How do u get rid of big black ants in your home?


There are bid black ants in my house and i need to get rid of them wat ways? I have 3 dogs so chemicals could hurt them.

My mom uses corn meal. The ants eat it and the can't digest it so it kill them. She put it in little pile on her counter and where they are coming in and it works. I also know of some products that works really well and they are safe to use around pets and kids. If you would like to know more about the products you can email me here on my profile.

buy an ant eater... get rid of the ants n it wont hurt tha dogs! good luck

you can get a spray to keep them out. You need to spray it around the door and window frames, eg under the cill and up the sides a bit.

Look at where cables come into the house, I had to spray around the telephone cable input. This won't harm the dogs.

Ants are looking for sweet things to eat. Keep the surfaces extra clean, keep your jam and honey in the refridgerator. If there is no food, they will go away.

you should use ant traps. there are ones called "combat" and your dogs cant get into them cause its only small enough so ants can get in. they have holes in them in which ants will go in, get the food, and bring it back to the queen. then more ants will come but then in a day or 2 they wont cuz the food is poisones to the ants and it kills them. hope it works out!

Cut them in half with some scissors

STEP ON THEM

Biologically by dropping vinegar on them.
