Safest way to get rid of ants with a toddler around? I am literally finding them everywhere, like…

Buy the little ant bombs, place them around your house (where little one can't get to) the ants will take the poisonous syrup back to the nest and it will kill the whole colony

We put baby powder where ever they are coming in from we do by door ways and windows it suffocates them and they die. It always works.

What kind of ants? Cornstarch is wonderful, atleast for sugar ants by putting it in all the doorways and Windows and crevices/anywhere else you seem them they tale it make to their nest and it expands when they eat it and makes them explode. Baby powder also helps by suffocation for ants.

Borax, water, sugar and a cotton ball. Look up that mixture, it worked awesome for us.

@gorgeousmay42217, I’m guessing fire ants because they pack a powerful bite

@tennesseehawk, will definitely look it up I’m so sick of them, we got a treatment for the yard but so many beds still keep popping up I’ve never seen ants so bad in one yard

@kerryy23, @dinamarie1995, thanks ladies will have to invest in each of those things

I've always used clove an peppermint oil not only does it smell good it has worked wonders

Borax. Mix with honey and warm water. Pour in a saucer over a paper towel or something they can climb on to get the mixture. They'll take it home and share it. Had it work in my kitchen literally overnight!!
