ant infestation preventionWhen the weather gets warm, ants come marching into your home, searching for delicious food and drink. Carpenter ants and house ants are two common species that may unexpectedly and aggressively invite themselves into your home. Ants are ungrateful roommates that often ruin food and damage personal belongings. Once there’s an infestation, getting rid of ants is difficult. That is why prevention is key. Prevent ant infestations in your Sheffield home using the tips below.

 

Keep Your House Clean

A clean home navigates ants elsewhere. Ants come inside homes searching for sugary liquids, sweets, grains, and any other type of food they may find lying around. Without food available, ants have no reason to come inside your home. It is worth keeping a clean house to keep ants out.

 

Fix Leaks

Leaks invite carpenter ants into the home. This ant species accesses homes through several different entry points, including damp, rotting wood. Fixing leaks keeps mold, mildew, and other dangers away, saves money and benefits the environment, and, most importantly, ensures an ant infestation doesn’t burden you this summer.

 

Seal up Entry Points

Ants may enter a home through a hole in a baseboard, window, door, piping system, or other tiny and inconspicuous places. Take a walk around your home looking for these entry points and seal them up immediately. If ants cannot access the home, it’s safe!

 

Create an Outdoor Ant Fun Zone

Believe it or not, ants greatly benefit the ecosystem.  The pest aerates the soil and provides birds with a tasty food source. That is why keeping the pest outdoors is so important! Provide ants with an outdoor fun zone and keep them outdoors, out of your hair and home,  with plants like Aphids, which are sticky, sweet, and tasty to ants.
