- Vinegar or citrus spray
- Double-sided tape
How to do it:
Seal cracks and entry points with caulk.

Natural and Non-toxic Method
🛠️ Tools:
- White vinegar
- Water
- Spray bottle
- Cucumber peels
- Citrus peels
How to do it:
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution along entry points, baseboards, and areas where Crazy Ants are seen. Place cucumber peels or citrus peels near infested areas as a natural repellent.
Result:
Ants avoid treated areas, reducing their presence and protecting your goods.
Problem:
If the ant colony is large or has multiple nests, this method may not eliminate all ants, and they may find new entry points.

🛠️ Tools:
- Gloves
- Broom and dustpan
- Vacuum cleaner
- Trash bags
- Cleaning spray or soapy water
- Sponges or cleaning cloths
- Caulk and caulking gun
- Weatherstripping

- Notepad or checklist (for regular inspections)
How to do it:
Physically remove Crazy Ants and block their entry points to protect your goods.
Result:
- Locate and remove visible ant trails and nests.
- Clean surfaces to eliminate scent trails.
- Seal cracks, gaps, and entry points with caulk or weatherstripping.
- Store goods in airtight containers.
- Regularly inspect and maintain barriers.
Problem:
This method may fail if ants find new entry points, barriers degrade over time, or nests are hidden and not fully removed.
Physical Removal & Exclusion
🛠️ Tools:
- Diatomaceous earth
- Applicator for diatomaceous earth (optional, for precise placement)
- Predatory insects (e.g., certain beetle species)
- Container or release device for predatory insects
- Essential oils (peppermint, citrus)
- Spray bottle or diffuser for essential oils
- Airtight food storage containers
- Cleaning supplies (broom, vacuum, cloths)
How to do it:
Use natural predators or deterrents to control Crazy Ants.
Result:
- Place diatomaceous earth along entry points and ant trails.
- Release predatory insects like certain beetles in your yard.
- Use essential oils (peppermint, citrus) as a repellent near doors and windows.
- Keep food sealed and clean up crumbs to reduce attractants.
Problem:
This method may fail if the ant colony is large, predators are unavailable, or if the ants find new entry points.
Biological Control (Eco-Friendly)
🛠️ Tools:
- Boric acid
- Sugar
- Water
- Measuring teaspoon
- Measuring cup
- Mixing bowl or container
- Spoon or stirrer
- Cotton balls
- Shallow containers (e.g., jar lids, small dishes)
How to do it:
Mix 1 teaspoon boric acid with 1 cup sugar and 2 cups water. Soak cotton balls in the solution and place them in shallow containers near ant trails and entry points.
Result:
- Attracts and poisons crazy ants
- Reduces ant population over time
- Prevents further infestation if used regularly
Problem:
This method may fail if ants find alternative food sources, avoid the bait, or if the colony is too large for the bait to eliminate.
Stop Wasting Time and Money
The average homeowner spends $200+ on failed DIY attempts before calling professionals. Meanwhile, the infestation grows worse.
Best DIY Method To Get Rid Of Crazy Ant
The best way to control and prevent Crazy Ants from entering your home and damaging your belongings is to use a combination of sealing entry points and applying non-repellent ant bait. This method targets the entire colony, not just the ants you see, and is safe for DIY use.
Seal All Entry Points
Start by inspecting your home for any cracks, gaps, or holes around windows, doors, pipes, and the foundation. Use silicone caulk or weatherstripping to seal these openings. Pay special attention to areas where cables or pipes enter the house, as ants often use these as highways. Make sure window screens are intact and fit tightly. This step blocks the ants’ main access routes.
Remove Food and Water Sources
Crazy Ants are attracted to food crumbs, spills, and moisture. Clean up food and drink spills immediately. Store food in airtight containers and keep pet food sealed when not in use. Fix any leaky pipes or faucets, and avoid leaving standing water in sinks or pet bowls overnight. Regularly empty trash cans and keep them tightly closed.
Apply Non-Repellent Ant Bait
Use a non-repellent gel or liquid ant bait labeled for Crazy Ants. Place small amounts of bait along ant trails, near entry points, and in areas where you’ve seen activity. Do not spray regular insecticides, as these can cause the colony to split and spread. The ants will carry the bait back to their nest, sharing it with the colony and queen, which eliminates the entire infestation over time. Replenish bait as needed until you see no more ant activity.
Maintain a Clean Perimeter
Keep the area around your home free of leaf litter, mulch, and debris, as these provide shelter for ants. Trim back vegetation touching the house to reduce bridges for ants to enter. Regularly check and maintain these barriers to keep Crazy Ants out for good.
