Keep Ants Outside

Keep Ants Outside with On The Fly Pest Solutions

Ants are persistent little intruders that can quickly turn your home into an unwelcome playground. Fortunately, On The Fly Pest Solutions has some expert tips to help you keep these pesky invaders at bay.

1. Seal Entry Points

Ants can slip through the tiniest cracks and crevices. Inspect your home for any gaps around windows, doors, and the foundation. Use caulk or weather stripping to seal these entry points.

2. Keep Your Home Clean

Ants are often attracted to food crumbs and spills. Regularly clean your kitchen, dining area, and other places where food is consumed. Don’t forget to:

  • Wipe down countertops and tables.
  • Sweep and mop floors.
  • Store food in airtight containers.

3. Remove Food Sources

Ants are constantly foraging for food. Make sure to:

  • Take out the trash regularly.
  • Keep pet food dishes clean and stored when not in use.
  • Rinse recyclables before placing them in bins.

4. Maintain Proper Yard Care

Your yard can be a haven for ants. Keep it well-maintained by:

  • Trimming bushes and trees away from your home.
  • Removing piles of wood, leaves, and other debris.
  • Keeping mulch away from the foundation.

5. Use Natural Repellents

Certain natural substances can deter ants. Consider using:

  • Vinegar and water solution to clean surfaces.
  • Essential oils like peppermint, tea tree, and lemon.
  • Diatomaceous earth around entry points.

6. Fix Leaks and Eliminate Moisture

Ants are also attracted to water sources. Repair any leaky pipes, faucets, or water-damaged areas. Make sure your home is well-ventilated to reduce humidity levels.
