In a hurry? Here are the best products at a glance.
If you have an ant infestation in your home or workplace, there are a lot of ways to take care of it. All of them involve some sort of ant killer. We’ve researched a range of different kinds of ant killers to help you find the best one. Before we get to the reviews, let’s take a look at some of the important features you need to know about to find the most powerful ant killer.
Count - When applicable, we made sure to note how many come in a package. Some of the top ant killers are traps or cartridges with a few to a package. Others are large bags or bottles that don’t have a product count.
Usage - All of the top rated ant killers are good for home use but a few are also appropriate for commercial properties. There are reasons why some ant killers aren’t rated for commercial use so make sure you read the directions first.
Target - Sometimes, you’re dealing with one kind of ant. Other times, maybe you’re not sure or you know you’re seen a few types crawling about. Some ant killers are really specific while others will take out just about any insect.
Location - Some of these can be used anywhere, indoors or outdoors. Generally, sprays and loose powders are only supposed to be used outdoors where there’s proper ventilation. Gels and bait traps can be used anywhere, indoors or out.
Strength - There are a few ant killers that are specifically designed to have residual effects that continue working for weeks or even months. When possible, we were as specific as we could be about how long each was effective.
Weight - Two things we should note here. Bags of powder come in multi-pound bags that can be used a few times. The weight of liquids can be deceiving because you dilute them so you’re actually getting much more.
Dealing with an ant infestation can be frustrating. Whether it’s inside or outside, household ants in the kitchen or fire ants in the yard, you need to take care of it. Fast. No matter where your problem is, there’s a top rated ant killer for you. Now that you know the important features of the best ant killers, let’s get into the reviews. If you’re in a hurry, check out our top and budget picks first. Now, let’s get started!
