Use this easy technique to get rid of ants for good (stock image) (Image: Getty) With ants at their most active at this time of year, we're all at risk of infestations in our homes and gardens. Although the insects are generally found under paths and paving slabs or in wood or under rocks outdoors, it is not uncommon to discover their nests in walls and fireplaces indoors too. Whilst many Brits swear by baking soda to kill off the pests, others have found it ineffective.
While baking soda can be a great way to ward off creepy crawlies, it won't attract all the insects or be carried back to the nest, meaning it won't fix your ant problem for good, according to Patio and Decking expert, Simon Wardle. Wardle, of Armstrong Cheshire , explained: "Many nests are hidden under paved patios, in cracks of decking, or in hard-to-reach places. So you need to find a way to get the poison to their nests, to kill off the entire colony.
My solution is to mix baking powder and sugar – which have similar look and texture – to attract the ants and then finish off the nest." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
