Black ants - How to get rid of them in the house?

I used this whenever I see a line of ants in kitchen, especially near sink area.

Dot thin lines of gel along their path, taking care not to kill any of them. It seems they would avoid that path once a comrade is dead.

The ants would drink & bring the gel back to their nest to feed the rest.

They would disappear for 3 mths before re surfacing again. At least I get respite from their annoying presence for that period.

 

This stuff is available in NTUC.

 

My missus just bought a tube from there.

Well the ants congregating like mad around the three areas I put the gel.

Now to see if they take it back to the nest and what happens then.

See if this gel is as effective as the combat strip?

It worked against 2 types of ants in my house so far. Been using for 3 yrs +.

One type is small fast ones that move in a line. The other is bigger black ones that simply move crazily fast everywhere, no defined line.

There's no such thing as permanent eradication, just apply the gel when new generation appears.

I used it before, it's very effective.

Heard someone keep recommending Talon ant gel, maybe can try too.

Well all the gel gone and now no ants.

 

Maybe they're all back in the nest having a big feast.

 

But no ants around now.

The ant gel seems good.

Looks like I should buy one and try on my ants.

I have the terro also, but sometimes it works, sometimes not.

 

I got another problem with termites, but they hide inside the wood, and only push out their shit through a tiny hole.

I just bought a bottle of terro as a stand by in case future ants come. Hope it works like what most people claimed.. but my own experience with the ant gel is good, all ants killed after using it more than two years ago. This time I used combat strip because I don't have any ant bait in my home, so got a strip from neighbor and so far no ants since Sat.

 

By the way, how do you know you have termites?

My ant problem persisted. They are now coming out of the wall of my toilet. I put terro one drop, they came after a few minutes. Losing the battle.

Last night I put one drop of terro, ants came to eat. But today 12 hours passed, still see ants walking about. So I put two more drops. This time the ants seem disinterested. They just walk past the two new drops!

 

What should I do? Wait it out? Try new bait? Or spray at the hole?

I have used Golden Hammer ant gel and it is better than Combat ant bait. The ants doesn't seem to like Combat bait. For the ant gel, you get many ants congregated very fast feasting on it and transporting back to the nest.

 

Or you all can try Chaindrite spray :)

If all else fail, move out...or smuggle in an ant eater.

 

Those disinterested ants must be from their NEA or AVA...to check out what causes mass diarrhea in their colony.

I heard so many people raving about terro. But not sure if it's working or not. The ants did eat last night, but now they avoid. Will those ants that have eaten the gel start dying ao now the rest will avoid?

For combat strip, the ants just ate and return to their hole. Next day I don't see anything around. But terro, I still see ants running about.

I put Golden hammer ant gel, the ants avoid too. What is happening..

They seem to change route too, away from the terro baits.

Looks like they had been alarmed that these are poisons.

Cham already, what to do now? Spray?

I think for ant bait to be effective, they cannot die immediately ... they have to bring the bait back eat and only take effect 24-48 hours later.

Problem is they avoid the bait, so no point waiting 24-48 hours right?

Actually instead of trying to kill all the ants.

Try not to let them have access to the food.

 

Alot of them come from outside the house.

Their nest we cannot reach.

 

My case i trace their route to my kitchen window then i put powder all alone the eldge on their path.

Then i Kill all the ants inside and keep the food.

Once they got no scouts inside your house and they got no route/smell to follow.

They wont come any more
