Often in our house and in the garden there are uninvited guests who immediately begin to feel like masters - these are ants. Their colonies are very numerous, which can be difficult to extract. If you do not apply the anti-ants in time, planting in the garden will be endangered, and in the apartment they can carry the infection, crawling in a trash can, then on a table.
Remedy for red and black ants in the house
In private houses and apartments, two types of insects are mostly settled. Red ants are very small and can live literally throughout the apartment - in the kitchen, in the bathroom , in the bedroom. Such an unpleasant neighborhood does not give anyone pleasure, because products accidentally forgotten on the table are now under threat, and even clean bed linens in the closet they can fool for a nest.
To combat aliens, a mixture of egg yolk, mixed with sugar, was always used, with the addition of boric acid powder. But it happens that this method does not work, because ants quickly adapt to all kinds of poison.
In this case, more radical measures will be required, namely, potent poisons from domestic ants. Unfortunately, many of them in the form of aerosols or liquids are highly toxic and can be harmful to both humans and pets. Therefore, it is desirable after leaving the apartment to leave for a couple of days.
Insecticidal gels containing poison are more effective than aerosol, since the insect does not die at once, but carries droplets of gel into the anthill, gradually poisoning the entire colony. The complete extermination will take about a week and the effect of the remedy is saved for about 3 months.
Black small ants live mainly in private houses and in the early summer the accumulation of their winged females, simply horrifies the tenants. To prevent active reproduction of the offspring, it is necessary to regularly poison the colony. From red and black ants will help such a tool in the form of an aerosol:
- Raptor;
- Combat commander;
- Rade.
Qualitative gels include:
- Globol;
- Fas;
- Storm.
There is another group of means that the population has become fond of in dealing with ants - these are powders and pencils:
- Pyrethrum;
- Mashenka;
- boric acid;
- borax.
In addition, there are modern traps with a toxic composition inside, which is inaccessible to children and pets (Raptor, Combat). But to hope for all sorts of ultrasonic devices is not worth it - it's money thrown to the wind.
Means of fighting ants in the country
Over the long years of the neighborhood of a man and an ant on a household plot, people have tried a lot of ways to ward off the hated insects from their garden and garden - some of them are very effective.
The means used from ants in nature are divided into chemical and folk. The former are more effective, but at the same time they are toxic to humans and can get into vegetables and fruits. In fact, simultaneously with the ants, it is necessary to destroy their source of nutrition - aphids, who occupied all kinds of twigs and shoots in the garden.
All ants love sweet, which means that this is the best bait for them. You can take honey, jam or sugar and mix them with boric acid, then decompose this mixture in places of insects.
Some gardeners and truck farmers practice pouring boiling water into the ant moves,
It is noticed that garden ants do not tolerate the smell of urine, because some experimenters fill it with ant mink. Another original, but effective way - to scatter in the trunk circles and on anthills manga or millet. It's unclear for what reason, but after a while the entire colony moves to a safer place.
Whatever you decide to process your garden or apartment, keep in mind - it will be 3-4 months and the ants will return again, and therefore it is required to do several preventive treatments within a year.
