Three Ways You are Attracting Ants Into Your Home


When you see ants in your home, where are they coming from? Ants don’t just wander anywhere and decide to settle in. Find out more about why ants seem to be attracted to your home and why you’ll need pest control in Monmouth County for infestations.

Moisture 

Ants look for places that provide them with water. That’s why you might see ants in your bathroom or near your kitchen sink. Some ants nest near pipes, toilets or sinks due to the constant moisture these places hold. Fix leaks and avoid having standing water around.

Food Sources

Ants tend to build nests in areas that provide them with easy access to food. These pests look for crumbs and other food debris, such as spills. Cleaning your floor and counters, taking out your garbage daily and sealing food in airtight containers can keep ants away.

Easy Entry Points

Ants check for areas of your home that are easy to get into. You should close up any openings that are around your doors and windows or on the exterior of your home, such as cracks or gaps. Our pest control experts can help you identify and eliminate entry points for ants to prevent more from getting in.
