Food spills, sugary substances, uncovered trash, pet food, moisture, and accessible entry points are some of the most common things that attract ants into homes and businesses. Even small crumbs or standing water can quickly draw ants indoors as they search for food and shelter.

Ants can enter through tiny cracks around doors, windows, pipes, and foundations. Once they find a reliable food or water source, they leave scent trails that attract even more ants to the area, leading to larger infestations over time.
