Pest control starts with ant prevention. If you don’t already have an ant problem, or you have just removed ants from your space, taking steps to prevent an ant infestation are important. Since ants are attracted to sweeter foods, it is important to keep your home clean. Be sure that all open foods are wrapped or sealed and stored away from the ground. This will help prevent ants from being attracted to them. Another important step to take to prevent ants is to make it more challenging for them to enter your home. Inspect your home’s exterior and look for any cracks or gaps in the foundation, windows, or sidings. Seal these potential entry points up so that the ants can’t use them to access your home.
