As the name suggests, they’re attracted to sweet things. So, now that you know a little about them the question is, how to get rid of sugar ants?

Cleaning your kitchen and setting out traps can only do so much. Check out this guide for an entire list of tips you can use to make the ants go away and keep them away.

Clean Every Day

The thing about these ants is that they are attracted to strong odors. Every spill and crumb you don’t clean up will put out a smell that will attract them to your home.

If the damage has already been done, you can get rid of ants by limiting their food source.

Only eat in the kitchen and clean up after mealtime is over. Take out your garbage as soon as it gets full and put any of your open foods in a sealed container so they can’t get to it.

Diatomaceous Earth

DE is a great method for getting rid of ants. It’s non-toxic so, you don’t have to worry about it harming your children or pets. Sprinkle it around any area where they might be getting in.

When the ants cross over the powder, it will slowly begin to dehydrate them. After a while, they’ll dry out to the point of dying.

Baking Soda

The baking soda method is a double-edged sword when it comes to getting rid of ants. You have to mix the baking soda with sugar in order to lure the ants into your home.

The ants will eat the baking soda and die, but not before taking it back to their colony to spread it around to some of their friends.

So, it’s effective, but better to use if you have a bunch of sugar ants hanging around outside your home.

Ant Baits

You can buy ant traps, baits, and sprays on the market. You can also make your own trap. Pour some corn syrup on a paper plate.

The ants will be attracted to the sweet smell and go over to inspect it.

They won’t be able to leave the plate because of how gooey the syrup is. All you have to do is wait for them to stop moving and toss the plate in the garbage.

We’ll tell you that this method won’t work as well if you’re not dealing with sugar ants.

You can read this resource here to find out for sure what kind of ants are in your kitchen.

How to Get Rid of Sugar Ants for Good?

It will lure them into your house, but you’ll be able to kill them from there.
