How to keep ant away from the house

Since young, Cozy was very scared of pests especially cockroach or anything that can fly. Cozy will hide away from it at first instinct. When Warm and Cozy had a place to call their own home, they will make sure that the house is clean and minimum cooking at home.

But of course, even if they don’t cook at home. There will still been occasional unwanted visitors to Warm and Cozy’s home. The first time they have seen a cockcoach is when they get their key and open the door. Luckily Warm is around to get away. Although sometimes, Warm will hold it to scare the hell out of Cozy.

One of the frequent visitors is the endless ants. Alone, the ant may looks helpless but once you see an army of ants moving around the corner of the house, do you feel irrigated and your body very itchy? For more than don’t know how many years, various methods like using insecticide in the form of normal looking chalk. Some contains the pesticides like deltamethrin and cypermethrin but the ant seems quite smart and does not seems to works well all the time. Using superglue and/or the chalk to seal the entrance and area where the ants appear does not work well.

Sometimes around 2015, someone recommend Terro Ant Bait and had a try putting it at the corner of where the ants normally appears. After a few days, the ants did miraculously disappeared. Thus Cozy went to search for the brand and found the Terro is selling online. She will bought some and change the ant bait like every half a year and for the past 5 years, ants are no longer our regular unwanted visitors.
