Expert Ant Control Services, What You Need to Know - Finley Pest Control

Depending on the sort of ant infestation that you have in your home, you may wish to try the following home remedies to help control the ant infestation prior to calling us:

Ants have a strong sense of smell which can affect their behaviour and the way they interact with each other. So, you could mix baking soda with sugar as an attractant and lay it near the ant’s nests in your home. Usually, the ants die after consuming this and all you then need to do is run the vacuum cleaner to get rid of the remains!

Ants do not have an affinity for copper. So, you could empty your piggy banks or coin purses and just leave some copper coins near the ants’ nests to deter them from spreading.

Be sure to look for any cracks and crevices on windows, doors and walls in your home and block these using adhesive barriers, or even chalk, to prevent ants from entering and building nests.

If the ant nest is small, you could physically remove the ants nest from your premises by placing a container filled with some wool or straw on the nest and then tipping the container now filled with the nest in a wide space, such as your garden or a grass area.
