Ants are some of the most common pests to enter homes. Their sheer numbers and ability to sniff out the smallest crumbs in your home make them tough to deal with. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to help keep them out of your home. Follow the residential pest control tips below to protect your home from these pesky insects.

How to Protect Your Home from Ants

1. Seal Entrances

If the ants have no way to get into your home, then they won’t become a problem for you. Keep in mind that they can enter through the smallest of cracks, so you’ll need to do more than keep doors and windows screened. Use a tube of caulk to fill in any cracks around windows or in the exterior walls.

2. Remove Food Sources

Wash dishes immediately after using them, and always wipe down countertops and clean out the sink after use. Limit eating to the kitchen and dining room, so crumbs don’t spread throughout the rest of the house.  

3. Hire Residential Pest Control

When you see any ants in your home, don’t wait until the problem gets worse to call pest control. If they find a food source, they will bring back more ants from their colony, and the number of insects in your home will increase quickly. A pest control service can quickly remove them.
