here are a few facts about Ants1.Ants have been living on the Earth for more than 100 million years and can be found almost anywhere on the planet.2.Ants build many different types of homes. Many ants build simple little mounds out of dirt or sand. Other ants use small sticks mixed with dirt and sand to make a stronger mound that offers protection from rain.3.Ants Build Cities large ant hills contain complex ventilation systems that remove carbon dioxide and bring in fresh air4.Ants are social insects, which means they live in large colonies or groups. Some colonies consist of millions of ants. There are three types of ants in each species, the queen, the sterile female workers, and males.5.Ants are the only animal besides humans which wage war in organized batallions, against other organized opponents.6.Ants do not have lungs. Oxygen enters through tiny holes all over the body and Carbon Dioxide leaves through the same holes.They are made up of 3 main parts. The head, the trunk(middle section), and the rear or metasoma. All six legs are attached to the trunk. The head consists of the jaws, eyes, and antennae.So when they invade our property they can cause havoc,as they will use our food supply as their own.How to we get rid of them???I added a few methods which work in my own experience.1.Ant powder or talcum powder/baby powder.This method is the one which in my experience works the best. Because the ant breaths through holes in its body the powder clogs the holes and eventually kills the ant,the ant also takes the powder back to its colony and affects other ants with the same process.Add powder to floors and next to walls leave for a week and it will get rid of your ant problem. Please be aware that ant powders can be poisonous so be very careful using this near young children and pets.2. Another home remedy to kill ants is to mix boric acid and sugar together into a paste, about one tablespoon of boric acid to a cup of sugar.Drop the paste near where you saw the ants,they will eat the poisonous paste take it back to the nest and infect the queen hence wiping out the colony.3.Black pepper is a nonlethal, poison free, cheap, and safe way to get rid of ants - sprinkle the black pepper where you see them congregating and watch them run. Follow them to where they're exiting - which is the same spot they're entering in at - and sprinkle the pepper at that spot to keep them from coming back in. It's safe to use in your cabinets, on windowsills, near your pets and kids, around food.4.The main reason why Ants return to your home is because of a food source,make sure you remove crumbs,food,sugar and other sweet edible foods like cereals from your units,and wipe down so everything is clean.thank you for reading my post please leave a comment.
