Nematodes are small, almost microscopic, roundworms that thrive in the top 15cm of soil throughout most parts of the world. 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. I found this product easy to use when I tested it, I just squeezed the upturned bottle to puff out the ant killer powder. I’ve used it directly on ant hills and in lines to form a barrier. 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. Nippon Ant Killer Liquid is hazardous to bees and should not be used in areas where food, feed or water could become contaminated.

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. There are dozens of nematode species, some are harmful to plants while some only target pests such as insects. Nippon Ant Killer Liquid can be used both indoors and outdoors, either with a Nippon Ant Control System or on its own. 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! Use biocides safely and keep out of reach of children and animals. Always read the label and product information before useAnts 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. 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.

Nippon Ant Killer Liquid is particularly good if you do not know where the nest is or it is inaccessible.

While you can store them in the fridge, they will only last a few days before they start to die off. 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. 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.

Use biocides safely and keep out of reach of children and animals. Always read the label and product information before use. 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.

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 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.
