How to Get Rid of Ants

Are you looking for information on how to get rid of ants? Nobody likes to deal with ants when your just trying to kick back and relax at home or at a family event. Part two of How To Get Rids of Ants will help you do just that.

Step 1: Don't try finding the source. Many people go on a mad rampage in the heat of an ant invasion. They think they can find the source of the ants and then stomp and step until they've done away with the whole colony. Within a few short days they're greeted with the thick black trail once again; it's hard to kill all of the ants. They are tricky little devils and will cause a lot of trouble if left unattended.

Step 2: Bring in reinforcements. For the first few days, you might want to guarantee the ants don't invade again by adding some extra protection around the dog's bowl. You can trace a line of liquid dish soap, a bar of soap or Vaseline around the dog's bowl. Supposedly, the ants won't cross enemy lines if these products are in the way.

Step 3: Clear away the trail. Once you've created or purchased a moat for your dog's food to be served in, you'll need to wash away the ant trail with hot soapy water. Although the ants won't be able to get across the moat, they might still find their way to the dog's bowl if you don't clear their trail. Luckily, ants aren't capable of finding their trail once it's been washed away. No GPS in ant land! There is nothing worse for your dog than to find a bowl full of Ants when they are trying to get a bite of food.

The steps above should keep your dog and his food from being invaded again. If ants continue to find a way into your home you can have peace of mind that they won't get near the dog's food. If you will follow the simple steps above you'll be well on your way to getting rid of those unwanted ants. Unfortunately, if ants continue to find a way into your home, they'll set their sights on something else, it might be time to call an exterminator! Since that can cost you hundreds of dollars it would be much better on your pocket book if you solved the ant problem before it gets to the point of calling an exterminator.
