Genuine issue here, does anyone have any good solutions to getting rid of ants?

Last time they started getting inside the house, but luckily they haven't reached that stage yet. I've tried those store bought ant poison pellets, and it seemed to have no impact. I've tried making some sugar water and borax solution and it did attract a bunch of ants to the baits, but it seemed to only get half the ants. So half the area is clear of ants (for now) but there is another stream of ants like a metre away that was unaffected.

Have also done something unknowingly but it actually stopped ants from my house l, I always look for their nest or hole and pour very hot water on it and when the place have dried up, I pour oil over it. Works really well

Just keep having cucumber at hope and slice small parts put on those affected areas because ants hate the smell.of cucumber so they will leave your house when having this vegetables in your house

And also BORAX  chemical.they hate also that so have it as well

The best way to get rid of ants is to sprinkle the yellow powder on the grill or in the shop wherever the ants are applied You will benefit greatly from it There will not be an ant and everything will be gone Ispre will do much better than this.

wow i have not known this that Borax can Get rid of Ants?i have been using this for my wooden Pool but not even try to use for this problem because i always try to find the roots in which the Queen.
Anywhere that has vinegar and clove is heavily avoided by ants. If you put a few cloves in your food pantries and you won't see them roam in your crackers & sweets.
and also Cucumber Mate,every place that there is cucumber ants are not present.

Chemical sprays do much better work than just water and sugar.
The problem is that they are chemically created. Try keep your house clean from dirty dishes and scrambles on the carpet or the floor.

actually all you need to do is find the Queen ant because she is the reason why those army ants are busy providing for her foods and security.

or better find exterminator because that is their expertise ,i remember when i was young my grand father use to bring me hunting the queen ants and twice that we successfully find them.

I think you can call a special service which takes an ant , or buy a special tool and always do preventive maintenance against them

Special service - right decision. Because they have a licence to buy strong and toxic chemicals. And since it toxic/poison, I'd better do the job with someone hands  Cheesy

I had ants in my flat once. No powder, rat poison and other stuff that can be bought in a local shows helped me.
To get rid of them I have call a guy from local advertisement site. He sprayed all the floor, furniture with Citrometrin. Not sure that you can buy that on your own, but I advice looking for a service that can spray your flat with that.

He spent about 15min spraying 3 bedrom flat, then I opened all the windows for 2 hours. After that I havent seen ants since 2017.

I've googled a bit. Here is the hint link if you want to know more about this insecticide.

Don't think this can be solved, they are everywhere, different kinds.
Get rid of them but with great difficulty.
There is a lot of medication to eliminate.
I found them in my house.

You've got my attention to the topic because ants already at my bedroom and I don't know where it came from. Maybe because of an old wood or plywood there. I think it has already termite inside.

There is a reason why ants are visiting you house and that's because you have food left behind and they are more than happy to take it. Make sure to keep everything very clean, not leave any trash behind or where they could reach it and you should be fine. If you still have a problem with them the best thing to do is call a specialized company to take care of this, the sooner the better.

Getting rid of ants is so easy. You just need a powder to do so. Try to use powder in the area where you mostly see your ants are climbing.

In my house I had this problem, and I did not realize, they attacked me at night while I slept, and I got up at 2:40 am with all the sleep and with bites, the best thing that occurred to me was to look for Kerosene and throw them out, they were exterminated at once, another option if you do not have Kerosene can be gasoline, because they are very strong liquids that can not tolerate them and do not get close there.

You should probably call for professional help.

What are the options for this problem that doesn't involves professional help tho?

Well if the situation isn't that bad, may be you should just keep your kitchen clean so ants won't go around. Or you could try a mix of sugar and borax to kill off those nasty ants. You can also use citrus fruits especially lemon as a cleaning solution. But if you want to beat them like an hunter, follow their tracks towards the nest then try every mixed solution that internet offers to beat the colony especially the queen ant. Now it sounds like an adventure in an online game. But I recommend that you shouldn't often use insecticides or pesticides because if you didn't beat them at first use, they will get used to the chemicals.
