What Attracts Ants?
Ants burn a ton of energy. They’re the energizer bunnies of the insect kingdom. They just keep going and going. Because of this, they need a lot of food. Naturally, our homes have a lot of food, and not a ton of barriers for entry for the common ant. That makes our cupboards a veritable buffet for an ant colony.
Ants Can Reek Havoc
There are many species of ants. Some have the capability to chew through your home, weakening structures and burrowing deep within its confines. If an ant problem is left uncheck, it can lead to major issues down the road.
The Any Removal Process
The first step in the professional ant removal process is the identification of the species, and a few potential causes for the infestation. This helps a pest control specialist use the appropriate course of action to remedy the ant problem. Also, the type of infestation must be taken into consideration. A typical chemical treatment that you might use on an ant hill, simply isn’t safe for pets and children.
After all of the information has been gathered, the pest control specialist will administer the appropriate treatment which usually involves a combination of bait traps and direct insecticide spraying. A professional pest control operator can usually knock out the ant problem rather quickly—whereas a DIY approach may only temporarily solve a small portion of a much larger problem.
How To Deter Ants In The Future
Keeping your home and surfaces neat and tidy can go a long way to deterring ants. Any food or sweets left lying around are like heaven for an ant colony. Secondly, storing food in sealed containers keeps the chemical scent away from those nosy ants.
Deploying ant bait traps around your house and in areas where ants will commonly be found is another great way to prevent ants from moving in. Even if you haven’t seen any ants, keeping these traps in your home (safely out of reach of pets and children) can stop an infestation before it begins.
Next, have a look outside. Do you see any ant hills, or areas that look like ant colonies? If you do, dispose of them. These ant neighbors can quickly turn into ant tenants if left unchecked. On this same note, spraying an ant barrier around your home can prevent ants from being able to enter the premises. (This is often best left to the professionals).
