Ants like to take refuge inside when it starts to get colder out. They can invade sheds, garages and even inside of your home. They will become quite the nuisance as they can eat food that’s been left on the counter, or they can sting you while you are trying to sleep. Fortunately, there are some ways that you can keep ants out of your Phoenix area home this fall.

Replace Weatherstripping Around Your Exterior Doors
If your weather-stripping is worn, then ants may easily be able to access your home. Inspect your weather-stripping to see if you see any light coming inside or feel a draft. If you do, then you need to replace it if you want to keep ants and other insects out. It’s also a good time to check around your windows in order to make sure that they are properly sealed as well.

Deep Clean Of Your Home
You’d be surprised at how well ants can smell. They actually can smell a lot better than most insects, and they will be attracted to your home if there’s food crumbs around. This is why you need to deep clean your home periodically. Pay attention to areas where there may be crumbs lurking. Ants can easily smell even the smallest of food particles. Not only will your home look great before your holiday guests start to come over if you take the time to deep clean it now, but you will also lessen the likelihood of ants coming inside as well.

Rake Up Fallen Leaves
Ants are often present on leaves that have fallen to the ground. They like burrowing themselves under them so that they have a dark place to hide. Don’t get in the habit of just leaving the leaves on the ground as you are just encouraging ants to make their way into your home whenever they get a chance.

No one wants to deal with ants coming inside of their home. Fortunately, there are some ways that you can keep them from getting in this fall. By utilizing the tips mentioned above, you can ensure that you aren’t unintentionally creating easy access for ants to invade your interior space. If you do have issues with ants, give ACTION Termite & Pest Control a call today to get rid of them for you.
