Ants All Over the Side of the Office in Brick, NJ
After finding a number of ants crawling all over his desk, this business owner in Brick, NJ called Cowleys for help and we were sent out. After finding them crawling over the carpet in the basement level office, we followed their trail to a window that was above the owner's desk. We examined the area and, sure enough, found the ants crawling all over the window and discovered that they were coming from the mulch bed.
The natural decomposition of mulch creates a cool and moist environment that is the perfect breeding ground for ants and other pests. Additionally, the organic materials found in mulch are a natural food source for many ants and can aid in the development of larvae and eggs. We treated this area, the other mulch beds, and the entire landscape with a granular bait.
Once we finished with that, we applied a liquid non-repellant along the exterior of the building and, at the owners request, the baseboards and crevices around the inside of the office. The worker ants will bring these treatments back to their nest and then share them with the other ants in their colony and their queen. A short while later, the ants will be exterminated.
