How do I get rid of ants?

You have a few methods to get rid of ants. You can use simple boiling water but this can be risky and isn’t a long-term fix. You could use an exterminator, which is effective but often expensive and means leaving home for a couple of days. Or you could use more humane methods like an ultrasonic ant deterrent or our non-toxic spray.

Homeshielders prefer the more humane method as it’s safer for you, your children, pets and for the environment!

How do ultrasonic ant deterrents work?

Homeshielders ultrasonic ant deterrents work by emitting very high-pitched noise known to annoy pests and common critters. The noise is inaudible to humans and most pets and is effective against insects, rodents and other visitors who want to share our homes and yards!

How long do your ant control devices take to get rid of ants?

All ant control devices begin working right away but much will depend on the type of ant and how persistent they are. Most customers say their homes become pest free within 7-14 days with more persistent pests disappearing in around 21 days.

Is your bug spray effective even though it’s non-toxic?

Our bug spray is very effective even though it’s non-toxic. It is non-toxic to humans and pets but will irritate ants and other pests enough to drive them away. It uses a mixture of natural compounds including citric acid to drive all kinds of ants and other insects away. It’s very effective at what it does!

How many ant control devices will I need to get rid of ants?

The number of ant control devices you need depends on how large your home is and how large your ant problem is. We would typically recommend one device per room but you wouldn’t need to cover every room, only those which ants favor.

If the problem moves to another room, you can use another device in that room until they get the message.

Can your ant control products prevent as well as cure pest problems?

Yes, they can prevent ant and insect problems as well as cure them. If your neighbors have problems with ants, insects or other critters, you can stop them moving to your home by using our ultrasonic deterrents. The chemical spray won’t work so well as a deterrent but the ultrasonics sure do!

Do ant control products stop ants nesting indoors?
