Ants are a common nuisance in Ohio and can invade the inside of your home or business in no time, leaving you to deal with an infestation. On the bright side, there are measures you can take to combat them. You’ll want to start by identifying what is attracting the ants to your indoor space; usually, they are searching for food, namely the sugary kind. Once you’ve identified the source, make sure to clean it up immediately. Next, wipe up any existing ants by using a vinegar and water solution. Lastly, to keep them outside where they belong, schedule a perimeter pest control service. Pros will apply highly effective treatments to create a barrier around your home or business they can't penetrate.

Find out what is attracting the ants inside your home or business and clean it up!

If you notice ants inside your home or business, it's important to determine what is attracting them and take steps to eliminate the source. If they're invading, they are likely searching for food, particularly sweet or sugary substances. So, you'll want to thoroughly inspect your inside space and clean up any spills and crumbs. It's also important to clean dirty dishes and put them away, as any leftover food residue on them can attract these annoying pests. Then, you'll want to store accessible food in sealed containers to prevent ants from reaching it.

You'll want to make sure to take the trash out every night and keep pet food in sealed containers, as these can attract ants inside your home or business!

Wipe up any existing ants you see with a water and vinegar mixture.

When you spot ants in your inside space, it's crucial to take immediate action to eliminate them. A simple and effective method is to wipe them up using a mixture of water and vinegar. The vinegar not only kills the ants but also leaves a scent that they dislike, deterring others from following suit.
