Why DIY Methods Always Fail
Save yourself time, money, and frustration. Here's why store-bought solutions don't work:
Boric acid bait
Problem: Ants may not be attracted to the bait
Result: Infestation persists or returns

Boiling water
Problem: Boiling water rarely reaches the entire ant colony underground
Result: Only kills surface ants, not the queen or most workers
Diatomaceous earth
Problem: Diatomaceous earth only affects ants that come into direct contact with it
Result: Many ants avoid treated areas, so the colony survives
Vinegar spray
Problem: Vinegar only masks scent trails, doesn't kill ants or destroy the colony
Result: Ants return once the smell fades
Stop Wasting Time and Money
The average homeowner spends $200+ on failed DIY attempts before calling professionals. Meanwhile, the infestation grows worse.
