| Ant Control
In conjunction with our Pest Repeller Program there are a few
things you can do to help rid your home of Ants quicker.
Ant Control Begins by
taking a few simple steps. Have you ever woken up, wandered into your kitchen, to
find a trail of Ants 5 feet long extending to a piece of food that was left out
on your kitchen counter overnight? Have you ever gone to feed you cat or dog,
only to find that the food bowl is swarming in a black cloud of Ants? One of the
first and most important steps in Ant Control is eliminating the food
sources. Some Ants are attracted to sweet smelling food while others are
attracted to oily foods. By simply sealing foods in containers, or zip tight
bags you are eliminating possible feeding sources for the ants and taking an important step
in effective Ant Control. Thoroughly scrub floors and counter
tops. Small spills like juice or salad dressing, bread crumbs, pet food and
spilt milk all provide Ants with a nice reserve of food. Clean out cabinets and pantries
making sure to get into corners and harder to reach areas. In the Bathroom clean
the floors, cabinets, counter tops bathtubs and toilets thoroughly, they can all be a rich source
of food for Ants. This cleaning and scrubbing will be a big part in your Ant
Control efforts and will greatly reduce the
chances that Ants will look for food in your house. Leaving dirty dishes out or
food on the counter can also attract ants. Basically do your best to clean
everything, seal foods in containers, and keep a tidy home.
The next step in Effective Ant Control is eliminating their water sources. Ants need
water and they find it from leaky faucets, water left on a dish, leaky pipes,
condensation on pipes, catch pots, toilets bathtubs, etc. Ant control will be
more effective if you eliminate the majority of these water sources. It
would be virtually impossible to eliminate all water sources but the less water
available to the Ants the more they feel a need to seek water outside you home or
office. It is an important step in Ant control to eliminate the door ways,
meaning those little holes Ants seem to find entrance from their nests in the
walls to your living areas such as your kitchen or bathrooms. one easy way of
finding these door ways is instead of killing all the Ants at first sight watch
them and see where they are coming from. The best thing to do is first avoid
disturbing them even if you breath on them they are likely to scatter. Follow
the trail from the food source right to the crevice at the base of your counter
top or into you cupboard or where ever the Ants lead you, through the little nail hole they are pouring out
of etc. Once you find their door way you have a few options you can go smashing
them, spray them with pesticides, or just live with them, not any more. Here are the
options that we suggest if you absolutely cannot handle the sight of them spray
the trail with your household cleaner and wipe them up. Clean the counters where
they were marching back and forth Ants have left behind chemicals to tell each
other where the food is and future ants will follow it to the source but if you
clean up the trail it will eliminate the Chemical road map signals the Ants may
have left behind. Once you have taken the proper steps go through out your house
focusing on the
areas you have seen Ants and fill all cracks and crevices, all those potential
door ways, especially any doorways where you saw Ants coming from.
The door ways can be sealed with caulking, expanding foam, tape, steal wool,
plaster or what ever else you can find that won't detract from the appearance of
your home or office. The Pest Repeller Programs Electronic Pest Control
