You may have noticed that ants are more likely to enter your home in the summer. This is because most insects are more active during the warmer months. Ants sometimes enter the house in search of water, especially during the dry season.
In this case, we might see them in the bathroom or a damp part of the house. Heavy rains can also cause ant nests to flood and force them to move into nearby buildings, such as our homes.
Fallen crumbs and food scraps can attract all kinds of insects, including ants. Usually ants come in swarms, swarming over sugary foods or drinks, hollow walls, plants, trash cans so they can get into electronics, such as laptops.
The first step to dealing with ants in your home is to ensure they don't have access to food.
Seal all food in airtight containers. Clean the back of the refrigerator and toaster. Don't leave pet food out longer than necessary. Also make sure our trash cans are tightly closed. In general, make sure there is no food that attracts ants. Seal cracks and holes in walls. This will also prevent them from nesting in wall cavities.
If the ant problem has gotten out of hand, contact a professional ant control service rather than trying to use ant bombs or similar insect sprays that do not address the ant problem at its root.
DIY (do it yourself) methods rarely work because ants mostly live in sheltered places (such as underground or in walls). You might kill some worker ants, but it probably won't harm the colony.
If you use Pest Control Services, look for a professional service that uses pesticides that are environmentally friendly and harmless to living things and plants because ants can be found anywhere. ETOS Indonusa uses environmentally friendly pesticides so as not to endanger humans and the surrounding environment.
