Where Do Ants Live?
Ants are commonly found indoors in areas where they can access food sources, and moisture, and seek shelter. They tend to seek out hidden and protected places such as wall voids, spaces under appliances, behind window frames, and beneath floors. As commensal pests, ants have adapted to live near humans and are attracted to food items that we consume, including sweets, meats, starches, and liquids.
Where Are Ants Entering Your Home?
Ants can enter your home through various entry points. Here are some common areas where ants may be finding their way inside:
- Cracks and Gaps in Windows and Doors – Ants can squeeze through tiny openings around windows and doors, especially if there are gaps in the seals or weather stripping.
- Wall Penetrations – Ants can enter through utility penetrations, such as gaps around electrical outlets, plumbing pipes, or cable entry points.
- Foundation Cracks – Small cracks or gaps in the foundation of your home can provide access for ants to enter from the outside.
- Vents and Exhaust Openings – Ants can crawl through vents, exhaust openings, or other openings in the exterior of your home, especially if they are not properly screened or sealed.
- Electrical Wiring and Cables – Ants can use electrical wiring or cables as pathways to enter your home, especially if there are gaps or openings where these enter the structure.
How Do I Get Rid of Ants?
If you’re wondering how to get rid of ants in your house, it’s crucial to maintain cleanliness, address moisture issues, and practice preventive measures. Effectively getting rid of ants requires the following:
- Identify the Ant Species – Different ant species may require specific treatment methods, so it’s important to determine the type of ant you’re dealing with.
- Remove Food Sources – Clean up crumbs, spills, and food debris that may attract ants. Store food in tightly sealed containers and promptly clean dirty dishes. Wipe down surfaces regularly to eliminate food odors.
- Seal Entry Points – Use caulk or weather stripping to seal cracks, gaps, and openings where ants are entering your home. Pay attention to windows, doors, utility penetrations, and foundation cracks.
- Eliminate Ant Trails – Wipe down ant trails with a mixture of vinegar and water or a mild detergent solution. This disrupts their pheromone trails, making it harder for ants to navigate and communicate.

Here’s What Some Satisfied Customers Have to Say
Schopen was quick to respond to my initial inquiry and they accommodated a change in my
schedule. Luke arrived 10 minutes early and got right to diagnosing the issue. The source of the tiny
critters was found and treated. What a relief! I could not be more pleased with a company and the
service. (Office staff on the phone Kimm and Kiara were professional and helpful.) Thank you!!!
Everyone I dealt with was EXTREMELY knowledgeable. Pricing was fair. And best of all-my ants are
gone.
The guy called at the beginning of the time frame window and told me when he would be coming. It
is so nice to get a courtesy call when you have pets and kids. He was efficient and took care of what
we needed.
Kevin did an excellent professional job with the required inspection. We then hired him to treat our
home for spiders. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient.
We hired Schopen to deal with mice we began seeing recently. They were on time, and the Tech Corey was super awesome! He was very informative and explained everything. Listened to our concerns and gave good information back. He found potential entry points and filled them. We had hired a different company before them and wasn't satisfied. Corey went behind them and found some things the other company should have. We have already noticed that there is barely any activity. best part of it, they don't try to lock you into a contract like most pest control companies do, They let you decide what you are comfortable with.
This customer rated you highly for professionalism, responsiveness, and work quality.
This company was very responsive. Once they arrived at my house the workers were very friendly, explained the situation, and how follow up consultations worked. After the first and second follow up visit the company called to see if we had any other questions. Which was very thoughtful.
