Ants

Ants are known to spoil a picnic outside, but they can get in your home and wreak havoc indoors too. The best way to deal with an ant problem is to keep them from getting in in the first place.

How to Keep Ants Out of My House?

Seal up any cracks or crevices in your home’s foundation and around doors and windows. Avoid leaving food crumbs on your floor or counters, which will entice them to come in and stay. In addition to sweeping up regularly, use a disinfectant to remove traces and scents of food completely.

Should I Get an Exterminator for Ants?

If, despite your best efforts to deter the critters, you find yourself with ants, here is what you should do. You can pick up ant traps at your local hardware store and set them in areas of infestation. You can also spray with an ant killer both inside and outside of your home. Your best bet, especially if the problem is severe, is to rely on the tools and experience of professional pest control services.
