When it comes to controlling ants, the sooner you can get in front of the problem the better. In fact, the ideal scenario is that you have ongoing year-round pest management to prevent the ants from ever making their way into your home in the first place. While one ant might not seem like a big deal, it’s important to know that it’s just the beginning. If that ant discovers a food source, it’s going to leave a trail of pheromones signaling other ants to come on in. Once that happens, it won’t be long until you’re pantries are completely invaded with ants.
What’s unique about ants is that they are willing to travel very long distances to find food and because of their size, they can enter your home through almost any crack or crevice. This makes them hard to keep out without a professional pest management plan.
