Product Information

Raid has been ridding your home of bugs since our first insect defence spray was formulated by SC Johnson back in 1956. Knowing how to get rid of ants in a house requires a slightly different approach to how to kill ants' nests in a lawn. If you do require precise ingredient information you should consult the manufacturer, whose contact details will appear on the packaging or label.

The worst offenders are the brown house moth (8mm long with bronze, black-flecked wings) and the common clothes moth (6-7mm long with paler, beige wings). In addition to regular vacuuming, add a few drops of lavender essential oil – a natural repellent – to water in a spray bottle, shake well and use it to spritz carpets. Once an ant has discovered a food source it leaves a pheromone trail, for other ants from the colony to follow.

Ants are attracted to anything that’s sweet and sticky, which is why you are most likely to find ants in kitchen cupboards or areas where food is kept,' says Paul Blackhurst, Head of Technical Academy, Rentokil Pest Control.

Whichever type of sealant you use, apply to cracks and gaps per the manufacturer's instructions, and make sure you're not leaving any holes exposed.Spray the mixture anywhere ants congregate or originate from and look out for products with eucalyptus or mint, because ants hate those smells. You might have to play detective a bit to locate their point of entry, so observe their movements and follow their trail - you probably won't be able to miss it, given that they come in such high numbers. Place the mixture around the entrances to the ant nest if you know where it is, or along active chemical trails.
