Vitax Nippon Ant Killer Liquid 25g

Product Information

While having ants in your garden isn’t too much of an issue at first, they can eventually invade your house – and they don’t tend to travel in groups of just one or two! In my case, I wasn’t sure where the nest was; however, there were a few places where the ant activity was more prolific, so I just poured a little pile of the granules in each of these places. Perhaps the most despised of the ant species in the UK is the fire ant. Red fire ants are distinctive to look at, and known to sting. Ant killer sprays usually contain Borax, a chemical which is considered safe for use around humans as long as the instructions are followed carefully. Ant Bait Traps Fire ants are quite common to find on garden lawns. They nest in small colonies (around 100 – 300 ants) in the soil.

Finding the nest, and treating it directly, is the most effective way to cause problems caused by carpenter ants.The following tips will help you find the best ant killer to combat ant infestations around your property: The Different Types of Ant Killer Although not so commonly found in the home, one of the main problems with a carpenter ant invasion is they can be quite hard to get rid of. The carpenter ant is much larger other ants like the common garden species. They can be around 0.5 cm long. If threatened, they can bite.

Although the colonies are small, there can be several queens in each colony that are capable of laying eggs so numbers can grow fast. These stations attract ants, enticing them with bait, and then transfer an ant-killer product onto them. The worker ants take this to the nest and it slowly kills the entire colony.While this is very easy to use and delivers fast results, the downside is that sprays have no effect on the ants that aren’t directly treated. As a result, this approach offers relatively limited pest control. It’s unlikely to kill all ants or get rid of the entire colony. Dealing with an ant infestation can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. A several-pronged approach is often required to really battle effectively against those insist ant armies. I used the Home Defence Ant Stop! Bait Station in my kitchen, positioning two bait stations at two different entry/exit points that I’d seen ants use.

Whereas some other products require decanting and diluting, Ant Gone only requires you to open the bottle and pour it straight over the ant nest. You can also use it on paths and patios when you can’t get to the nests. An effective dose is usually built-up within the colony over 7-10 days depending on the size of the ant colony and the frequency of ant feeding. As well as being highly effective against ants, Nippon ant powder can be used for many types of pest control. It’s also capable of getting rid of other crawling insects such as earwigs, woodlice and silverfish. If you’re dealing with some form of insect infestation, likelihood is Nippon can be of service. The Home Defence Ant Stop Granules are for outdoor use only, and can help with getting rid of ants on patios or lawns.Your first decision is whether to use a spray, bait station, powder or gel. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages. Spray The bottle design can make it challenging to accurately get the powder into smaller spaces, but only a small amount needs to be applied successfully to help it be effective. Nippon Ant Killer Powder is one of the most well-known products for killing ants both inside the home and out. You may decide that certain products are more suitable for use indoors or out – for example, bait traps are a lot less messy than spreading powder through the home. When to Apply Ant Killer
