Ants are probably one of the most problematic pests one has to deal with. They’re basically like roaches since they do not require much from their environment which allows them to live almost anywhere and everywhere as they want. Ants live by their exoskeletons which means that they breathe through the holes in the different parts of their bodies. They are also insects that are even able to survive to be in the water, although there is a smaller type of ants that cannot do this kind of activity. To add, ants also multiply easily because they reproduce by batches that only takes 8 weeks on average to complete.
While there are a lot more other things that you can find out about what these creatures can do, we believe that it is more fitting that we let you know of the ways you can get rid of them for yourself.
Here are things to do as you wait for our team’s scheduled inspection and pest treatment day for you:
Peppermint Oil
Oil must be one of the most naturally used products to get rid of any type of pests at home. Peppermint oil has a very strong smell that is very unpleasing to small species such as roaches, termites, spiders and you name it – ants! The aroma seems to have a toxic effect on these creatures because they breathe through their exoskeletons which leaves them suffocated with the smells. You may also mix this oil with water and shake it in order to use it as a spray.
Baking Soda
Baking soda has a lot of different uses and one of the many ways you can use it is for pest control. As it turns out, this substance can also be used to repel ants from your home. Ants contain an acidic substance in their bodies that serve as their protection from a different type of threats. Baking soda, when comes into contact with this acidic substance in the ant's bodies, creates a type of explosion that kills the ants instantly. Now, in order to lure the ants to the baking soda, you may mix it with sugar to attract the ants to it. When they’re drawn into it, it wouldn’t be a problem anymore since they wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the two.
