Step 1: Locate the Ant Nest
Search for Ant Trails: Worker ants travel in lines searching for food. On warmer days, watch for streams of ants heading in and out of a hole in the ground. This will likely be near their nest, often found in dry, warm, sandy soil under rocks, paving stones, or driveways.
Step 2: Apply Ant Control Products
Once you've identified where the ants are coming from, it’s time to start controlling the infestation.
Indoor and Outdoor Use: NO PESTS Ants Bait
How It Works: Place 1-2 cm strips of NoPests Ants Bait where you see ants. The worker ants feed on the bait and carry it back to the nest. This poisons the queen and larvae, reducing the colony.
Reapplication: Keep replenishing the bait until you see fewer ants. Remember, this bait doesn’t stain and must be reapplied after heavy rain.
Outdoor Use: NO PESTS X-It Ant Spray
How It Works: Use NoPests X-It Ant Spray on hard surfaces where ants are visible. The ants will carry particles from the spray back to the nest, impacting the colony. This product works within 4 days and is untraceable by ants once dry.
Additional Benefit: This product also works on cockroaches, making it a versatile pest control solution.
For Hard-to-Reach Spots: NO PESTS Sand4Ants
How It Works: If ants nest in areas like bark mulch, shingle drives, or long grass, NoPests Sand4Ants can be sprinkled over these spots. The sand reaches the base of these areas and targets the ants.
Safety: This product is safe around edibles and compost as it doesn’t affect plant roots.
Additional Coverage: After applying Sand4Ants, you can spray X-It Ant on top for added effectiveness. Sand4 Ants’ active life lasts for months, providing long-term protection.
Ant control is achievable with the right products. You can reduce or eliminate ants from your home and garden by identifying the nest site, using effective baits, and targeting both indoor and outdoor problem areas. The NoPests range provides practical, safe solutions for various situations, from hard surfaces to tricky garden spots.
