Ants aren’t just an annoyance to you, they also pose a threat to your house. Ants have been linked to various diseases such as anthrax and typhus, so it’s best to prevent them from entering your home in the first place. Ant killers can repel ants from entering your home because they contain an aerosol designed to work instantly when misted onto an ant nest.

It’s important to use ant killers that are suitable for your regional weather conditions. When the weather is dry, ants are more likely to be attracted to moisture. But when the weather is humid, it will be easier for them to keep cool because they have access to water. You can avoid these types of situations by using an ant killer that contains a formula that filters out the humidity.

Luckily there is a range of options out there, with most commercial ant killers containing a poison that will kill ants and other bugs on contact. The most popular types are bait traps, which contain a sweet substance that the ants will take back to their colony, killing them all.

Other options include powders and gels that you’ll apply to cracks in your walls or floorboards- ants will then travel into these substances, spreading it out amongst their colonies though they won’t know what’s happening until it’s too late.

It’s worth noting that many ant killers are non-toxic, the idea being that you can use them in your house without worrying about harming pets, children, or even wildlife. It all depends on the type of killer you decide to buy.
