Getting rid of ants can prove to be impossible, regardless any chemicals you may use. Besides, if you have pets, you cannot use any poisonous substances, as they may harm your pet.

Here’s what you can do to temper a bit those small enemies:

  • Never leave food on your table; keep everything in recipients with lids
  • Make sure you don’t leave breadcrumbs on the floor or on the table after you eat.
  • Wash and vacuum clean your floors after each meal, and make sure you choose those flooring options which don’t allow ants to lay their eggs between the tiles.
  • Try to prepare some traps for the ants, using Sodium Bicarbonate moistured with water. It seems ants hate that stuff.

Besides all those, you can always put some nets at your windows. There’s less air coming in, but less insects too.
