Spray ant killer to keep these pests out of your garden.
Ants in your backyard may seem benign, but their nest building can create structural damage in trees and other woods. It is important to get control of these yard pests by spraying the appropriate pesticide. Pesticide will deter the ants from re-entering the sprayed area. To get rid of the pests successfully, you must locate the nest. Pesticide is poisonous, so apply it with caution around areas where children and animals play. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Locate the ant nest. Dab honey on an index card and place the card near where the ants are observed. After the ants have eaten the honey, they will head back to their nest, revealing the nest location.
2. Shake the ant spray container well before each use. Hold the container upright and turn the nozzle around so it faces away from you.
3. Hold the ant killer 12 inches from the surface.
4. Spray the ant killer along the ant trail, around the perimeter of your home and other buildings, into cracks and crevices in cement and in buildings, alongside windows and doors until the surfaces are wet with insecticide. Avoid excessive wetting of asphalt, rubber, plastics and tile.
5. Drench the ant nest itself with the ant killer.
6. Reapply the ant killer if the ants reemerge after two or three days, or as needed.
