Best practices for indoor ants control
Identifying the ant species can certainly be useful, as it helps determine the potential nest locations and nest size. However, even without identifying the species present, there are some basic principles of ant control that will allow you to get on top of almost any ant problem.
Eliminate food sources
It’s probably not surprising to hear that ants most frequently infest kitchens. After all, kitchens are full of food and water, everything ants as well as all other pests need to survive. Keeping your kitchen tidy will help to discourage ants from coming indoors. Wipe down counters and sweep floors regularly to eliminate crumbs and residue from spills. Store food in sealed containers and keep ripe fruit in the refrigerator. Wipe down sticky jars, especially any containing honey, syrup, or other sweets. Finally, be sure to dispose of rubbish regularly.
Know where the ants are hiding
It’s important to know where the ants are coming from in order to eliminate them. Be sure to check your indoor plants and backyard for hordes of ants, which might indicate nests under the soil. Don’t forget to check under pots and other damp locations. If you do locate an ants nest outdoors, contact Townsville Termite and Pest Control.
Block off or eliminate access points
Take time to inspect the outside of your home for easy access points. Trees and bushes should be trimmed away from the home, as branches can provide highways indoors for ants to enter your home. Sealing any cracks and crevices on the outside of the home with silicone will also help to block off entry points.
Call the professionals for a thorough ant indoor and outdoor treatment
Ant infestations can continue to grow if it is not properly treated. So, whether it’s ants, termites, or cockroaches, we highly recommended to get a professional pest control treatment annually.
