• Identify ant trails: Look for lines or clusters of ants to determine their entry points and main paths.
• Eliminate food sources: Keep countertops, floors, and other areas clean from food debris and crumbs.
• Seal entry points: Use caulk or weatherstripping to seal cracks and gaps in doors, windows, and walls.
• Use natural deterrents: Sprinkle cinnamon, peppermint oil, or vinegar along ant trails to deter them.
• Set bait traps: Place ant baits in strategic locations to attract and eliminate entire ant colonies.
• Maintain cleanliness: Regularly clean and sweep your home to remove any lingering food sources.
• Consult a professional: If the infestation persists despite your efforts, seek the assistance of a pest control expert.
