Environmentally friendly remedies and natural solutions against ants in the house and garden

1. General information about ants
Ants are social insects that live in large colonies and are highly successful due to their organization. In nature, they perform useful functions such as soil aeration and waste degradation. However, they become problematic when they invade homes and infest sugar or protein-rich foods, or loosen paving stones in the garden and encourage aphid infestation. The black garden ant (Lasius niger) is particularly common in Germany.
2. Detect ant infestation – typical signs
Detecting an ant infestation is relatively easy, as the animals appear in large numbers and leave visible traces. Typical signs of ant presence include:
- Ant trails : Clear paths between the nest and the food source.
- Ant nests : Small mounds of sand or earth, often in pavement joints, cracks in walls or flowerbeds.
-
Ants in the house : Often found in kitchens, pantries, or places where food is exposed.
- Severe aphid infestation in the garden , promoted by ants.
The earlier an infestation is detected, the easier it is to control ants . If ants are ignored, colonies spread quickly and can infest entire houses or gardens.
With the ant repellent spray you can keep ants away and reliably protect the affected areas.
- Easy to use: Quick to use and easy to handle – ideal for kitchens, pantries, basements or other living areas.
- Natural formula: Plant-based ingredients, free from synthetic additives and no unpleasant odor.

3. Prevent ants – how to protect your home and garden
If you want to prevent ants, you should pay attention to consistent cleanliness and sealing. This will prevent ants from entering your house in the first place or spreading too much in your garden:
- Store food safely : Always keep sugar, honey, bread, fruit and other foods hermetically sealed.
- Keep the kitchen clean : Remove crumbs, leftover food and open drinks immediately, and clean surfaces regularly.
- Seal entry points : Check gaps, joints, door and window frames for cracks and seal them.
- Pay attention to garden care : Do not leave fruit lying around, close garbage bins and combat aphids in good time.
- Avoid moisture : Eliminate standing water and damp areas, as these further attract ants.
This preventative approach can often prevent an ant infestation. If problems do occur, targeted control is necessary.
With the SF nematodes, you can specifically combat ants in the soil and thus protect the affected areas sustainably.
