IMPORTANT DO NOT SPRAY ANYTHING AND DO NOT DISTURB THE ANT TRAILS OR ANTS THEMSELVE.
Our Part: Depending on where you are having an issue with the ants will determine if you require just an internal or external ant treatment. Internally, we use a low toxic ant bait which will be placed on areas where you are seeing ant trails. Externally we will spray around the perimeter of the house.
Your Part: Wipe counter-tops down, wipe under appliances to remove food scraps, wipe down any open jars of honey, syrups or sugars.
After the Treatment: It is common to continue to see ants up to 2 weeks after treatment. The ants will carry the insecticide back to the nest, if you have been provided with ant bait, please use as per technician’s instructions. If ants appeared scattered or dying the treatment is working.
How Does the Ant Treatment Work?
Both the ant bait and external spray with Antmaster Liquid Bait or Advanced ant killer will work in the same manner where the ants basically do all the work by carrying the poison back with them to the nest.
The ants are unable to determine that the bait and spray are a insecticide they walk over the product, carry it back with them to the nest, pass the chemical amongst each other whereby they are in fact eradicating the entire colony including the queen.
The benefit of this treatment too is that no matter where the nest is located, the ants will carry the insecticide with them back to the nest.
There is no need to go and search for the nest, as the ants do all the hard work!
