How Ants Get In Your House

You can always find the place from which ants are entering your home. Just follow the trails of the ants as they make their way into your house to the food that they have got wind off. You can even create these trails by laying out some sugar as bait. Once you have spotted these ingress points, see whether it is in anyway a crack or some such, which you can seal. Using a silicone sealant is the best way to make a permanent seal. Maybe the seals around the doors or window jambs are not good enough and allow the ants to come in through them. In that case you can get somebody to redo these seals or alternatively place some red chili pepper, dried peppermint or borax at these entry points. The ants will keep away from these and may solve your ant problems.
