Things You'll Need:

Step 1
During the spring, ants will try to travel inside a home to look for food. First you need to seal any cracks around the doors and windows to eliminate any point of entry.
-
Step 2
Second, make sure you have clean floors and a clean kitchen. If you have crumbs on the floor you will attract ants. Vacuum, sweep, scrub the floor or carpet to remove food, crumbs and scent of food.

Step 3
Third, spray insecticide around the entry points. You may have to spray your entry points more than once during the year.
-
Step 4
If you have ants right now and you don't have the resources to seal, clean or spray try flour. I tried flour and it worked. I put flour in the entry point and the ant trail in my living room. The ants died and didn't come back. Then I cleaned, sealed and sprayed.
