WHAT TO DO ABOUT ANTS

It is common for an increase of ants during summer droughts, hot days, and winter rain storms. If ants have entered the building, please submit a Maintenance Request using the Service Requestor on your my.calpoly.edu portal, Housing tab, or by calling (805) 756-1587.

The campus’ licensed pest control company suggests:

* Spray an ammonia based window cleaner (i.e. Windex) on the ant trail. This will disrupt the pheromone trail the ants use to find their food source.

* Do not use other types of pesticides. These pesticides act as a repellent, driving ants away from the pest control company treatment.

Preventative measures:

* Cleanliness—it is important for areas to be very clean to prevent ants—this includes counter tops, corners, cupboards, shelves, and baseboards.

* Sweep and mop floors away from baseboards and corners. Sweeping toward will cause food particles to be imbedded in crevices, thus attracting ants.

* Clean up food and drink spills promptly.

* Keep food in airtight containers (i.e. a Rubbermaid type container with a lid or top that seals the container to make it airtight).

* Empty trash frequently.
