3 Things To Do When You Find Ants In Your Kitchen

FacebookTweetPinPrintLinkedIn

No one ever wants to find ants in the place where they prepare and eat their food. But since ants like to eat too, the kitchen is one of the most likely places that you are to find ants in your home. So when this happens, it’s good to know what steps to take to get these ants out of your kitchen and away from your food and family.

To help you see how this can be done, here are three things to do when you find ants in your kitchen.

Figure Out Their Path

The very first thing you should do when you first notice an ant or two in your kitchen is to see if you can figure out the path they are on, either where they are coming from or where they are going.

If you’re able to figure out their path, you can then take steps that will help you eliminate those ants from your kitchen. Whether the ants are on the floor and coming from your back door or you find them around your kitchen backsplash, knowing where they are will make it much easier for you to kill them and get rid of whatever it is that might be leading them to that place in the first place.

Eliminate Their Food Sources

Once you know where the ants are coming from and where they are going, you then have to uncover why it is that they are wanting to come into your kitchen in the first place.

One of the biggest reasons why they are coming into your kitchen is likely to get food to bring back to their colony. Knowing this, you’ll want to do everything you can to eliminate their food sources. This should include things like putting away all of your food in air tight containers, cleaning up any food messes or spills as soon as they happen, and keeping any standing water to a minimum. By doing things like this, ants shouldn’t be as drawn to come into your kitchen.

Use Repellents You’re Comfortable With

There are all kinds of repellents available that you can use to keep ants and other pests away from your kitchen. Some of these are going to be more natural, like lemon, pepper, or borax, while others will be more chemical-based.

The choice that you make for repellents in your kitchen should be based on what you’re comfortable with having in your home and around the food that you’re preparing and eating. Some options might work better than others, so you may have to do some trial and error to find what repellents will work best for you and the ants in your kitchen.

If you find ants in your kitchen one day, consider using the tips mentioned above to help you know how to address this situation.
