hi I'm Michael pH Enza with advantage
pest control and I'm often asked how do
I kill house ants fast and easy
well it isn't always fast nor easy but I
think I can help you out here all right
so house ants what are they doing
they're in there to feed right and where
they feed them it's either gonna be
sugars or protein all right so you got
to figure out what they're going for you
know put down something then some kind
of a little piece of sausage or
something like that some simple syrup or
candy and see what their feed man once
you know what they're eating then you
can go after them all right now the best
way to kill any ant over the long term
is the feet give them a bait all right
if you can get them feeding on a bait
you're gonna kill them off because most
ants the workers that you see they
actually can't consume what they pick up
they have to take it back and feed it to
the colony they feed it to the larva the
larva digests it and then the byproduct
from the larvae is what the queen and
the workers eat all right so you're
gonna kill off all the stages of the
colony now that's gonna work very very
effectively now is it gonna be fast no
all right so you want to make it fast
all right now you can use some
pesticides all right you can use all
different types of pesticides dust
sprays okay spray those and dust in the
areas where you see the ants especially
the trails between where they're coming
and going from to get to your bait all
right so you you're gonna kill them off
in the long term with the bait and
you're gonna get them traipsing through
the dust or the pesticide now if you're
gonna use this in the house make sure
you use something safe all right
and whatever you do don't use anything
that has a repellent in it if it has a
repellent in it they're just going to go
around it they're gonna go around your
bait and sometimes it causes them to sub
colonize and create new colonies that's
the last thing you want all right so
they're gonna be traipsing through this
they're gonna get it on their feet and
antennas they're gonna groom themselves
and when they do they'll adjust it and
that's gonna kill them off meanwhile
what are they doing they're carrying
back the bait to kill off the rest of
them so I think this will help you out
all right some of the good places that
you want to look
in the kitchen is around the edges of
the counters underneath the counter
along the baseboard and places like that
alright so if you go to those areas
you're gonna get them because that's
where they're traveling all right they
like to go along the cracks and the
crevices so I think this will help you
out
