Chemical means to combat ants

Boric acid

Boric acid is an antiseptic that is a white crystalline powder. Chemical formula, H3BO3. Boric acid affects the functioning of the nervous system of ants. With a sufficient dose, it leads to paralysis and death of the insect. For humans in small doses, which are necessary for processing, it is practically harmless.

To combat insects, you can simply scatter boric acid powder near the entrances to the anthill.

Honey bait

Mix a hot 20% aqueous sweet solution with honey or sugar. Pour into a saucer and place in places where insects gather. Place sticks on the surface of the mixture so that the ants can easily reach them. Take care that pets do not get poisoned. Periodically replace the old fluid with fresh one. Most of the ant colony should die within 2 weeks.

Egg bait

Mix 2 tablespoons or 2 egg yolks with 1/2 teaspoon of borax (or boric acid). We prepare small balls from the resulting mixture and place them where ants visit most often.

Borax

Combining with sodium, boric acid forms a new substance, borax, which is no less dangerous for ants than boric acid itself. Due to their similar properties, they are interchangeable.

Borax sugar solution

To make the solution, take 2 tablespoons of hot water mixed with 1 spoon of granulated sugar and 1/3 teaspoon of borax. After the mixture has cooled, add honey. Update it daily to get maximum effect.

Glycerin bait

For 1 tbsp. add a spoonful of water, 2 teaspoons of glycerin, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1/3 teaspoon of borax and 1.5 tablespoons of sugar, mix everything thoroughly and roll the resulting mass into balls. The resulting bait can be placed where ants most often run.

Lime

To rid trees of ants, it is necessary to treat their trunks with a high-percentage solution of lime so that it covers not only the trunk, but also the ground around it. And don’t forget, as already mentioned, about digging the soil with the addition of lime.

You can radically combat ants by using pesticides. The industrial poisons that are most often used to treat summer cottages against ants include the following chemicals. preparations that contain, in different doses, the active substance diazinon. This is an organophosphate compound that affects the nervous system of ants and causes paralysis. It is included in such preparations as “Muratsid”, “Muravyin”, “Anteater” and “Grom-2”. There are other chemicals, such as FAS-double, which are stronger and more harmful.

Ant-eater

This chemical will get rid of both adult and ant larvae. In the treated area, the ants are in no hurry to make paths and do not create new anthills. The period of protective action is at least 3 weeks.

Ant

Ant, a reliable chemical for controlling black garden ants. Granular insecticidal bait. It does not need to be mixed or diluted with water. Does not harm earthworms. The consumption of the drug is 20-30 grams per 10 m2. The period of protective action is about 3 weeks.

FAS-double

The old name of the drug is Phenaxin. Used against ants and cockroaches. Ant paths are treated with this powder. The drug consumption is 2 g/m2. Enough for 2-3 months. Holes are pierced in the bag in the indicated places and pollination occurs from it. FAS-double can also be diluted in water and sprayed onto tree trunks to prevent ants from reaching the final food base and aphid accumulations. If the drug gets on the fruits, they must be washed well before eating and the harvest itself can be harvested only 10 days after treatment.

Antiant

A modern means of combating ants on the ground. Powdery mixture, which belongs to the 4th hazard class. Does not harm other insects. Scatters into places of accumulation and movement (ant paths). There are two main active ingredients: Cypermethrin, 0.2% and Sumition, 0.2%. Enough for 10 m2 and has a long residual effect (7 weeks).

Composition and principle of action

The effectiveness of the product is due to the active ingredients:

• es-fenvalerate;
• zeta-cypermethrin;
• piperonyl butoxide;
• inert filler.

The first substance, es-fenvalerate, is an insecticide from the group of neurotoxic poisons. When it hits an insect, it disrupts the transmission of nerve impulses, causing the ant's almost immediate death. Cypermethrin is a contact and intestinal repellent. Effective against adult flying and crawling pests. The combination of these two components allows the drug to act for a long time. Another additive, piperonyl butoxide, enhances the work of poisons several times.

Application

"FAS-Double" is effective against all types of ants - garden, forest, house ants.

Premises treatment

For insecticidal treatment inside apartments and houses, it is necessary to pierce the packaging according to special marks. Next, pressing on the bag, sprinkle the dust in places where pests accumulate. Since ant nests are very often inaccessible, as they are hidden under the floor, behind tiles, in walls, ventilation shafts, you need to carefully treat the paths along which insects move. This will allow the smallest particles of the drug to reach the maximum number of ants.

The powder is left for 3-6 hours. Then easily accessible places and surfaces are thoroughly washed with a soap-soda solution, and where people or animals will not come into contact with the product, the repellent is left for up to 8 weeks.

Since dusts are effective only against adult ants and do not affect eggs and larvae, it is recommended to repeat disinfestation after 10-14 days.

Processing of personal plots

To treat gardens and vegetable gardens, the package with pesticide must also be opened in special places. When pollinating the ground, flowers, tree trunks, and other surfaces with the preparation, special attention should be paid to ant passages and the anthill itself.

In dry weather, the pesticide remains effective for 2-3 months. After heavy rain, the product can be washed off. Then the processing should be repeated.

“FAS-Double” for ants is available in 125 gram bags. The recommended powder consumption is 2-3 grams per 1 square meter.

Before using the product, be sure to read the instructions and calculate the required number of packets.

Anti-ant powders and granules

This is the most popular and frequently used group of insecticidal preparations for ants and other insect pests.
The action of these drugs is based on the contact-intestinal principle - the drug destroys ants, both when they come into contact with the pest and when they eat the bait.

These ant repellents work on the "epidemic" principle - the ants bring bait to the anthill and feed all the ants, which leads to infection of the entire colony.

As bait, you can use a paste obtained by dissolving granules or powder with water.

The death of ants is observed within 2 days. The consumption rate is about 3-5 g. per 1m2

Hazard class – fourth. The waiting period before harvesting is up to 3 weeks. Release time for manual work is 3 days.

Advantages and disadvantages

The anti-ant agent “FAS-Double” has a number of advantages, but there are also some imperfections.

Why are anthills dangerous?

The ants themselves are not dangerous to humans, they do not carry diseases, but they like to build their homes next to cultivated plants. Everyone knows that these insects have a special weakness for sweets. It happens that spilled sugar can lure a colony of ants into the house. That’s why their homes are so often found under apple, cherry, and strawberry trees. Each fallen fruit contributes to the growth of the colony.

But that’s not all - ants and aphids are truly “best friends.” They spread this insect and hide it for the winter. And all because aphids secrete a sticky substance, which, again, is sweet. And aphids are already causing more significant damage to cultivated plants.

Why else would you need to know a way to get rid of ants? The fact is that ants, while building their tunnels and homes, store various seeds of weeds and cultivated plants, which contributes to the appearance of excess grass on the site.

Another harm from ants is that their tunnels damage the root system, especially young seedlings, which leads to their death.

There is a lot to talk about, but it's time to move on to action. Let's see how to get rid of ants in the garden forever using folk remedies.

Additional tips and tricks for use

When using the drug “FAS-Double” against ants, you must follow the instructions printed on the packaging. But some buyers who have successfully dealt with insects using this repellent advise additionally, if there are no small children or animals in the house, to make baits. To do this, you need to mix the powder with boiled yolk, vegetable oil or mashed potatoes and spread it in places where ants appear.

When cultivating a personal plot, it is advised not only to spray dust in the habitats of ants, but also to scatter it around the perimeter, creating a barrier for unwanted “guests” from the outside.

“FAS-Double” is a product from a Russian manufacturer that has proven itself excellent in the fight against ants. It is also chosen for its affordability, availability in most hardware and gardening stores, and the ability to purchase via the Internet. If you follow the recommendations, the drug will quickly and safely solve the problem with ants, both in the apartment and in the garden.

Super front and front double: difference and benefits of application

Super face - dissolves in water. Sold either in powder form or as tablets. The drug contains cypermethrin and thiamethoxam. The active substances destroy insects of all types and forms, even used in agriculture. Less toxic to living beings (birds and animals), but when bedbugs enter the body, super face leads to a complete disruption of nerve impulses, after which the death of the insect occurs. Unfortunately, super face cannot destroy bedbug egg laying. The destructive effect of the drug is aimed only at adults. Because of this, it is necessary to treat the room with super face not just once, but several times. On sale there are packages of at least 10 g, and up to 1 kg. Reviews about the super face against bedbugs are only positive. Another advantage is that each package (regardless of the weight of the substance) contains instructions for use.

The front double works a little differently. This is a powdery insecticidal substance. It has a second name - dust, although the face from bedbugs is completely different from it. It is based on cypermethrin. This is a synthetic substance that is similar to natural pyrethrum. It is obtained from chrysanthemum. Has a long lasting effect. It acts like its brother Super face: it penetrates the nervous system of bedbugs through either the chitinous membrane or the digestive tract. Next, complete paralysis of the insect and death occurs.

The drug is called universal, as it destroys all parasites in the house and in the garden. Very easy to use:

• prepare the entire surface for processing;
• We put on rubber gloves and clothing for protection, do not forget to put on a gauze bandage so that the product does not get on the mucous membrane;
• we make punctures in the marked places on the packaging;
• Gently spray from the packaging onto the areas where the insects are located.

The double is applied equally to the back wall of the furniture and nearby surfaces (plinth, floor, cracks and walls). Treat carpets and rugs especially carefully, as bedbugs will try to leave the place where the drug is located.

Fas powder is used not only for treating residential premises, but also in enterprises where there is bedding: hospitals, hostels, hotels, etc. There is no more profitable and simpler method, and moreover, an effective one. Reviews left by customers who have encountered problems such as blood-sucking parasites confirm this fact. Thanks to the double front, migration of insects is not possible even between rooms. Such positive results speak in favor of the drug.
