It is much easier to prevent the appearance of ants than fighting them with chemicals and home remedies. But there are ways to get rid of these insects. Aerosols are the most popular means but it can be dangerous for humans and pets. However, they kill ants in 2-3 hours or so. You can also use gels - they are more effective. Such stuff kills not only workers but other ants too. Long-lasting insecticide pencils and chalks are good enough too. The safest method is ant traps (they do not make any harm to humans). Read this article to know how to use those things correctly. There are also some home remedies described there.
