We have many different types of ants. They usually nest in the ground, but create pathways through foundations, wall openings, and cracks to kitchen and food storage areas. All of the ants have different characteristics that se
parate them. Some like sugars, some fats and others proteins. Once your type of ant is identified a specific applicationcan be applied.
In the typical house the attic is treated, the plumbing under the kitchen and bathroom sinks, the baseboards and the perimeter around the outside of the house or building. It normally takes 7 to 10 days for control. You can also remove food that is favored by ants, and trim trees to discourage the entrance to your roof or window areas. Ants on the outside should be left alone if not interfering with humans. They do their job in cleaning up the trash left outside and other types help with the pollination. They are also great soil mixers, turning over tons of dirt while building their nests. |
