1. Seal Entry Points
Why it’s important: Ants are small and can find their way into your home through tiny cracks and gaps.
How to do it: Inspect your home’s exterior and seal any cracks, gaps, or holes using caulk or weather stripping. Pay special attention to areas around doors, windows, and utility pipes.
2. Maintain Cleanliness
Why it’s important: Ants are attracted to food and water sources.
How to do it: Keep your kitchen and dining areas clean. Wipe down countertops, sweep floors, and promptly clean up spills. Store food in airtight containers and take out the trash regularly.
3. Eliminate Moisture
Why it’s important: Ants need water to survive.
How to do it: Fix any leaky pipes, faucets, and drains. Use a dehumidifier in damp areas like basements and ensure good ventilation in bathrooms and kitchens.
4. Use Natural Deterrents
Why it’s important: Certain scents and substances can repel ants.
How to do it: Place cucumber peels, citrus oil, cinnamon, or coffee grounds near entry points and ant trails. These natural deterrents can help keep ants at bay.
5. Regular Yard Maintenance
Why it’s important: A well-maintained yard can reduce the likelihood of ants entering your home.
How to do it: Trim trees and shrubs away from your house. Keep mulch and firewood away from your home’s foundation. Regularly mow your lawn and remove any debris.
