3. Wear a respirator, rubber gloves, a suit with a long sleeve, trousers.
4. Keep the bottle in an outstretched position at a distance of 20 cm from the work surface. A greater distance leads to the formation of a loose protective layer on the surface, a small one leaves gaps due to strong pressure.
5. The nest should be processed initially, if it was found. Then proceed to the floor, skirting boards, window sills, furniture. The room should be completely treated.
6. Leave the room closed for at least 2 hours. During this time, the poison for the ants is evenly distributed, settles. After a while, ventilate for about an hour. Wash in places where contact is possible.
7. The remains of the poison are buried deep in the ground, should not be poured into the toilet, just under a tree. Send clothes to wash, take a shower.

The poison from the ants in the house in the form of an emulsion begins to act immediately. Most ants die during processing. The rest for 2 weeks.

The insecticide clings to the legs, body, penetrates the body through the cover. The constant movement from room to nest leads to accumulation in anthill a lot of poison. The death of the whole family is coming. The larvae emerging from the egg will not be able to feed themselves.

Aerosol disinfestation

The poison from the ants in the apartment is available in the form of an aerosol ready for use. To start work, it is necessary to open the protective cap, shake the bottle. The composition contains one or more insecticidal substances, but in concentration they are significantly inferior to concentrated lotions.

Aerosol can be used in case of slight infection, or at a known location of the nest. Otherwise, the poison will be ineffective. Too thin a poisonous layer forms on the surface, which can not cause fatal poisoning, but contributes to the development of immunity.

On a note!

Ants that receive the minimum dose of poison become stronger. They are no longer affected by drugs based on this insecticide. To poison ants, you will have to use a stronger tool, or a drug with another active component.

Aerosol disinfestation at home should be carried out in accordance with the generally accepted rules described above. The only difference is that the concentrate is weaker, you can use a mask as a protective agent. To poison ants, you should carefully spray the nest or places where insects often appeared.

Poison gels

In a private house, ants can be located anywhere. Attempts to find the anthill are often unsuccessful or get to uterus problematic. Destroying the working class will not give a greater effect. The ant colony is replenished daily with new individuals. In this case, the poison helps the ants in the form of a gel.

The composition of the poison is an insecticidal component, a flavor to attract the attention of insects, flavorings. Unlike other types of toxic agents, it does not start acting immediately, which does not mean low gel efficiency.

Ants eat masked poison is more likely than natural food, bring it to the nest, feed the larvae, the uterus. Everyone feels good for three days. Unsuspecting insects, they continue to poison the colony. A week later, there is massive death.

The poison is laid out with a dashed line in the places where the ants were seen, on the path of their trajectory, near the alleged nest. The gel base is not afraid of sunlight, high temperatures. Preserves the poisonous properties for 14 days. Refresh the trap as it is eaten or dried.

• Pyrethrum;
• Delicia (Delicia);
• Fas Double.

They cause paralysis in ants and are effective in controlling other insects, such as bugs and cockroaches.

The principle of action of the powders is as follows: the insect swallows the product or it penetrates through the external integument itself, and then muscle paralysis occurs.

Crayons have a similar effect, the most popular of which is crayon Mashenka.

Boric acid

You can poison insects with folk remedies. Acts as a toxic substance boric acid. It does not have a smell, taste, is not of interest to ants. But as part of the edible bait acts quickly.

• honey;
• cookies softened with milk;
• jam;
• crushed berries;
• egg yolk;
• sweet syrup.

Boric acid begins to act when ingested. The rate of death depends on the activity of eating. bait. The faster the required dose accumulates, the faster death occurs.

Poison blocks the transmission of nerve impulses, stops the work of muscles. Paralyzes. This is followed by imminent death.

Boric acid can be used as a solution. Add to water, mix thoroughly, pour into a syringe, a bottle with a spray. They process the floor, window sills, baseboards, furniture, and fill it in small crevices.
