To completely eradicate ants in your kitchen, insecticide must be sprayed deep into the ant nest to ensure the entire colony is eliminated. Ants are very sensitive to ordinary insect repellent sprays, but simply spraying the surface will not eradicate the problem. Choose a professional ant bait containing residual ingredients, allowing the ants to carry the poisoned bait back to their nest, thus poisoning the entire colony, including the queen and worker ants, achieving complete eradication.
When to Need Professional Pest Control Services
Consider contacting a professional pest control service immediately if you notice the following signs:
Ant Paths: Obvious ant paths on kitchen countertops, floors, or corners indicate a serious infestation. Ants use pheromones to mark their paths, guiding their companions to food sources.
Ant Nests Found: Look around the kitchen, in wall cracks, or under the floor for ant nests. Some ants build nests inside walls, making them difficult to detect; others form small mounds on the ground. If similar signs appear, it indicates a large ant colony.
If ants keep reappearing after you try to deal with them yourself, or if the ant nest is hard to find, it is recommended that you seek help from a professional pest control company immediately to ensure that the ant infestation is safely, effectively and completely eradicated.
