Proper Countermeasures
The first step is to check your yard for any nests or mounds. If you find one, you can use a pesticide to destroy it. The poisonous liquid or powder will devastate the ants, and their plans to invade your home will be thwarted as a result. If you store your food properly, clean your home regularly and maintain your outdoor space, you can make your lawn and your home less vulnerable to an ant invasion.
While ants often look to build their nests in warm and moist places, they can live in trees and other dry areas. For this reason, you should remove big branches and logs out of your yard, and consider limiting the amount of plants and mulch that you put around your home. Laying down baits near possible entry points, replacing damaged weatherstrips on windows and fixing timeworn door screens will go a long way toward keeping these stealthy biters at bay. However, even if you take all of these countermeasures and stay on the offensive, you will likely have an ant problem until you let a professional pest exterminator step in with a more effective solution.
