Ants are helpful in gardens. They eat bad insects and make air in the soil. But sometimes they can be a pest.

Ants can be bad if they live under plants or in busy areas. They like food and can go inside with you.

You can get rid of ants easily. You can destroy their nest with one thing you have at home.

She said to use boiling water from your kettle. It's easy and cheap, about 5p in the UK.

She showed how to kill an ant nest at home without buying anything.

She said you must do it many times to kill all the ants. You should also make holes in the nest to get the queen.
