Ants are like squatters -awful houseguests, unwanted, they get into everything and are in no rush to leave. Now we are headed into June, July and August, our hot months, the three ants you are likely to run into are the carpenter ants, the pavement ants and the grease ants. Of course the carpenter ant is really out to destroy your house, the grease and pavement ants are really just an announce. Here are a few ways to keep the ants outside. First, like momma always said, keep your kitchen clean. Ants like to feed on proteins and carbohydrates, so any food that hits the floor should get cleaned up ASAP – as there is always the potential for a scout ant nearby that will alert the ant troops. Carpenter ants are drawn to moist areas in your home like bathrooms, windows, basements. They build satellite nests to serve as a pipeline for resources, to store food, eggs, larva and reproductives. Next, put out ant baits, those small round tins that every hardware store sells. Buy a couple different brands and watch the ants lap this up. Of course, this isn’t going to stop them entirely but they do slow down the growth of ant colonies. And finally, the good old fashion way to keep the ants at bay is to just stomp on them. If you are experiencing an overwhelming number of ants in your house, contact us at go green pest control.ca and we will be happy to illuminate your ants.
