Stop ants in attics

Chris White

The attic provides an ideal environment for ants — thanks to its secluded nature, ample food sources and suitable nesting sites.

One of the top issues in attic infestations is that ants are known to damage insulation materials by tunneling through them or using them as nesting material. To stop these invaders, it’s important to understand the species in your area and apply exclusion to anywhere they are known to get in. It’s also important to treat potential access areas with a suitable residual insecticide, such as boric acid.
