Home Remedy for household ants. They have traveled from Linen closet to the guest closet. They dont bite?

Answer 1

Here is a tip I received only about a week ago. I don't know if it works but certainly is worth a try. Sprinkle the contents of packets of NutraSweet or Equal wherever the ants are either inside the house or in the yard. Aspartame is the artificial sweetener and supposedly was originally developed as an ant poison. Outside you may have to lightly sprinkle some water on the Aspartame and inside for small black ants you may have to mix with some apple juice. But try it dry first. It supposedly works on all species of ants including Fire Ants and works fast too. Good Luck!

Answer 2

Hairspray. I had an ant problem years ago and called an exterminator, he told me that hairspray actually works better than any poison they use. I've used it since and it works great. No more ant problem.

Answer 3

peanut butter that is what is in an ant trap. put a tiny lid ie; beer cap or pop bottle cap full of peanut butter where yousee them and they will soon disappear. Also an open stick of juice fruit gum keeps them away

Answer 4

Are you looking for something to kill the ants or repel them. Ants don't like cinnamon, bay leaves, marigolds, white vinegar, chalk -- just to name a few.

Good luck ....
