subject: The Rundown On Flying Ants [print this page] Once you have determined whether or not you have a problem with ants, you might want to look into treatments to get rid of them. There are both chemical treatments, which are deadly, or non-deadly treatments to the ants, such as repellents. Ant repellents are not too expensive and are usually effective at getting rid of the ants, whether they are inside or outside your house. However, if you have a serious problem with flying ants, you might have to consider insecticides and pest control in order to get rid of them for good. If not, basic repellents work well - in fact, dish detergent is one thing you can use to kill or drive off ants without needing to buy any pesticide for. Just make sure to keep kids and pets away from the site where you are applying these pesticides, so that no humans are harmed in the process of ant removal.
