Doff Ant Killer Powder 400 g

Product Information

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.

Although the colonies are small, there can be several queens in each colony that are capable of laying eggs so numbers can grow fast. Using ant bait, as well as directly targeting the nest (identifiable by a soil mound) is the best ant killer method to help control an infestation of fire ants. Rather than poison the pests, Nemasys’ unique formulation harmlessly irritates ants to the degree that they abandon the nest and move away to a different area. It’s likely that you’ve done something (or rather not done something) to attract them. Leaving food out or not clearing up crumbs in the kitchen is an open invitation to ants, or you might just have too many tasty treats in your cupboards! While ants are a problem, it pays to keep all food areas spotlessly clean, and to tidy away potentially enticing foods into sealed containers. How do I get rid of the ants I have? 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.Buying a product which is versatile can save you money in the long run, in case you have problems with more than one type of insect. In the majority of cases, colonies will consist of just a few dozen predatory ants, although they can form colonies in which millions of ants exist. But don’t panic – if you had a million-strong colony on your hands, you would know about it by now.

First, there are the natural “remedies” that ants are said to detest, such as cinnamon, lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint and garlic.

But if you want to be absolutely certain of ridding your house or garden of ants, one of the professional products on the market will offer a more foolproof solution. April to September in the UK is ant season. The little blighters can get everywhere, contaminating food, biting and, most serious of all ant-based concerns, potentially playing havoc with your home’s foundations.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! For absolute peace of mind, we recommend a blend of bait stations and powders or sprays, just to make absolutely sure that you get every last ant, egg, larvae and pupae in one fell swoop, saving you having to repeat the process in the not too distant future. Whilst Ant Gone can is technically suitable for indoor and outdoor use, you’d have to think carefully about how to apply it inside if you didn’t want to drench your house (given that it’s a liquid).

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. When choosing an ant powder, one vital thing to keep in mind for pet owners is if the ant powder would kill the ants and be dangerous to your dogs, cats, or hamsters. There are several ant powders on this list that could be used around pets, or you could protect your pets by keeping them away from the ant powders until you clean up where you applied the powders after it has done its work of getting rid of your ant problem. 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.

Many ant killers can be used both indoors and outdoors. However, this depends on the ingredients they contain.
