Think like a tiny general. Walk around your house’s foundation and look for cracks. A gap the width of a pencil lead is a four-lane highway for an ant.
Seal those holes with caulk or even just a bit of petroleum jelly. It’s like installing a moat around your castle. If they can’t find a door, they’re stuck dealing with the outside world—which is exactly where you want them.

Remember that every single thing touches the ground. A plant pot leaning against the house? That’s a bridge. A stack of firewood next to the porch? That’s a luxury apartment complex for ants. Move it six inches away, and you’ve broken the connection.
