Living with a colony of ants in the house is not easy at all, especially when our food is infested, and we have to throw it away. Ants, particularly in the summer during the breeding and larval development period, require a lot of food.
The presence of ants in the home and in domestic environments such as the kitchen, dining room, or bathroom, represents a potential danger to humans, as ants carry pathogens and risk contaminating our food. This is especially true in areas where they are most likely to find food scraps, which they can begin to store for the winter.
The sense of smell of these pesky insects is so developed that even small crumbs on the floor immediately attract them to food, bringing with them a wide array of “family members,” even from hundreds of meters away.
One of the fundamental remedies for eradicating ant repellent is to ensure that no crumbs are left on the floor. More importantly, it is necessary to keep each room of the house clean to avoid a high probability of infestation. Therefore, always wash the dishes, shake the tablecloth well over the trash, and sweep after eating. These are effective tips against ants, ideal for preventing the scents of food residues from attracting them in large numbers. If you are infested with ants, whether in your garden or at home, a natural ant repellent could be useful to you, such as apple cider vinegar, chalk or talc, lemon juice, ground coffee, mint, and citrus and cucumber peels. Of course, there are other remedies on the market, particularly chemical repellents, which must be used with caution as, if misused, they can be harmful to humans.
For anyone who has to deal with these pests, whether at home, in the office, or in other situations, it’s important to contact a professional immediately to prevent the infestation from spreading, making tracking difficult and thus eliminating it. These services guarantee a swift and safe pest control, disinfection intervention, thanks to the collaboration of qualified and professional staff.
