Eliminating Ants in and around the house by the Best Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL., Dial-A-Maid. Ants have a sneaky way to enter our homes and our environment. A little bit of sugar from a cookie that has fallen, or even the top of a soda can entice ants to gather, says the Best Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL., Dial-A-Maid. Try to sweep up all the areas after eating, and wash any soda cans before storing them in the recyclables. Ants will not be attracted to the crumbs and sweetness and you will greatly have eliminated your ant problem. However, it is not possible to always sweep and wash any containers, before storing them. A few tips on this video is well worth the watching, says the Best Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL., Dial-A-Maid.

If you are having a picnic, get some disposable tin pie pans and place them under the legs of the table. Fill them with some water. The ants will not be able to circumvent the water and crawl up the table legs to the food, says the Best Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL., Dial-A-Maid.

For inside of the house, an effective trap is to place inside a small, plastic, disposable container, 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoons of Borax. Drip a little water into the mixture, as with a straw, until the consistency is like Maple Syrup. Seal the container with the top and place some small holes in it's side, with a toothpick. Try to find the colony so you know where the ants congregate. Place it near there. The ants will be attracted to the sugar and will take it back to their colony. The Borax Powder will kill them all, says the Best Residential House Cleaning and Maid Service in Evanston, IL., Dial-A-Maid.
