Every spring in Metro Vancouver, around this time of year, the six-legged scavengers invade our homes.Related Ant scouts enter your home looking for crumbs, spills, oil and grease, and any accessible items in your pantry. Behind them, they leave an invisible trail that will be followed by an army of their ant friends and relatives.We asked Mike Londry of Westside Pest Control for his tips on what to do if a colony of ants has invaded your home.
“Cinnamon is awesome. You don’t need a wall of it but just spread it liberally around the corners of the door,” said Londry. “You want to do it right away when you first see ants, because once they are established and they understand the kitchen counter is where the food is at, cinnamon is not going to stop them.”Londry says the liquid ant bait sold at hardware stores is a good solution for small ant invasions.
“Mix the domestic product with some sort of sweet substance like apple juice and put it out in some sort of application tool like an upside-down bottle cap,” he said. “They’ve gone all winter with no food so even the low-concentrated domestic products will be too strong and kill them. You want them to take the bait back to the nest.”Those little ants coming in from outside to scavenge for food are likely harmless pavement ants. Carpenter ants, which measure 6-12 mm long, are a bigger problem.
