You need to keep these two pieces of advice in mind, because they are very helpful.  And since we all know that the best defense is a good offense, our next advice is to go out and try to find the nest. All ant – hills have a queen, just like bees. If you kill the queen, you can consider this fight won. The queen is always bigger than the other ants (even three times bigger) and they can also have wings. If you see a bigger ant you should definitely exterminate it, as that is the queen. Once she is taken care of, the ant colony will not become larger and it will be easier to deal with.

You should also know that queens don’t usually surface, unless they are looking for a new home. They normally live at the bottom of the hill. One great way of dealing with an ant extermination– hill, once you’ve found it is to pour hot water over it. Take into account that the colony may be much larger than you expect, so you should definitely pour a considerable amount of water over it, just to make sure that it will leave no ant still standing, and to ensure that the water will also reach the queen.

Given the fact that ants are extremely small, they can work their way almost in any crack, no matter how narrow it is. This is exactly why you should work on isolating every corner of your house.

You should also check you light switch and your electric plugs, because, believe it or not, ants can find their way into those cracks as well.
