INSECT CONTROL RECIPE
Ant Killer
A direct-contact soap spray for ants you can see right now — fast, but it only reaches the ants it touches, not the nest.
Prep: 5 minutes
Yields: about 2 cups
Organic-friendly
Ingredients
1 cup water
2 tablespoons liquid dish soap
Spray bottle
Instructions
1
Mix the water and dish soap in a spray bottle, shaking gently to combine.
2
Spray directly onto visible ants — the soap breaks down their protective outer coating.
3
Wipe up afterward and reapply as needed whenever new ants appear.
Tip: For a lasting fix, follow up with a bait like our Ant Bait recipe so the colony doesn't just send out new scouts.
