Signs of an Ant Infestation

Early detection is vital to prevent a full-blown infestation. Be vigilant for:

  • Visible Ant Trails: Consistent lines of ants moving to and from food or water sources.​ 

  • Nesting Sites: Piles of soil or wood shavings indicating nesting activity 

  • Rustling Noises: Soft sounds within walls or woodwork, suggesting movement of ants like carpenter ants.​ 

  • Discarded Wings: Presence of wings from swarmers (reproductive ants) near windowsills and doors.​​

Ant Prevention
Tips

Implementing proactive measures can significantly reduce the risk of ant infestations:

  • Maintain Cleanliness: Regularly clean floors and countertops to eliminate food residues.​ 

  • Store Food Properly: Keep food items in sealed containers to deter foraging ants.​

  • Eliminate Moisture: Repair leaky pipes and ensure proper drainage to remove water sources that attract ants.​

  • Seal Entry Points: Close gaps and cracks around doors, windows, and foundations to prevent ant access.​ 

  • Manage Landscaping: Trim vegetation away from structures and remove decaying wood or debris near the home.​​
