Natural Ant Killer - Eradicate Ants

   (Read 500+ times)
By Invisible Gardener

Natural Ant Killer
I developed this method of natural ant control while I was in the 6th grade. This system works! Yes, you will find copies through out the internet, (some even give me credit but many have taken it right from my book Natural Pest Control), but please realize that this information is the most current I have developed and use in my own Natural Pest Control Business and is not available any where else.
So if you are tired of looking for the Natural Ant Control System that really works,  you are here.....

Here some immediate things you can do now  to help you with the ant problem you are having.
I have developed many videos on this subject as well.


 Follow steps
Natural Ant Killer Step 1 For Immediate Relief Inside:
To control ants immediately use any Natural Castile Peppermint (or any other flavor like Lavender, Herbal, etc) soap. Add 1 oz to a gallon water or more (more methods are available to members). Spray directly on ants in the house. If they die then it is the right strength, if they do not die and get up and laugh at you then I would make it 2 oz per gallon and then try another different batch of ants and see what happens. Still not strong enough?    Don't fret, I have used 8 oz per gallon many times until they are reduced but remember that it is for immediate relief only.

If the soap doesn't work by itself, try adding a little bit of any natural Citrus cleaner.
          Start in the bath room and work your way towards the outside of the house. This will last for only a few days. You will have to spray daily in bad areas. Then switch to a Lavender soap or some other natural soap.  
Because it's a two way street we must try to understand why ants do what they do. While ants learn quickly, people do not. So don't be ashamed that it will take you and the ants some time to understand what you want of them and what they want of you. They are usually after food and water. So clean up after yourself. Don’t leave sugars and other foods around for them.   Sometimes a simple thing as cleaning up inside will be enough to keep the ants outside.

So Step One is learning what natural soaps and citrus  you can use that work against the ants. The main control is using something that has a strong smell to the ants which covers up their trails that they make.



Dances with Ants Using Ant Bait - 
Natural Ant Killer  Step 2 Immediate Relief Outside:
          Learning to use various natural soaps as a natural barrier 

          While the many types of chemical soap available at your local store can be used directly on the ants as an immediate aid in controlling them you would be better off if you used a soap made from natural ingredients. The many chemicals in the soaps are not good for you nor for the environment.

A preference of mine is mixing Natural Castile Peppermint soap and Natural Orange Citrus Cleaner . These can be mixed with water and sprayed directly onto the ants and the ant trail. The amount that you mix with water depends on what works. Right? So try out a small amount on the ants first and see what happens. 
Try 1 capful of soap and 1 capful of Natural Citrus Cleaner per gallon.
Doesn't work? Then try 2 capfuls each.
If the ants didn’t die then make it stronger.

 Citrus oils can be used outside and indoors! Use what smells good for you. Spray the soap around the outside of the house as well as inside to keep the ants out. Length of time that this will keep the ants away will depend on many things.. sometimes days but more likely hours. 
  

         Natural Ant Control Basics  

A few things you must understand...

          It is better to control the ants then to kill them all off.
   Just spraying soap or pesticides is not the answer to long term ant control I developed this system myself and have been using it since 1972 and know that it works.


             This is just an immediate tools. You will need to develop long term solutions if you wish to control the ants in your home and property.
