Eating outside is one of the best parts about summer, but unfortunately, these pesky pests tend to put a damper on this. Whether it’s a fun picnic in the park or dinner off the grill, the last thing you want is uninvited guests.

WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT THESE UNWANTED GUESTS?

One of the best way to get rid of them is to eliminate standing water. They are attracted to moisture. Another, is to make sure tree branches and other shrubs don’t touch your home structure. Also, check to see if there are cracks or openings around the bottom of your home’s walls. If there are, seal them with caulking. Firewood and debris should not be stored up against your house, as ants love wet stacks of wood.
