Most Darein residents unwittingly welcome ants into their homes by leaving food behind. Even small crumbs, sticky spills, or exposed leftovers can be a banquet for an entire colony of ants. Ants are especially attracted to sweet and oily foods, so an unsealed honey jar, a forgotten piece of fruit on the counter, or a pet food dish can become an ant hotspot in no time. Outdoor picnics and barbecues are also part of the problem since ants will usually make their way inside after smelling remnants.
In order to avoid having ants infest, wipe down countertops, sweep the floor often, and place food in covered containers. Clean pet bowls and refrain from leaving dirty dishes overnight in the sink. If you see ants regularly in your kitchen, track them back to where they entered and close it. Bait stations can also be used to attack the root of the problem. By implementing some minor food storage and cleanliness adjustments, you are largely eliminating the potential for an ant issue in your home. LEARN MORE
