Do you know how an ant infestation begins? It is likely to start with one tiny little ant that finds food in your home. What happens is that one ant brings a piece of the food back to its nest. As it travels, it lays down an invisible trail of pheromones. Other worker ants smell the pheromones and follow the trail to the food. As they make their way back to the nest, guess what they do? They add to the trail. As the scent of the trail grows, so does the number of ants following it, and the invisible trail turns into a very visible trail. You'll see the ants. You'll also see them as they swarm in the area of the food. Ant swarms are often the reason Dallas residents reach out to local pest control for assistance. But there are far more important reasons to address ant infestations than simply because they are a disturbing nuisance. Let's take a look at a few of the risk factors associated with ant problems.

When ants find food in your home, it can inspire them to enter your home in large numbers. If ants enter in large numbers, some ants can create an indoor nest. Reducing food options can make ants go away and prevent your problems from worsening. Try using the following tips to minimize food available to ants:
Ongoing and sustained control of food sources is your best tool for ant control and prevention.
Ants need water to drink. They can even collect water droplets and carry them on their backs. If you have a moisture problem in your home, it can instigate an ant problem.
A dry home is no place for an ant – unless the ants are living in your home and finding water to drink outdoors.
As you drive ants out of your home, you'll want to block the holes they used to invade your home in the first place. You can do this with home repair and pest-proofing materials, such as a caulking gun or cans of expanding foam.
No entry point is too small for a tiny ant. Apply these exclusions indoors and outdoors for extra protection.
Once you're done indoors, apply the same techniques around your home. Consider potential food sources and address them. Reduce moisture and puddles. Remove hiding places for ants, such as underneath leaves, inside brush piles, or under objects stored near your home.
You can have a big impact on ants by applying natural pest maintenance. For added protection, you can get started with a residential pest control plan.
