Following these tips can also help prevent their spread in your home:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Never leave trash bags sit on the ground or a patio as food in bags will attract ants once their regular food sources have washed away. Put\u00a0trash bags in an outdoor trash can that has a well-fitted lid.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Never leave food, including crumbs, or dirty dishes\u00a0sitting out on counters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.allisonpest.com\/\">Allison Pest Control<\/a>\u00a0is a Freehold NJ exterminator and pest control expert.
