More About Ants:

What You Need To Know

Many ant species build their nests outdoors, and become a nuisance when they forage for food inside your home.
Some of the more common ant species that may invade and choose to reside inside are pavement ants, carpenter ants, odorous house ants, thief ants, acrobat ants and pharaoh ants.
Ants inside your home or apartment can be a seasonal or year-round problem.
Once they discover a good food source, some species may decide to live inside your home, others may collect their food and leave to take the food back to their outdoor colony.
Inside ants may be found near their food sources, moisture, and in hidden, protected places like wall voids, under appliances, behind window frames and beneath floors.
Ants like to live close to people and eat some of the same things we do sweets, meats, starches and liquids.
Correct identification is crucial because ants are not all the same. Different ant species may have very different behavior, habits and habitats.

What You Can Do

Call your professional pest control provider to identify the types of ants you have and help create a plan to eradicate and prevent further occurrences
Remove moisture from areas in and around your house (leaky faucets, standing drains, clogged gutters, puddles, etc.)
Only eat in the kitchen to centralize food dispersion
Clean up after each meal
Don't leave dirty dishes in the sink over night
Take out the trash frequently
Move debris away from the home or building so ants are not attracted to it and then enter the home.
Seal locations where wires, conduit or pipes enter the house. Use door screens, door sweeps, and window screens to prevent entry.
Keep tree limbs pruned so they never overlap or otherwise touch the house or building. Ants will use branches to enter the home.
