Orlando AntsIt is difficult to keep ants out of any structure. They are tiny, intelligent creatures that can slip into the smallest openings in walls and floors. Once they find a food source inside, it is only a matter of time before a trail of hundreds of ants forms between your home and their nest. In some cases, certain species of ants may even set up a nest beneath or within a home. Here are some ways you can get rid of ants and keep them from infesting your home.

4 Common Ant Control Methods

  1. Clean Your HomeHow to Keep Ants from Infesting Your Home The best way to keep ants from entering your home is to clean it regularly and keep food (especially sweets) properly sealed. Ants love sugar more than anything and will travel great lengths to find it. Spilled sweet drinks, crushed pieces of candy, and similar messes can tempt ants to come inside. Frequent vacuuming and cleaning of floors, countertops, and other surfaces makes a home less attractive to ants.
  2. Use Ant Sprays – A barrier of ant-repellant can be put around the baseboards of your home and around the foundation outside to kill or repel ants trying to enter your residence. Destroying ant nests outside with poisoned granules also helps keep them from getting too close to home.
  3. Try Natural Ant Repellents – If you prefer to use more environmentally-friendly ant deterrents, you can try sealing the edges of your home with materials like:
      • Dish soap
      • Vinegar
      • Lemon Juice
      • Peppermint oil
      • Chalk
      • Baby powder

    Many of these materials give off strong fumes, and since ants are extra sensitive to smells, these natural repellents will keep them out of your home without using any toxic material.
