Understanding the Ant Problem

Ants can be a nuisance, especially when they invade your pet-friendly household. Their search for food and water often leads them into kitchens, pet food areas, and even yards. Fortunately, Arrow Environmental Services offers solutions that prioritize safety for both your family and your furry friends.

1. Essential Oils
Natural repellents like peppermint and tea tree oils are highly effective.

How to Use: Mix essential oil with water and a touch of dish soap. Spray
the mixture along windowsills, doorframes, and known trails. This can be
used as needed.

2. Vinegar Spray
Vinegar’s pungent odor disrupts scent trails.

How to Use: Combine vinegar and water in equal parts, spray the solution
along ant trails, and wipe surfaces clean.

3. Food-Grade Diatomaceous Earth
This natural substance eliminates ants by damaging their exoskeletons.

How to Use: Lightly apply around entry points and in cracks. Reapply as
necessary to maintain effectiveness.

4. Baking Soda and Sugar
This bait lures ants while safely eliminating them.

How to Use: Blend equal parts baking soda and sugar, placing it near ant
colonies or trails. Be sure it’s out of reach for pets.
