Brunnings Ant Killer Powder 500g – Indoor and Outdoor Ant Killer for Ants, Fleas and Bedbugs

Ant Killer Powder for Indoor and Outdoor Use

Brunnings Ant Killer is a ready-to-use ant killer powder containing permethrin, made for indoor and outdoor use. It controls ants along their trails, on and around nests and at the points where they get into your home, and it also controls fleas and bedbugs. The 500g shaker pack makes it easy to dust exactly where ants are active, with no mixing or spraying.

Ant Nest Killer for Runs, Nests and Entry Points

Ants follow scent trails between their nest and food, so treating where they travel is the key to control. As an ant nest killer, the powder is applied along ant runs and directly on and around nests. Ants walking through the treated dust pick it up on their bodies and are affected, which helps reduce the colony at the source rather than just killing the ants you can see. Repeat as needed until activity stops.

Outdoor Ant Killer for Paths, Patios and Gardens

Outdoors, ant nests often show up as small mounds of sand between pavers, along paths and driveways, under patio slabs and around the edges of lawns and garden beds. As an outdoor ant killer, Brunnings Ant Killer can be dusted onto these nests and the trails leading from them. It is especially handy in summer and after rain, when ants are most active around Sydney homes and gardens.

Indoor Ant Killer for Entry Points

When ants invade the house, they usually come in through gaps around doors, windows, skirting boards, pipes and cracks in walls. As an indoor ant killer, the label directs applying the powder to the routes by which ants enter. Keep the dust to cracks, gaps and entry points rather than open floors, and away from food, benches and areas children and pets use.

Also Controls Fleas and Bedbugs

Beyond ants, this powder is registered to control fleas and bedbugs. For fleas, it is applied over the floor and brushed into the carpet pile. For bedbugs, it is applied to bedsteads, mattresses, floor coverings, upholstered furniture, cracks in walls, behind loose wallpaper and joins in woodwork, as directed on the label.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I kill an ant nest?

Dust the powder directly on and around the nest and along the trails leading to it. Ants passing through the treated area pick up the powder, which helps reduce the colony. Reapply if activity continues.

How long does ant killer powder take to work?

Ants that walk through the powder are usually affected within hours, and nest activity generally drops off over the following days. Leave the dust in place so it keeps working on ants that come and go.

Can I use it inside the house?

Yes. It is for indoor and outdoor use. Indoors, apply it to cracks, gaps and the routes ants use to enter, away from food areas and places children and pets can reach.

Is ant killer powder safe for pets?

It must be kept away from pets. Permethrin is highly toxic to cats, so keep cats well away from treated areas. Keep dogs and other pets off treated areas too.

What is the best ant killer powder in Australia?

The best ant killer powder is one registered for the pests you have and suited to where you need to treat. For ant runs, nests and entry points indoors and outdoors, with fleas and bedbugs also covered, a permethrin powder like Brunnings Ant Killer is a practical all-round choice.
