How to get rid of ANTS [MERGED]

Kadalasan ng mga electrical wiring gustong pamugaran ng langgam . Kerosene kadalasan pwedeng gamitin kung tipid mode at DIY na lang para menos gastos .Spray rin gawin mo.

Sir Miked, Sir Speed Unlimited,

Thanks for all your suggestions/advices. So far its been almost a month already and cant seem to find any ant anymore. So far what I did is I sprayed a little amount of insecticide in the interior and frequently on the area where my wheels sets on the floor (which is where i think the ants used to climb). I also tried thoroughly cleaning the interior, specially the under carpet areas and so far it's been successful.

Thanks for all your suggestions and tips, Chiefs! More power!

Reviving this thread...

What are the available ant killer products (aside from insecticide spray) that can be bought in stores around metro manila?

How much would it cost?

yung bayaw ko when he used to breed birds, meron siyang binibili sa poultry supply yung white wash or birdwash? powder yun tapos imix sa tubig.
spray niya sa wall at cages, nawawala yung langgam.
yun yung nakikita kong ipinanliligo sa mga fighting cocks. cheap lang yan master gh.

sa mga arthropods ko naman noon para hindi attack ng ants, pinalilibutan ko yung container ng petroleum jelly or vaseline.
pero pag gutom sila pipilitin talaga nila. kaya minsan futile!

dad tested this a week ago. mix confectioner sugar ang baking soda. place it where ants go. ants will eat it and bring it back to their nest. when the ants digest the baking soda, they explode.

our house has been antless since last week

di totoo yan.
gas in an ant's system will just dissipate. if not through its vent, through its spiracles.
san niyo nalaman yang sasabog na yan?

Ang gamit namin sa bahay ay 20:80 mix ng peppermint potpourri:water. Yung peppermint potpourri na binebenta sa SM department store so far ang cheapest kasi. We place it sa maliit na spray bottle, shake well before spraying sa ants (milky yung solution kasi oil will never with water). The ants die just like being sprayed with insecticide pero the solution is safe....kahit malapit ka sa mga kitchen utensils ka magspray, puede. Ang madalas na area kasi namin na pestered by ants ay ang kitchen at preparation area.

It still took at least 3months na gingamit namin yun before mawala ang mga langam sa amin. Spray lang sa ants at sa route nila whenever lalabas sila, what we noticed was that eventually, nagiging maliit na nag worker ants nila (siguro naubos ang mga adult workers kaya mga bata na ang ipapadala) to get food. Then after that mawawala na sila. Minsan babalik pero basta't regular lang namin iniisprayan ng peppermint solution, hindi na sila bumabalik. Its either the queen starved to death or they migrated some place safer.

Sa amin madami din ants last month. Pati room ko pinupuntahan ng ants. Ang hirap kasi kailangan talaga hanapin yung queen para pataayin. Subukan ko yung solution ni Phoenix. Saan sa SM makakabili nung peppermint?

Won't the ants just fart it out? Just like cows and us humans?
