Tips for Getting Rid of Winged Ants

Vacuum: If you have large ants in your home, you can suck them up with your vacuum. Vacuum them whenever you see them and be sure to empty the vacuum immediately.


Peppermint: Peppermint is a natural ant repellant because it smells like some of its predators. Mix one part dish soap and two parts water with a few drops of peppermint in a bottle. Spray the solution around your home, especially where you see ants.


Pesticide: Pesticide is an effective measure for killing flying ants, but it does not alleviate the problem of the colony. You will still have to put in some work to get rid of the colony. Be sure to wear goggles and be careful if applying the pesticide indoors.


Glue Traps: Glue traps are easily found at your local hardware store and are effective measures of control. The ants will fly on them, get stuck, and die. Place several around your home to maximize their effectiveness.
