Ants are notoriously hard to get rid of, which makes them one of the most dreaded pests to have in your home. These pests are among the main reasons that homeowners contact Allison Pest Control NJ. Here’s what you need to know if you have a big problem with these tiny pests in your home.
• Don’t encourage more of them. While battling an ant infestation, it’s important to lower your risk of attracting more of these pests. Wipe off all kitchen surfaces, including your sink and counters, on a regular basis to get rid of crumbs and other food particles. You can eliminate the chemical trails ants leave behind for other ants by cleaning with vinegar and water, although this is a short-term solution.
• Find the nest if possible. Locating an ant nest indoors or outdoors can help you deal with an infestation. Keep in mind that some nests can be difficult to locate, such as those that are inside walls, and outdoor nests can be hard to destroy. You’re better off letting pest control professionals handle this task.
• Determine which ants you have. There are different treatment plans, depending on the ants. Common species include carpenter ants, pharaoh ants, sugar ants, and pavement ants.
