The easiest way to get rid of ants in the house is too remove their food source. Trash cans, crumbs, open food boxes etc. After removing their food source a simple mixture of soap and water sprayed onto the remaining ants will finish the job.

To get rid of ants in your house, you must first find where they're coming in from the outside. Once you find the source, then sprinkle either baking soda or cinnamon around that area. Ants do not like either substance, and will not cross a barrier made of baking soda or cinnamon. Voila! Problem solved!

Ants can be a very big problem in homes. There are different sprays you can buy but only work for a short time. You have to call an extermintor. Orkin.

Bits of edible particles should not been spilled on the platform. Use salt with little water sprinkled on top or sprinkle turmeric powder on the affected area. Use Medicinal chalks.

The best stuff I have found to get rid of ants is a product called Terro ant killer. You place it where you see ants and then you will see a trail of ants, they take it back to the nest and it kills the whole nest. Great Stuff!

Sprinkle uncooked grits over flat surfaces in affected areas. When the queen injests grit, it expands, causing the queen to explode. The rest of the colony will re-locate.

What I did one year after being plagued by ants in my house for quite some time was go to their house. I located them in a crack by the street and poured some bleach down their hole and wala no more ants period.
