1. Keep Surfaces Clean

Ants are attracted to crumbs and spills. Wipe down countertops, sweep floors, and clean up any food debris immediately to remove their food source.

2. Seal Food Properly

Store food in airtight containers, especially sugary items like cereal, honey, and baked goods. Don’t forget to keep pet food sealed as well.

3. Eliminate Water Sources

Fix leaky faucets and wipe up standing water. Even a small puddle can attract ants looking for hydration.

4. Seal Entry Points

Inspect your home for cracks and gaps around doors, windows, and walls. Use caulk or weather stripping to seal these entry points and keep ants out.

5. Use Natural Deterrents

Try sprinkling cinnamon, vinegar, or citrus peels near areas where ants enter. These natural deterrents can help repel them without harmful chemicals.
