Ants in your plants?
As summer approaches,
ants are more likely to infest your community. By learning how ants behave and
recognizing their calling cards, operators can successfully prevent the
problems they cause, according to BASF. Among the most effective preventive
actions: inspect the exterior perimeter of buildings for signs of ants. It also
helps to eliminate access to food sources (especially grease, crumbs and
sweets). Operators also are advised to rinse containers before placing them in
garbage bags and routinely clean floors, countertops and around appliances.
Finally, be sure to seal cracks around windows and doors and fix all plumbing
leaks.
