Tips & Warnings
Consider laying down ant traps to keep the black ants at bay. After a week or so, repeat Steps 4 through 6. This keeps the ants from returning through the holes. Keeping your house clean will also keep ants at bay.
Make sure not to spray too much of the ant poison. Too much of it might put you or your family in danger. Spray small holes for one second and bigger holes for three seconds.
