We’re talking about rogue ants that take their job of finding food sources seriously. As soon as you spot them in your kitchen or living room, you can be sure that more ants are coming.
Never leave evidence of your meals and snacks around your house unless you want to share your home with an entire colony of ants. Wiping down common surfaces, sweeping and vacuuming on a regular basis, storing food in sealed containers, and cleaning up dirty dishes will eliminate possible food sources from spills or crumbs.
Search for areas in andaround your house that could become potential entryways for ants. Among theirfavorite portals of entry are cracks around your windows and doors. Sealingthese off and the foundation of your home with caulking will eradicate theants’ obvious entrances. Since sealants can degrade over time, be sure to checkif reapplication is needed.
