Ants are a very common pest in the Capital Region. With warmer outdoor temperatures, it is common to see an increase in ant activity around your home and inside your home. How can you prevent ants from entering your home?
- Ants often enter homes via gaps and cracks around areas such as doors, windows, and walls. Check the exterior of your home for potential entry points and seal them up.
- Avoid attracting ants by keeping food in sealed containers, cleaning up crumbs and spills immediately, wiping countertops regularly, and making sure that trash cans have well-fitting lids.
- Check your plumbing for leaks and the basement for moisture. Ants are drawn to moisture.
- Keep firewood stacked away from the exterior of your home.
- Utilize your local, trusted pest control professional for targeted ant control treatments.
