✅ How to Get Rid of Ants
1. Eliminate Food Sources
Keep surfaces clean, store food in sealed containers, and wipe up spills immediately.
2. Seal Entry Points
Use caulking to close cracks around windows, doors, and foundations.
3. Use Ant Baits and Traps
Commercial ant baits attract ants, which then carry the poison back to the colony.
4. Call a Professional
For infestations, DIY won’t be enough. Book a professional ant removal service with us for long-term relief.
