It’s time to take a closer look at how we can manage ant populations without the use of potentially hazardous substances. Unlike some other ant killers, Nippon states that children and pets don’t have to be kept away from the treated area, which is good news if you were concerned about either. However, as with all chemicals, it’s still best to keep curious hands and paws at a safe distance – just in case. This insect killer spray has a long-lasting residual effect, continuing to work even after the initial application. This ensures effective control of ants and other crawling insects and prevents future infestations.

If you want to completely get rid of the ants in your lawn you need to target the source. In other words, the nest.

In the hope of trying to avoid cons like toxicity, homeowners may prefer natural approaches to ant control. Some natural methods include treating with borax, applying diatomaceous earth, and pouring boiling water down the anthill. Firstly, they're designed specifically to target and eliminate ants. While natural repellents might keep ants at bay for a while, they don't actually deal with the root of the problem: the colony. Ant killers, on the other hand, are formulated to attract and eliminate the entire colony, ensuring a long-term solution to your ant woes. On uncultivated land, boiling water can be poured into nests. In cultivated areas, cold water can be used instead. This won't kill the ants but it will create damp conditions which they don't like and will encourage them to move elsewhere. This is a solution if the nest is accessible, but if it's buried beneath a paving slab, the water may not reach the nest.
