As the weather starts to warm up, it’s not just humans who emerge from their winter hibernation. Ants, too, are coming out of their hiding places and looking for food and water. And while these tiny creatures may seem harmless, they can quickly become a nuisance and even cause damage to your home.

Here are some basic tips and tricks to help ant-proof your home:

• Keep your home clean and tidy — This is one of the easiest ways to prevent ants from entering your home. Sweep and mop regularly, and wipe down counters and tables after meals. Don’t leave dirty dishes in the sink, and make sure all food is stored properly in airtight containers.
• Seal up entry points — Ants are small and can enter your home through even the tiniest cracks and crevices. Block possible entry points by caulking windows and doors, and filling in any gaps in your walls. Also, make sure your screens are clear of holes and are in good condition.
• Eliminate standing water — Like us, ants need water to survive, so eliminating standing water around your home is essential. Check for leaky pipes and faucets, and fix them promptly. Remember not to overwater your lawn or garden.
• Trim trees and bushes — Ants love to use trees and bushes as a bridge to get inside your home. Do a quick scan around your residence and trim back any branches or bushes that touch your house or roof.
• Use natural repellents — Several natural repellents that are effective at repelling ants are peppermint oil, vinegar, and cinnamon. Place these items in areas where ants are likely to enter, such as around doors and windows
