Old school way is put pandan leaves, especially surrounding the places you store your food at.

 

Works for mine so far.

I tried the golden hammer gel, also no use now. They avoid. Looks like my last resort is spray.

 

Someone say ants don't like talc powder. You may try putting them at entry points to your house.

The better powder I have added poison (borax) - terro ant powder

I throw them in ant's path. Then they disappear. But for a while, they come back somewhere else.

 

You might try to find some kind of ant powder at aliexpress.

Pandan leaf can repel ants?

That's the problem, they always come back. how I wish can find a way they never back. Currently spraying weekly with Bio X works for me.

This works for me recently...

I think abt $4 per pack..

I have no luck with baits. They don't take, I have tried granular and liquid baits all fail.

Bought this, bcuz I want to use it as a powder spray for termites inside wood.

Got some sweet stain left on the ground and the ants came.

I tried this spray powder on them and yeap they died.

 

The thing about powder is that you can leave it there and the ants on contact will die.

 

But you have to keep it away from small children and probably pets as well.

Just make sure frequent cleaning on the areas that the ants frequent visits. After a while, the area will be too clean for the ants to find anything there and will move.

Yes, cleaning frequently is important. Ants like to nest in areas that has minimized human activity, such as cupboards which are seldom used. But sometimes, ants just want to come in even though not due to food. They need to nest so that their clan is safe while foraging for food.

I believe every household sure to have ants hiding somewhere in the house de. Even they dont come out, if you spill any food on kitchen top or table, whole clan of ants would appear. Lol.

For many months, I see ants travelling along my corridor walls every week. I need to spray at the walls and my doorstep to prevent them from entering. Written to MP no response, he thinks ants small problem. But it's town council responsibility to take care of external problems outside our units isn't it?
