Ants
Ants are the most common pest homeowners are familiar with. Two ants you can expect to meet in San Antonio are carpenter and fire ants. Carpenter ants will tunnel through the wooden structures of your home, while fire ants are aggressive and bite those on your property.
How to Keep Ants Away
-
Address moisture issues around your property, such as leaks inside and outside. In addition, it is essential to maintain clean gutters and ensure your yard has proper drainage.
-
Keep all food waste and trash placed in tightly sealed bags. Dispose of them promptly to stop the odor from attracting ants. It is also essential to store all leftover food properly, not to leave dirty dishes out, and clean up all food and liquid spills as soon as possible.
-
Keep your yard clean of debris, and the grass trimmed low, as this will reduce the number of hiding spots that ants have in your yard.
-
Inspect your home for potential ant entry points and seal up any gaps or cracks you find in your home's windows, doors, and foundation.
