- Maintain Cleanliness:
- Proper Food Storage: Store food in sealed containers and keep countertops and floors clean to minimize ant attraction.

- Weather Stripping: Install weather stripping around doors and windows to block tiny openings ants could use to enter.
- Outdoor Maintenance:
- Trim Vegetation: Keep trees and shrubs trimmed away from your property to prevent overhanging branches and plants, which provide easy access for ants.
