Nippon Ant Killer Liquid 25g

Product Information

Daniel has over 18 years of experience in the construction, home improvement, and landscape garden industries. Many plants give off strong scents to deter insects and you can do the same thing with spices, herbs and essential oils. It’s worth pointing out that even natural products can be harmful to children and pets or may damage certain surfaces. For example, vinegar is very acidic and can eat marble and granite. Some products may be delivered straight to your door from one of our suppliers and these products will be labelled within the product description. Nippon Ant Killer Liquid can be used both indoors and outdoors, either with a Nippon Ant Control System or on its own.

Nippon ant killer powder contains an industry-leading 0.488% Permethrin, which is more than enough to kill off the ants contained in an entire colony. Bait traps– These are ideal for areas indoors where the pets and children can’t reach; I’ve tested them inside floor-level storage areas, under cabinets, under the stairs etc. They can be used outdoors, but as they contain harmful chemicals, they may harm cats, dogs and foxes that may chew them. I’ve tested several ant-killer products over the years and I’ve found the best products contain harsh chemicals, but they are very effective. I suggest limiting their use to areas where children and pets don’t go. For other areas where there’s an infestation of ants, try one of the natural options I’ve listed at the end of this guide. Nippon Ant Killer Liquid is hazardous to bees and should not be used in areas where food, feed or water could become contaminated.I’ve had better results with nematodes in the spring than in the winter which is most likely due them drying out and dying in the hot summer weather. These bait stations by Home Defence are by far the best ant killer products I’ve tested so far and I used them while living at my old property which often suffered from ants. Ants cannot follow the scent left by other ants and they soon move away to other areas. Apply vinegar to areas with a cloth and repeat the application every few hours. Perfect for indoor use near where children or pets play. If using without a bait station, simply place three to four drops on a clean surface such as a piece of plastic, glass or metal next to the ant run. When I tested the traps, I found that I didn’t need to open the box or handle any chemicals, I just removed the plastic tabs and placed the bait boxes near the ants.

I’ve had some success at getting rid of or at least forcing ants to relocate by using natural alternatives. Nematodes are small, almost microscopic, roundworms that thrive in the top 15cm of soil throughout most parts of the world. I used this at the front of our property where our dog couldn’t get to it, I believe it’s also safe to use in sheds, garages, under floorboards etc.

Ant colonies have been known to hold up to 40,000 ants, and while the average UK ant hill holds between 3000 and 9000 ants, having this number of insects marching through your home or digging up your garden can be quite worrying! Ants will often abandon a colony if they discover nematodes nearby, the threat to their nest is too great so they relocate to a safer area. Nematodes– A living organism that you can buy online, but you must keep in the fridge until used in the garden. I’ve had great results with nematodes in the spring when the ground is moist, but I’ve found they don’t work so well in the summer when the ground is dry. They are an organic and safe alternative to harsh chemicals. While you can store them in the fridge, they will only last a few days before they start to die off. Once inside, the ants were killed off; I saw no mess and no powder residue. I found that if I placed them strategically, there was no risk of pets getting to them either.

Use biocides safely and keep out of reach of children and animals. Always read the label and product information before use. Undo cap and pierce the end seal. Place 3-4 drops of product per bait point preferably in the late evening into a refillable bait system or on an impervious surface by the ant run.I’ve previously used nematodes on slugs, ants and lawn grubs in my own garden and also for clients and the results have been excellent. Put an end to troublesome ant invasions with Nippon Ant Killer Powder from Homebase. Just one use of this long-lasting powder can solve the problem for up to six months. Then simply top it up with another application for continued protection. This tried-and-tested formula is also available as ant killer liquid and gel. If you’re dealing with other insects, browse the range to find the right product for the job. From woodlice to wasps, Nippon will help you say goodbye to unwelcome visitors and restore harmony in your home. There are dozens of nematode species, some are harmful to plants while some only target pests such as insects. If you want to avoid all harmful chemicals and are looking for a 100% organic and natural alternative, try nematodes. Bait boxes contain the same chemicals which are sealed inside a small plastic box with small entry holes for the ants.
