Methods used for a household ant extermination
To effectively exterminate house ants, you must eliminate the workers but also the queen (or queens when there are several nests in the house). Sometimes the queen is in the mother colony outside, while the satellite nests are in your home. For house ants extermination, baits can be placed on the floors of the house, which the ants will bring to others as well as to the queen. You can also spread an insecticide on the surfaces at risk.
