Ants in the house: why and how:
It is not by chance that hundreds of ants end up in your home; they are insects that seek to survive and they go where conditions permit. Here are two main things that attract ants:
Misplaced food (of any type), sugary crumbs on the floor because that’s what the ants feed on.
Damp wood attracts ants by its smell, carpenter ants live there.
To prevent an ant invasion in the house, you must first remove the food and the habitat. But that’s not all…
The most useful thing is to close the access doors for ants in your house, here are some doors not to be missed:
The cracks in your windows, especially those in the garden as they are the most easily accessible route.
The gaps in the walls.
How to recognize an ant infestation:
If you encounter ants in your home EVERY day, it is probably an infestation, since passing ants leave the house in less than a week.
If their number is large, it is in favor of a colony.
At night, you find out (using a torch) that the ants line up, follow each other, and take a route to a hole in the wall. There you are sure it’s an infestation.
But what danger do ants have?
In concrete terms, none. Ants are harmless insects that play a big role in biodiversity and you do not risk any disease transmitted by these insects. The only real problem with ants is that they are very annoying, especially when they colonize your food. It’s also very unpleasant to see them all the time, every day, even when there are guests!! In short, you have to get rid of ants.
