If you are like many of our clients, you are starting to get ANTSY about the ANTS that are infiltrating your home this summer.
Your home is one of the many places where ants can make their rounds. Your sink, table, countertops, all appliances, floors, and every nook and cranny of your kitchen should be cleaned and sanitized on a routine basis.
Like many insects, ants are not picky eaters. Most rely heavily on both plants and animals for food; some are especially attracted to sugary and greasy foods.
Ants can travel great distances foraging for the colony, making many foods in your home ripe for the taking. Though they normally nest outdoors, ants often enter homes searching for food, exploiting tiny cracks around doors, pipes, and windows.
“All ant species are difficult to control because they’re highly adaptive and have great survival instincts,” says Frank Meek, technical director for Orkin, Inc. “Unfortunately, the natural conditions in our homes-no matter how clean-provide the perfect environment for ants.”
Here are 10 Tips for Keeping Ants Out of Your Home This Summer:
Lay out some cutup lemons or use citrus-scented cleaners
Peppermint Oil in an incense burner or diluted in water in a spray bottle
Adding a dash of vinegar to your water or cleaning solution the next time you mop
Stop leaving food out on surfaces, especially sweets or fruits
Regularly empty inside and outside trashcan bins
Remove sources of standing water in your home, ants require water to live
Seal gaps and holes in your baseboards, flooring, roofing, vents, near plumbing, etc.
Rinse your drink cans and bottles before recycling
Store food in tightly sealed containers
Pick up your pet's food at night
