Re: how to avoid Ants
Hi @Samara1,
Small black ants don't usually damage homes but can contaminate food and be a nuisance. If left unchecked, some species might build nests in walls or under floors, so early action is ideal.
To manage small black ants in your home, start by locating their entry points, typically cracks around windows, doors, or baseboards, and sealing them with caulk. Clean surfaces with a surface cleaning spray such as DIGGERS Lavender Multi-Purpose Surface Cleaner to erase ant trails. Ensure all food is stored in airtight containers. Regularly clean up crumbs, spills, and trash to eliminate potential food sources that attract ants.
If you can't stop them from getting in, Multicrop 1L EcoAnt Insect Spray is a good eco-friendly option for managing the ones that get through.
Let me know what you think and if you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Jacob

Re: how to avoid Ants
A mixture of borax and sugar with a little water placed on their trail will get rid of them
