When the ants come marching into your kitchen, they are not going to back down!! And, when you are not prepared, you could be squishing them without any hope of getting rid of them all. Don't wait until it's too late. Take preventative measures to ensure they are not going to invade your kitchen. Here are some great tips for keeping them out!
Block Entry Points: Ants are sneaky! And their small stature means they can fit through very small spaces. So make sure you take time to block entry points around your home. It's difficult to spot them all so be sure to call BugLink to help get your home sealed up!
Keep It Clean: You may think you at doing a great job of sweeping the floor and wiping the countertops, but even the smallest spill is attractive to an ant, whether it's on the floor or the countertop. Be sure to regularly and thoroughly clean your kitchen. Don't forget to clear the crumbs from under the toaster!!!!! You may be surprised!
Watch the Source: It's important to eliminate sources that can attract ants. Open food containers, specks of sugar that spill out bag, dog food left out, these are just a few problem areas. Try storing these kinds of item in sealed containers that can block ants from getting in. Also, be mindful of the trash. Take it out daily if possible. Finally, water sources can attract ants, so make sure you fix any leaky pipes or dripping faucets.
