Getting Rid Of Ants The Safest Way
Ant season is on the horizon.
As the ground warms up in the spring, ants who have been dormant in the earth during the colder weather warm up and come to the surface. Queen ants fly off to find new nesting areas…and before you know it, ants are back in our world.
While ants play an important roll in the ecosystem, it is no picnic when they become pests in our world.
But all too often, when people have a pest problem they run to the store and buy a can of toxic pesticide, come home and spray the pest.
Whoa! Let’s step back and take a look at handling ant problems using a least toxic approach.
Perhaps I should first define “least toxic approach.” This term means you try to solve the insect problem with the least toxic material. If that doesn’t work, then you try something a little toxic but not as toxic as poison. You keep trying to solve the insect problem using progressively more toxic substances until you find something that works. Using this approach, the solution to your insect problem can range from doing nothing to spraying toxic insect killer, if that is the only thing that works.
Why should you bother with a least toxic approach? For one thing, studies are beginning to reveal the serious side effects of the overuse of toxic pesticides in our environment.
Did you know that evidence suggests a risk for some types of cancer and even genetic damage from exposure to pesticides?
And perhaps worst of all, children are especially at risk.
Why wait until science finally makes a direct link to damaged genes and pesticides? By that time, the damage could already be done to your genes and those of your children.
You can help protect yourself, your children and our planet by doing your part to be a good steward of our environment right now. One way to do that is to adapt a least toxic approach to pest problems…and that’s what our article series on getting rid of ants is all about.
I need a good home-made, non-toxic, organic ant killer for my room, please help?
I come upstairs to my little room, start playing on the computer. Maybe my room needs some light, so I pull up the blinds and what do I see? About 20-30 ants no doubt!
What is a good ant killer that is natural, organic, and made of common household items?
I cant really go anywhere today, I dont think we have that here either….
*puts on imaginary to-do list*
It depends on if they are protein eaters or sweet eaters. I had fire ants which are protein eaters getting into my bed at night and I’m allergic to them. I don’t beleive in killing things either but when my health is at stake it just isn’t realistic to catch all the ants and put them outside. I found through trial and error that they hate chili peppers, the hotter the better. I sprinkled some ceyenne pepper on the window sill and haven’t seen an ant since. The sweet ants can be killed with instant grits. They take it home and when they share a meal with their buddies the grits swell when they get wet in the ant’s stomach and they pop. I’ve heard the boric solution but haven’t used it yet. Now I’ve got them in my vegatable garden so bad that I can’t weed anymore so I’m calling a professional ecofriendly exterminator.
