How Do I Keep Ants Out of the House?
No one wants to find ants invading their home. Keeping your house clean by sweeping, mopping, and storing food in airtight containers can significantly reduce the risk. Seal cracks and gaps in your walls or foundation to block entry points.
If ants persist, professional help is the best solution. Hydrex Pest Control provides expert treatments to eliminate infestations and protect your home from future invasions.

Can Ants Cause Property Damage?
Much like termites, ants can cause significant property damage. Known as the most destructive type of ant, carpenter ants eat their way through wood in order to form nests. With their colonies often containing more than 10,000 workers, carpenter ants can seriously jeopardize the structural integrity of a home over time.
Additional threats of ants include:
- Food contamination: Ants are carriers of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, which can be transferred to food and food surfaces.
- Harmful bites and stings: While all ants are capable of biting or stinging, only a few species (i.e., fire ants) actually do. Ant bites and stings can result in pain, redness, swelling, and allergic reactions.
- Increased pest activity: Other pests, such as spiders, birds, flies, and wasps, feed on ants. A property infested with ants will be more attractive to these types of pests, potentially resulting in multiple infestations.
If you’re dealing with an ant infestation, Hydrex Pest Control is here to help. Our skilled Petaluma ant control technicians restore comfort and safety to your property as quickly as possible.
What Do Ants Eat?
Ants are omnivorous, which means they’ll eat just about anything. Some of their favorite foods include insect eggs, fruits, vegetables, meat, sugar, sap, seeds, grease, and oils. Because they’ll eat anything, it is very important to store your food properly.

Common Mistakes in Ant Prevention
Preventing ants starts with avoiding common mistakes homeowners in Petaluma and nearby areas often make. Here are a few pitfalls to address:
- Ignoring leaks or standing water: Ants are highly attracted to moisture, and leaks under sinks, around pipes, or in basements can become hotspots. In Petaluma's mild climate, standing water outdoors can also create breeding grounds for ants.
- Overlooking outdoor debris: Local yards often feature wood piles, mulch, or leaf litter, which ants use for shelter. Regular yard maintenance is crucial to preventing infestations.
- Using ineffective DIY remedies: Store-bought sprays may kill visible ants but often fail to eradicate the entire colony. Without treating the source, infestations will likely return.

Is There Anything I Can Use for Ants Inside My House Before My Service Technician Comes for Treatment?
