Though they have inspired humans since long, ants are beyond any doubt a constant source of annoyance if they invade your own territory. The next thing you do is invest on all commercial ant control measures to obtain a few days of relief; as soon as they can get empty, they are again all over the place. So what’s the deal? The thing is ants have their own hideouts that are not taken into consideration by most of the indoor pest control procedures; you got to understand that if the ants are eradicated completely, the pesticide manufacturing companies shall run out of business. Therefore, take the help of appropriate ant control measures but also apply some thoughts to it. You shall soon find ant control to be something that’s completely within your grasp. However, the process is an intricate one and may sometimes tear your patience; if that’s the case, a professional indoor Pest Control Sydney company should be your choice. Otherwise, organic ant control measures are the thing for you. Chemical pesticides kill all; organic ant control methods don’t. Neither do they pose any health risk or kill beneficial insects or disrupt an ecological balance. Much more beneficial than its chemical siblings, organic indoor pest control products and methods primarily use natural plant extracts to destroy an insect’s respiratory/nervous system besides keeping them off of the edge of your own territory. Organic ant control stays effective for longer periods and also affects the Queen, contrary to chemical solutions that are sprayed merely to control the visible ones. But then again, with organic pest control procedures, you need to locate the nest entrances (especially an indoor nest) for the process to show maximum results. If that sounds an impossible task for you, a professional with a larger arsenal of ant control products remains the only other option. But that comes later; to start off, try out a few of the organic ant control methods yourself. You must know why ants invade houses. Primarily, it’s for food and then, for shelter. Spraying soapy water near every inlet to the house is an effective preventive measure; just make sure that it doesn’t fall on the floor. Apart from this, you must also keep food in airtight containers (including pet food); get rid of organic wastes immediately (vacuuming works wonders) and seal every crack you suspect to be an abode for the ants. A silicone caulk can be used to block their passage and a little boric acid in the cracks is always recommended.

Thanks for your blog on ant control. My sister noticed that there are colonies of ant in the kitchen, and she firstly noticed it two weeks ago. I agree with what you said about the reason why ants invade house. Hopefully, the chemicals used aren’t bad when inhaled.
