Ants were often a nuisance around my house and yard. I wanted to kill ants that were bringing up sand between the cracks in my patio and driveway, and to kill the ants that occasionally paraded through my house.

I visited my local home improvement store to browse products to kill ants. There are a variety of products available to kill ants, and I chose an inexpensive box of poison canisters that can be set out safely near colonies of ants and their pathways. Ants are attracted to the poison which is easily accessible to them, but not easily accessible to larger creatures such as pets or other wildlife. Ants carry the poison into their colonies where they spread the poison and kill ants in large numbers.

Now I kill ants quickly whenever they try to establish a colony. There is no hassle and no mess.
