The last thing that anyone wants when they open up their leftovers of ingredients in their pantry is to find ants in it. They drag bacteria and germs with them, making it risky to eat any food that they have been on. In addition to this fact, where you see one ant, chances are there will be another.
Ants send scouts out to find food and to then report back on it to the colony. They will return to these spots in greater numbers as they continue to find food. You can do everything that you can to properly seal up all your food and dry ingredients to guard against them, but it may be more difficult than it seems.
The problem is that they are not simply after the food that you will eat. They also go after the food that you have eaten and thrown out. The garbage is another hot spot for ants. Crumbs are yet another. And you might not even think of them as something that needs to be dealt with, but they really are.
For this reason, sweeping our floors and cleaning your counters regularly are necessary tasks. You should also invest in a garbage with a lid, and seal any cracks into your house and under your doors that you can find. These will help to stop an ant infestation in their tracks.
If you already have an ant problem you can turn to retail sprays if you wish. This is not your best option however. They have been known to cause harm to pets, and if applied incorrectly can also do you harm if you breath in the fumes. Your best option is to hire professional ant control services.
