On Earth, ants outnumber humans 140,000:1. However, that doesn't mean they need to become guests at your house. You can keep them out by destroying their nest, removing their food sources, building barriers, and baiting their scouts. Read on to learn how to stop ants from coming into your home uninvited.
1. Seal off all entrance areas. Since ants are tiny, they can find thousands of tiny doorways into your residence. Some of them are easy to identify; others will only be discovered when there's a parade of ants marching through them. First, figure out where the ants are entering the house: follow the trail of ants to see where they're entering and leaving your home. Seal all the entrance holes that you can find using silicone caulk, putty, glue or plaster. Temporary methods might include petroleum jelly or poster tack.
2. Seal cracks with caulk. Close the gaps around windows, doors, and walls. Block off any space that might permit passage to an ant army. Your sealing efforts will be most effective if you're thorough.
3. Line suspected entryways with anti-ant substances. This is a somewhat more aggressive tactic than simply caulking up the cracks. You can create barriers of chemicals and powders that repel— even kill— unwitting ants. Consider diatomaceous earth, salt, and even commercial ant poisons. This might function as a form of baiting.
4. Make a tape barrier. Line your kitchen with adhesive tape, sticky-side up. No poison or messy powders necessary. When ants try to climb over the tape, they may stick to the adhesive – effectively stopping them in their tracks. Make sure that the ants can't crawl under the tape; try using double-sided tape, or taping the back of the tape to your floors, walls, and counters so that there is no room for ants underneath.
5. Try using nontoxic ant deterrents. You can also defend your home with scents and substances that ants don't like. Consider some combination of vinegar, peppermint oil, cinnamon, black pepper, cayenne pepper, whole cloves, and bay leaves.
