Ants are often attracted to areas where they can find food, water, and shelter. Ensure all foodstuffs are tightly sealed, and surfaces are clean to deter them.
Natural ant repellents include lemon juice, vinegar, peppermint oil, and cinnamon. Apply these substances to ant trails and entry points.
Some species, like carpenter ants, can damage structures. Others may contaminate food and create unpleasant sights and smells.
Regularly clean surfaces, seal entry points, and store food properly. For persistent problems, professional pest control is recommended.
