No, no no. Too pricey and probably more toxic than this*tried and true* solution:

1. Find the mound.

2. Pour Gasoline into the hole.

3. Run like Hell.

4. Come back in a little while and snap photos of the ground covered by a layer of dead ants. That nest is now dead. You may also want to smash the nest so more ants don't move in after a season or so.

Ants prefer dry conditions so spraying with water will eventually cause them to move on.

How do you get rid of house ants with out hurt ing you if you are pregnant or have a new born in the house?

If you spray Orange Glo on them, it actually works to kill them if you have an attack and don't want the fumes of an ant spray. But if you want to permanently remove all of the anthills in your house, you will probably need an exterminator because most of them are in the walls.

Why do ants eat plants?

Ants steal other ants so that they will work for the conquering colony. young ants are like children and rather helpless and happy provided they are fed. the young ants get use to the smell of the new colony and believe this to be the norm. In short the young ants dont know that they were not born into the colony they are now with so act as if they were born there and work like other native ants in that colony.

How do you get rid of ants inside of your house?

The best way is to prevent them from getting in. You can do this by limiting the amount of food in open view and keeping the floors clean, even then it's normal to find some and you can easily kill them with a shoe or newspaper. I wouldn't recommend pesticides because they're toxic to you and those around you. If you're seeing a lot (hundreds) it would be best to consult a professional exterminator.


What should you feed your ants in your ant farm with?

Any ant you choose. I would prefer Black Ants because they are less aggressive. Although, if you like the adrenaline rush you can get: Harvester ants, slavemaker ants (You need another nest for these because they take larva and make them slaves, It also requires frequent larva to maintain itself, thus, i dont recommend them), army ants, fire ants and many many others. If you want a big nest use all of the adrenaline rush ants lol. I SERIOUSLY RECOMMEND BLACK ANTS DONT GET STUCK WITH THE AVERAGE 1 MILLION FIRE ANTS IN YOUR TINY JAR!
