I noticed the past days there were lots.of ants in some parts of the house. I've been cleaning a lot. But still they kept on coming back. Spraying insecticide is not always good though i did already and is not helping. Are there other ways u are using?

We spray them with baking soda mixed with water. It worked for us.

@chavezrmc I am not sure how many scoops of baking soda put in a glass of water. He did the mixture. I will ask him and get back to you.

To effectively get rid of ants in your home and yard , you need to include proper indoor and outdoor sanitation as well as an actual pesticide treatment to kill the ants which include a vinegar. You can use it ,spray to them .

my husband sprays ACV. It works but ACV is so expensive.

I have the same problem, as Spring arrives the ants come inside the house. I have bought commercial ants traps, I hope they work.

I had a big ant problem earlier and I had a pest guy come to spray the house. Right now I don't have a problem with them.
