If you’re a homeowner, you’ve likely encountered an ant problem before.
At ABI PEST, we know how frustrating a never ending ant problem can be for your home or your business.
In fact, ants are the number two household pest after termites in Western Australia. These pests may be small, but their colonies can grow to large numbers—before you know it, you could have ants marching in lines throughout your entire property.
Seeing just a few ants in your home from time to time can signal that a larger problem is to come. So how do you stop an ant infestation before it begins? The key to ant control is prevention. A few simple measures can reduce the likelihood of inviting hoards of ants into your home, saving you from the frustration of getting rid of them. Preventing these pests requires just two easy steps to make your property less attractive to the pests in the first place. ABI PEST recommend the following to keep ants out of your home:
- Keep a clean home. Ants are attracted to food spills, crumbs, and even your pet’s food. Regularly sweep or vacuum your home, especially in the kitchen around your appliances. Securely store both your and your pet’s food in sealed, airtight containers.
- Seal entry points. Many ants utilize the tiniest of crevices to get inside your property. Inspect the perimeter of your home for easy pest entry points and seal them off. You may also use caulk around your window sills and doors for tiny cracks or openings.
- If all of the above doesn’t work, keep calm and call ABI PEST. Getting rid of ants can be difficult, making it important to work with an ant control expert you trust.
