Ants are social insects commonly found in various habitats worldwide, including Indonesia. They usually live in colonies consisting of thousands to millions of individuals. Here are some places where ants are commonly found:

In Urban Environments: Ants are also commonly found in urban environments, such as parks, gardens, and other urban areas. They can nest in the soil, under rocks or tree trunks, or inside buildings and other urban structures.

In Houses: Ants often enter houses in search of food, water, or nesting sites. They can be found in kitchens, bathrooms, basements, garages, or food storage areas.

In the Soil: Many ant species nest in the soil. They create nests below the soil surface using saliva and soil, and usually have complex tunnel systems.

In Trees: Some ant species, such as tree ants or biting ants, nest inside or near trees. They build nests inside tree trunks or among leaves and branches.

In Dry or Wet Places: Ants can be found in both dry and wet environments, depending on the species. Some ant species prefer humid environments, while others prefer dry environments.

These are some places where ants commonly live. They are highly adaptive insects and can be found in various habitats worldwide.

Poison Baits: An effective method is to use poison baits. These baits generally contain a mixture of poison with food items that are attractive to ants. The ants will carry the bait to their nest, allowing the poison to spread and control the population.

Ant Traps: There are different types of ant traps on the market. They usually contain bait or liquid that is attractive to ants. Once the ants enter, they cannot get out again. Ant traps help reduce the ant population in the house.

Maintain Cleanliness: Make sure the house is clean, especially from food scraps, drink drips, and food spills. The kitchen, bathroom, and food storage areas should always be clean and dry.

Seal Gaps and Cracks: Ants can enter through gaps and cracks in walls, floors, or doors. Make sure to seal or seal these gaps using sealants or other sealing materials.

Use of Essential Oils: Essential oils like peppermint, lemon, or cinnamon are known to repel ants. Mix them with water and spray them in areas where ants frequent.

Calling in the Professionals: If the infestation is too severe or difficult to control, calling a pest control professional may be necessary. They have the knowledge and equipment to effectively deal with ant infestations.
