To get rid of ants effectively, start by identifying the source of the infestation. Track where the ants are coming from, such as cracks, walls, or windows. Next, thoroughly clean the area by wiping down surfaces with vinegar or soapy water to eliminate their scent trails. Make sure to store food in airtight containers and clean up any crumbs or spills that might attract them. Seal all entry points by closing off gaps, holes, and cracks using caulk or sealant.

You can also use natural remedies like a vinegar and water spray (mixed in a 1:1 ratio) along the ant trails. Alternatively, lemon juice or peppermint oil can be effective, as they disrupt the ants’ scent pathways. Setting up ant baits is another good method—use commercial products or make your own using sugar and borax, which the ants carry back to their colony.

If the infestation is more serious, apply ant killers such as sprays, powders, or granules. Finally, for large infestations or if DIY methods fail, it’s best to call a professional pest control service like Home Guru Pest Pro to ensure complete and lasting removal.
