"The surest way to keep a house free from ants is to leave no food lying about on shelves or in open places where they can reach it. Ants go where they find food, and if the food supplies of the household are kept in ant-proof metal containers or in ice boxes, and if all food that may happen to be scattered by children or others is cleaned up promptly the ant nuisance will be slight. Cake, bread, sugar, meat, and like substances are especially attractive to ants and should be kept from them. Methods of killing ants with poisoned baits, and of attracting them to sweetened baits and afterwards destroying them, may be used also, though these methods are most effective when the colonies are few and small. The kinds of ants that live about houses and lawns together wit their habitats, the baits to use in luring them to their destruction, and other methods of combating them, are described in this bulletin." -- p. [2]
