Why Do Ants Invade Homes?

Ants are always on the hunt for food, water, and shelter, and your home offers the perfect environment. Leftover crumbs, standing water, and even pet food can attract ants indoors. Once a scout ant finds a reliable source, it signals others, leading to a full-blown invasion in a matter of hours.

Prevention Tips

How to Get Rid of Ants?

Ant Baits

Use Ant Baits Effectively

Ant baits attract foraging ants, allowing them to carry poison back to the colony. Place baits near entry points and trails for maximum impact.

Seal Entry Points

Seal All Entry Points

Use caulk or weatherstripping to block common entry paths like window sills, baseboards, and door cracks to keep ants out.

Deep Cleaning

Deep Clean Your Home

Ants are attracted to crumbs and spills. Regularly clean kitchen counters, sweep floors, and take out the trash to remove food sources.

Natural Repellents

Use Natural Repellents

Essential oils like peppermint, tea tree, and citrus are great natural repellents. Spray in corners, along trails, and around baseboards.

Fix Moisture Issues

Fix Moisture Problems

Leaky pipes and standing water attract ants. Repair plumbing issues and use dehumidifiers in damp areas like basements.
