<\/div>

Ants and termites are common pests found in a lot of homes. The thing about them is that often, you don\u2019t just find one or two of them, but a colony. Not only are they unsightly, but they can be harmful too. While ants carry bacteria like salmonella, termites can damage your wooden furniture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Found an infestation at home? Don\u2019t worry, here\u2019s how you can get rid of ants and termites.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Get rid of their food sources<\/b><\/h2>\n

The simplest way of eliminating ants and termites is to keep your house clean. Like all living creatures, they need food to survive. So one of the best ways to get rid of them is to remove their food sources. And this includes cleaning up the crumbs after eating as they\u2019re great sources of food for ants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You should also keep your food, especially the sweet and sugary ones that ants are attracted to, in sealed containers and bags, or store them in the fridge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Cookies<\/a>
Don’t leave your cookie jar open for the ants.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Note that ants aren\u2019t just attracted to what we eat, but what our pets eat too. So if you have pets, be sure to remove the pet bowls and wash them after they\u2019ve finished eating to prevent ants from gathering.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Termites mainly feed on wood, so try not to have too much wooden furniture and finishings. You should also get rid of rotten wood, timber, and mulch to cut off their food sources.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Keep your home dry<\/b><\/h2>\n

Likewise, ants and termites need water to survive and thrive in areas with moisture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So be sure to check for moisture from leaking faucets and pipes in the kitchen and bathrooms, and under the sink. Have them fixed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Opening your windows to ensure your home is well ventilated also helps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Use essential oils<\/b><\/h2>\n

Have small bottles of essential oils lying around? They might just be able to help you get rid of ants and termites.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, peppermint oil is effective in repelling ants. You can make a natural insecticide with it. Here\u2019s how to get rid of ants with it:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Mix 10 to 20 drops of peppermint oil with two cups of water.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Spray it on the areas with lots of ants and let it dry.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    However, avoid using it if you have pets at home. They can get sick when they\u2019re exposed to peppermint oil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Don\u2019t have peppermint oil at home? You can also use other types of essential oils like neem, citrus, tea tree, or cinnamon to make a spray.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    As for getting rid of termites, you can use orange oil and neem oil. They help to restrict their ability to shed their skin and lay eggs.<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Mix 10 drops of the oil with two cups of water and a couple of drops of dishwashing soap.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Spray it on the infested woods and materials.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      4. Seal any cracks\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

      Another way to get rid of ants and termites is to trace where they\u2019re coming from. They can enter from the tiniest cracks in the walls, floorboards, window sills, and door frames.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      Caulk and seal up as many cracks as possible to prevent them from coming into your house.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

      5. Vinegar<\/b><\/h2>\n

      Vinegar has a lot of uses. Not only can you use it to remove bacteria, but it can also be used as a natural insecticide. Here\u2019s how to get rid of ants with it:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Spray areas with lots of ants with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. Alternatively, you can use it when mopping the floor or wiping hard surfaces like countertops.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Even after the solution has dried, the ants can still smell it. And since they hate the smell, they\u2019ll get away from the area.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        You can also use vinegar on termites. Here are the steps:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        \"Three<\/a>
        Mix vinegar with lemon juice to make a termite killer spray.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
          \n
        1. Mix half a cup with the juice of two lemons.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
        2. Spray it on areas with termites. The acid will kill them.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
        3. Use it regularly to prevent termites infestation.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          6. Use boric acid to make traps<\/b><\/h2>\n

          Boric acid is a type of poison that\u2019s effective in getting rid of ants and termites. It kills them by shutting down their nervous system. So you can use it to make traps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          But use boric acid with caution. Keep it away from children and pets. It can cause nausea, vomiting, rashes and diarrhoea, so you should wear gloves when handling it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

          Here\u2019s how you can get rid of ants with boric acid:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Mix the boric acid with something sweet and sugary to attract ants, like maple syrup.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
          2. Spread the mixture on a flat surface, such as cardboard.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
          3. Place the trap in areas close to ant trails to lure them.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            It works on the premise that the worker ants will carry the bait back to the nest to help eliminate the colony.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

            Boric acid is used a little differently to kill termites. It doesn\u2019t need to be mixed with other ingredients. Here\u2019s how you can make a termite trap with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Coat or spray wood with boric acid.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
            2. Put the trap somewhere near an infestation.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
            3. Check the trap regularly and spray it with boric acid as needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Alternatively, you can simply spray termites with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

              7. Use the insecticide<\/b><\/h2>\n

              This is probably the fastest way on how to get rid of ants and termites. And probably the first thing you grab when you see an infestation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

              The good thing about using insecticides is that they can kill the pests fast. Plus, the ants and termites will bring back the toxin and transmit it to their colonies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

              But don\u2019t use it too often as it can irritate the eyes and skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
