How to get rid of ants naturally

Getting rid of ants naturally does not mean settling for a home remedy that works for an afternoon. It means using non-toxic products rather than synthetic pesticides, applied the right way so they actually break the colony. Here is how to do it without spraying anything harsh where your family and pets live.

Why natural works when you use it right

Natural ant control leans on two things: plant-based actives that kill and repel on contact, and a fast-acting insect powder that stops ants at the cracks they use. The mistake most people make is treating only what they see. Pair a contact spray with a lasting powder barrier and you break the trail and the re-entry at the same time. (More on the how and why: The best essential oils for repelling ants and What plant-powered insect spray really means.)

The non-toxic lineup

Six Feet Under kills ants on contact with plant-based active ingredients. Dust to Dust, our fast-acting insect powder, works like diatomaceous earth but kills up to three times faster. Puff it into cracks and entry points with the Insect Buster to create a barrier the colony will not cross. For whole-home coverage, prepare Barricade according to label directions, attach the sprayer and treat the perimeter.

Natural ant control that lasts

• Spray the trails: hit active ants with Six Feet Under and wipe to remove the scent.
• Powder the gaps: puff Dust to Dust along baseboards, thresholds and under sinks.
• Ring the home: treat the perimeter with Barricade prepared per the label.
• Keep it non-toxic: seal food and reapply Dust to Dust after cleaning.
