- Wear a respirator, rubber gloves, a suit with long sleeves, trousers.
- Hold the bottle in the position of an outstretched hand at a distance of 20 cm from the surface to be treated. The greater distance results in the formation of a loose protective layer on the surface, a small one leaves gaps due to strong pressure.
- Initially, the nest should be processed if it can be detected.Then proceed to the floor, baseboards, window sills, furniture. The room should be processed completely.
- Leave the room closed for at least 2 hours. During this time, the poison for ants will be evenly distributed, will settle. After a time, air for about an hour. Wash in places where contact between hands is possible.
- The remains of the poison buried deep in the ground, should not be poured into the toilet, just under the tree. Send clothes to wash, take a shower.
The poison from the ants in the house in the form of an emulsion begins to act immediately. Most ants die already during processing. The rest within 2 weeks.
Insecticide clings to the legs, body, enters the body through the cover. Constant movement from room to nest leads to accumulation in anthill large amounts of poison. The death of the whole family comes. The larvae that have emerged from the eggs will not be able to feed themselves.

Aerosol disinsection
The poison from the ants in the apartment is produced in the form of an aerosol ready for use. To get started, you need to open the protective cap, shake the bottle. The composition has one or more insecticidal substances, but in concentration they are significantly inferior to concentrated lotions.
You can use the aerosol in the case of a small infection, or a known location of the nest. Otherwise, the poison will be ineffective. A too thin poisonous layer forms on the surface, which cannot cause fatal poisoning, but contributes to the development of immunity.
On a note!
Ants who received the minimum dose of poison become stronger. They are no longer affected by drugs based on this insecticide. To poison ants, it is necessary to use a stronger tool, or a preparation with another active ingredient.
Disinsection with an aerosol at home should be carried out according to the generally accepted rules described above.The only difference is that the concentrate is weaker; a mask can be used as a protective agent. To poison ants, you should carefully spray the nest or places where insects often appeared.
The most common means are:

- Raid;
- Clean house.
The smell of an insecticide is masked by the aromas of flowers and fruits. The room has a peculiar smell for about a week, but does not cause discomfort. Treatment with a poison should be repeated after 2 weeks to consolidate the result.
Poisonous gels
In a private home, ants can be located anywhere. Attempts to find an anthill are often unsuccessful or to get to uterus problematic. The destruction of the working class will have no greater effect. The ant colony is replenished daily with new individuals. In this case, the poison helps the ant in the form of a gel.
As part of the poison insecticidal component, flavoring to attract the attention of insects, flavoring additives. Unlike other variants of toxic agents, it begins to act not immediately, which does not indicate a low effectiveness of the gel.
Ants eat camouflaged poison more willingly natural food, bring it to the nest, feed the larvae, the uterus. Everyone feels good for three days. Insects, suspecting nothing, continue to poison the colony. A week later there is a massive death.
The poison is laid out with a dotted line in the places where the ants were seen, in the path of their trajectory, near the intended nest. Gel base is not afraid of sunlight, high temperatures. Retains toxic properties for 14 days. Update the trap as it eats or dries.

- Pyrethrum;
- Delitsion (Delicia);
- Fas Double.
They cause paralysis in ants and are effective against other insects, such as bedbugs and cockroaches.
The principle of action of the powders is as follows: an insect swallows the agent, or it independently penetrates through the outer integument, and then muscle paralysis occurs.

Boric acid begins to act when ingested. The rate of death depends on the activity of eating bait. The faster the required dose accumulates, the faster death occurs.

Boric acid can be used as a solution. Add to water, mix thoroughly, pour into a syringe, spray bottle. Treat the floor, window sills, baseboards, furniture, poured into small cracks.
