Ants
About
Ants are insects that are closely related to wasps and bees. Ants nest and forage for food in many habitats, including our yards and homes. In our region, ants that frequently find their way to our properties are carpenter ants, odorous house ants, and black ants.
Most ants are harmless, not causing significant harm to people or property. They are, however, annoying and, in our homes, do unpleasant things like spread bacteria to surfaces and contaminate our stored foods. While most household ants are not a significant threat, carpenter ants are a species that you should be concerned about. When they enter our houses and other structures, they not only cause the usual problems, but they can also cause structural damage. It is best to address a problem with ants on your property as quickly as possible.
Here are some helpful tips to keep ants away from your home.
Remove water-damaged wood from in or around your home.
Repair cracks in the foundation and spaces under and around windows and doors.
Eliminate foraging sites by keeping lids on trash cans, maintaining a clean kitchen, and regularly vacuuming.
