Here are some tips to get rid of ants:

  • Clean up any food sources and spills that may be attracting them.
  • Seal any cracks or crevices where ants may be entering your home with caulk or weather stripping.
  • Use diatomaceous earth or spread chalk along baseboards and around doors/windows as a barrier.
  • Spray ant trails and nests with an insecticide labeled for ants.
  • Place ant baits where you've seen ants to slowly poison the colony over time.
  • Plant mint, lemongrass, or other scented herbs near entry points which ants dislike crossing through.

Be thorough and patient as it may take a few weeks to fully eliminate an ant colony. Being diligent about not leaving out any food sources is key to prevention as well.
