When you\u2019ve got ants in your home<\/a> there are only so many things you can do to get rid of them. Destroying the nest can work \u2013 if you can find it. Cleaning up any food sources and wiping down the ant trail with bleach can help, but when the going gets tough, you\u2019ve gotta break out the big guns \u2013 ant traps.<\/p>\n

Ant traps differ slightly from other insect and pest traps, as their essentially just poisoned bait. The ants are attracted by the bait and take small bits of it back to their nest for the rest of them to eat. What they don\u2019t know is that the bait is laced with chemicals that are toxic to ants (although not toxic to humans or pets).<\/p>\n
