Roaches and ants are two of the most common - and disgusting - insects that can find their way into your home or business. Their tiny bodies and their unwavering determination to find food make it easy for them to sneak inside and disrupt your peace, but hope is not lost! If you're seeing roaches and ants inside your home or business in Tennessee, you should clean up your inside space, keep any food in sealed containers, and seal up any visible holes or cracks. These preventative measures will help keep them outside, but they won't stop them all. Fortunately, perimeter pest control treatments will! When you schedule these treatments, professionals will apply their effective product several times throughout the year to keep roaches and ants outside where they belong.

Keep Your Home or Business Clean

Ants and roaches are attracted to food and are likely inside your home or business to find their next meal. Fortunately, keeping your inside space clean will take away a food source and give them fewer reasons to be inside of your home or business. You can maintain cleanliness by cleaning dirty dishes immediately; the odor and food particles left on your plates after use are a five-course meal to ants and roaches, which is why you shouldn't let them pile up. You should also pick up any crumbs and clean spills on counters and floors so that no easily accessible food sources are lying around for them.

You should take out your trash every evening and seal your trash cans so ants and roaches can't search for food there.

Keep Your Food in Sealed Containers

If there's a chance for food, ants and roaches will jump on that opportunity without a second thought. Not only will they eat crumbs, but they'll get into any food you leave out and can even get into open boxes and snack bags that aren't sealed properly. These tiny insects are as determined as they are opportunistic, which is why you should keep any food not in your fridge or freezer in sealed containers. When they can't get to it, it reduces their access to easy meals and can dissuade them from sticking around inside your home or business.

Seal Any Visible Holes & Cracks in Your Home or Business

If there are holes or cracks in your windows, doorways, or walls, ants and roaches will use them as an entrance into your property. However, sealing any visible entry points, like holes and cracks, in your home or business will make it more difficult for these pests to get inside; this can force them to move on in search of a more easily accessible property.
