How to Get Ants Upstairs
WouterHaving ants inside your home can be a huge problem. They can make it difficult to sleep and may carry diseases. There are many ways to keep them out. Using a pest control company can help.
The first step to keeping ants out is to find out where they are getting into your home. Some common places that ants are entering your home are through holes in the wall, utility lines, and leaks.
Another common place for ants to enter is through holes in the roof. These holes can be caused by leaky ridge vents, which aren’t well-installed. These holes allow air and water to get into your home.
Once ants enter your home, they seek out food and water. They want a place where they can stay and maintain a steady source of food. They can also enter through holes in your plumbing system.
To keep ants from entering your home, trim any branches of trees that are near the walls of your home. Tree limbs can also act as bridges that ants use to enter your home.
Another way to keep ants out of your home is to use peppermint essential oil. You can spray this on your baseboards or baseboard holes. The oil will repel cockroaches and mice, and can deter ants.
You can also use cinnamon to repel ants. Cinnamon can be used as a powder or as a stick. You can also draw a border around the entry point with a Q-tip dipped in cinnamon oil.
