Product Information

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! Unlike some other ant killers, Nippon states that children and pets don’t have to be kept away from the treated area, which is good news if you were concerned about either. However, as with all chemicals, it’s still best to keep curious hands and paws at a safe distance – just in case. Although the colonies are small, there can be several queens in each colony that are capable of laying eggs so numbers can grow fast. 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. 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?

Nippon Ant Killer Powder is one of the most well-known products for killing ants both inside the home and out. The Home Defence Ant Stop Granules are for outdoor use only, and can help with getting rid of ants on patios or lawns. As well as being highly effective against ants, Nippon ant powder can be used for many types of pest control. It’s also capable of getting rid of other crawling insects such as earwigs, woodlice and silverfish. If you’re dealing with some form of insect infestation, likelihood is Nippon can be of service. 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.Finding the nest, and treating it directly, is the most effective way to cause problems caused by carpenter ants. Common garden ants don’t have stingers and don’t bite. They are very fond of sweet substances, so using sugary ant bait is likely to lure them in. Carpenter Ants

Naturally, the formula is harmless to pets, people, other wildlife and the environment, too. If you want to be rid of ants without the killing, Nemasys No Ant is the obvious solution. 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. This powdered insecticide is very easy to use, coming in a bottle with small holes in the top – simply shake it out like talcum powder. It can be dusted along doorframes and windowsills, and any other crevices through which ants are gaining access to your home. You may decide that certain products are more suitable for use indoors or out – for example, bait traps are a lot less messy than spreading powder through the home. When to Apply Ant Killer

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. The bottle design can make it challenging to accurately get the powder into smaller spaces, but only a small amount needs to be applied successfully to help it be effective. There are options aplenty here. First, there are the natural “remedies” that ants are said to detest, such as cinnamon, lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint and garlic. Also, a 50-50 solution of white vinegar and water can help to repel ants. 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. The formula contains cypermethrin (CP), which is used as an insecticide in large-scale commercial agricultural applications, and as a result NOPE! CP behaves as a fast-acting neurotoxin in insects, eliminating your ant problem with almost immediate effect.
