Kill ants when they move inside your home.
Ants can swarm in or around your home. They can contaminate food, damage furniture and bite your skin. For this reason, many homeowners choose to use ant-killing solutions. These pesticides are potentially harmful to your health, so take the proper precautions. Does this Spark an idea?
Skin Contact
Ant-killing solutions can damage your skin if it comes into contact with the pesticide. For this reason, use a pair of gloves, long sleeves and long pants to make sure the solution doesn't drip onto your skin. Always keep children and pets away from the area when you are spraying to make sure it doesn't touch their skin.
Eye Contact
Ant killer can irritate and damage your eyes if you spray it directly into them or it you spray it into the wind and it blows into your eyes. Avoid this by wearing goggles whenever you are using the ant-killing solution and by always spraying with, rather than against, the wind.
Water Contamination
Ant-killing solutions are extremely toxic to fish. For this reason, never apply the solution to an area that could leach into an underwater aquifer or well. Also, never apply more of it than needed, as it could seep into a river or pool and kill wildlife there.
Flammable
Many ant-killing solutions are flammable. Thus, never apply them to an open flame or leave them on an area near open flames, such as a stove or an oven. Rinse the area with clear water after the ants are dead to rinse away the liquid and ensure that the residue doesn't catch on fire. Store ant killer away from heat and high temperatures.
