Step 5: Treat Entry Points
Spray around doors, windows, cracks, and any small openings where ants may be entering. This helps prevent new ants from finding their way inside.
Step 6: Optional Baking Soda Treatment
For persistent infestations, sprinkle baking soda near entry points or along trails.
Baking soda is generally safe around humans and pets, but when ingested by ants, it disrupts their digestive system and helps eliminate them.
Step 7: Keep the Area Clean
Prevention is key:
-
Wipe up crumbs immediately
-
Store food in airtight containers
-
Fix leaks and remove standing water
A clean space makes your home far less attractive to ants.
