Dog Food Bag Invaded by Ants? Simple Solutions Here!
Okay, so this morning was a bit of a disaster. I noticed a trail of ants marching across my kitchen floor. Not just a few scouts, but a full-on ant army!
My first thought was, "Oh no, where are they going?" I followed the line, and my heart sank. They were heading straight for the dog food bag. Apparently, I hadn't sealed it properly after feeding my pup last night.
The Cleanup Begins
First, I moved the bag. I grabbed a big, sturdy plastic container with a tight-fitting lid – lesson learned! – and dumped the remaining food into it. Ants were scattering everywhere, it was totally gross.
- I then vacuumed the entire area, making sure to get every single ant. And of course, I immediately emptied the vacuum outside.
- Next, I mixed up some soapy water and wiped down the floor, the counters, and anywhere else I saw those little pests. I wanted to make sure to get rid of their scent trail, so they wouldn't come back.
- I set some ant bait in a safe space, and hoped to never see them again.
It was a messy job, and definitely not how I wanted to start my day. But, the dog food is now safe and ant-free, and hopefully, the kitchen is too. I'm going to be extra careful about sealing that bag from now on!
