Contacting a pest control professional is the most effective way to eliminate small black ants invading your home.

You can naturally get rid of carpenter ants by using sugary bait placed near their trails to and from the nest. When a worker ant finds the bait, it brings it back to the nest, distributing it to the queen, larvae, and other workers. Typically, a colony will die within a few days from these treatments. However, natural pesticides may not eradicate an entire colony unless applied correctly. A pest control professional can help administer these baits for the best results.

Using common household items like vinegar to kill ants isn’t an effective method for eliminating them. While you may get rid of the ants you see on your counter or floor, without treating the nest and the entry points, they are likely to return. A pest control professional can help you locate the ant colony, detect potential entry points, and create a tailored extermination plan.
