Top 5 Ways to Keep Ants Out of Your Kitchen

We all love spring, but with spring comes ants. There’s nothing pleasant about a trail of ants in your kitchen, so follow these top 5 tips to keep ants from marching into your home:

1. Inspect your home to see where ants could possibly be entering. Ants are tiny little insects, so look closely! If you do find a small opening, fill it with caulk to prevent their invasion.

2. Keep food debris off your floors. This sounds like common sense, but if you have children in your home this is easier said than done. Make it a habit to watch for small crumbs, especially near an entrance to your home. Ants can find it before you see it!

3. Clean your surfaces with vinegar. Not only is this an environmentally friendly cleaner, ants hate the smell of vinegar so it’s a natural deterrent.

4. Clean your house with lemon juice. Just like vinegar, this is another environmentally friendly cleaner that will leave your house smelling fresh!

5. Sprinkle cinnamon at your entrances. This will keep ants from entering your home’s doorways!
