Ants are one of the most common pests in India, and while they may seem harmless at first, an ant infestation can quickly become a major nuisance. Whether it’s tiny sugar ants invading your kitchen during Navratri sweets preparation, or red ants biting in office pantries, ants can disrupt your daily life and contaminate food.
If you’re struggling with ants in your home or office, it’s important to understand what attracts them and the most effective ways to eliminate them. In this blog, we’ll share practical tips for ant prevention and explain how professional ant control services from Unique Pest & Facility Management (UPFM) can help you achieve long-term relief.
Why Ants Invade Homes and Offices
Ants usually enter properties in search of three things: food, water, and shelter. Common causes include: Open sweets, sugar, and food crumbs in kitchens, Water leaks or stagnant water near sinks, Improperly sealed doors, windows, or cracks in walls, Garbage bins left uncovered.
Once a few ants find food, they leave behind a scent trail that brings the whole colony marching in. That’s why quick action is essential.
Risks of Ant Infestation
While ants are small, the problems they cause can be big: Ants crawl over dirty surfaces and then onto your food.Some species, like red ants, can bite painfully and irritate. Carpenter ants can damage wood and furniture. In offices, ants in pantries or on desks create unhygienic conditions.
Effective Ways to Eliminate Ants from Homes & Offices
Here are some practical and effective methods to keep ants away:
Ants may seem small, but once they invade your space, they quickly become a big problem. The first step to keeping them away is maintaining proper cleanliness. Wipe away food spills immediately, keep floors swept and mopped, and never leave dirty dishes sitting in the sink overnight. A clean environment leaves ants with little reason to stay.
Food storage is another key factor. Always keep sugar, snacks, and grains in airtight containers. Fruits and prasad offerings should be covered, and even pet food should not be left exposed for too long. When there’s no easy access to food, ants naturally stop returning.
It is equally important to seal their entry points. Small cracks, wall gaps, and broken tiles are perfect pathways for ants. By repairing them and adding mesh screens to windows and doors, you can reduce their chances of finding a way inside.
Garbage management also plays a big role. Kitchen and office waste should be removed daily, bins should be closed with tight lids, and cleaning with disinfectants ensures that ants are not drawn to the area.
For temporary relief, natural remedies such as turmeric, salt, vinegar, lemon juice, or peppermint oil can help disrupt ant trails. While these solutions may keep them away for a short time, they do not eliminate the root cause—the colony itself.
That’s why professional pest control is the most effective way to achieve long-term protection. With expert treatment, ants are removed from the source, ensuring your home or workplace stays safe and pest-free.

DIY solutions may temporarily reduce the number of ants, but they don’t target the entire colony. Ants nest deep inside walls, ceilings, or soil, and only a professional pest control team can eliminate them.
