How To Keep Ants Out of Your Dogs Food

Keep Those Six-Legged Pests Out Of Your Dog's Food: Are you looking for information on how to get rid of Ants? You've came to the right place. Part 1 of How To Get Rid of Ants will help you do just that. Don't you just hate pests, especially ants! They can invade a home for just a few crumbs that rolled under the refrigerator. Then when you have to clean them you have to make sure there aren't on anything important and keep it away from your pets and kids. The steps below will give you some helpful hints that will help avoid that exterminator bill.

Step 1: Start with smart storage. Dog food should be emptied from the bag it was purchased in into a large plastic or rubber container that has a locking lid. When scooping the dog food out of this container, be sure you don't drop any little nibbles on the ground. If possible, store dog food inside in a utility room or pantry closet.

Step 2: Avoid chemical warfare against the ants. There are many products on the market that claim to rid ants from your home permanently. The only problem is that they tend to be full of chemicals that aren't safe for animals, or small children for that matter. It can be difficult to wash away the chemicals once you've obliterated the ants.

Step 3: Take advantage of the ants' weakness. You've probably never seen an ant swimming. That's because the species of ants that live here and eat our dog's food can't swim! Ants can't eat what they can't get reach so it's time to make the food unreachable by building a moat. Start by putting a rectangular or square container on the ground. The container can be made of plastic or aluminum.

Set a brick in the center of the container and then fill the container around the brick with water or vegetable oil. Then, set a bowl that you intend to fill with dog food on top of the brick. The ants will not be able to swim through the water or vegetable oil to reach the bowl of food. If you don't feel like creating this moat structure, or one similar to it, you can usually purchase them at pet stores.

Ants can cause all kinds of problems but if you'll follow the simple tips above you'll be on your way to keeping ants out of your dogs food.
