Pests We Treat Photo Album: Ants Trailing From Top to Bottom in Howell, NJ
Recently, I treated a home in Howell, NJ for ants.
Corner of the Pillar
When I inspected, I noticed the ants were trailing from a small crack in a pillar near the top of the ceiling.
The Wall
Down the wall...
To Some Food
... along the baseboard and to some discarded food laying on the floor.
Clean Up the Mess
First, I cleaned all the surfaces, removed the food debris from the floor, and informed the homeowner that cleaning regularly will prevent ants and other pests from infesting her home.
Aerosol and Liquid Treatment
Next, I treated the crevice of the pillar by injecting a residual aerosol, which will rapidly exterminate the ants, and then treated the baseboards and the exterior perimeter of the home with liquid non-repellant. The ants will come in contact with this treatment and unknowingly transfer it throughout their nest. Shortly after, the ant colony is eliminated.
