To fight ants, people invented a great many means. There are folk recipes (we will leave their effectiveness on the conscience of this very people), and chemicals that have proven themselves from different sides for a long time. Any popular remedy for ants can be popular both due to its high efficiency and due to established opinions that have developed over many years of its use. For example, DDT is a very effective disinfector, but at the same time poison for any living organism, including a person. Currently safe for people and at the same time merciless to insects are modern drugs. Of course, this applies to funds produced in those countries where the care of people is not just a populist slogan (for example, insecticides from Germany).
