Pests We Treat Photo Album: The Ants Go Marching One-by-One in Brick, NJ
Here's how this one branch caused an ant infestation in this home in Brick, NJ
Walking Along
Ants were walking along this fence which directly touches the house at the other end. After finding them in the kitchen, I was able to follow their trail all the way to this area where the ants were active.
The Branch
Turn out, this branch was acting as highway for the ants to easily move from their nest to the home.
Ant Treatment Time
I applied a liquid residual application along the fence, the exterior foundation of the home, and, at the request of the homeowner, the cracks and crevices in the kitchen and the two adjacent rooms.
Gel Bait
Next, I applied a gel bait along the kitchen countertop, the fence, and along their trail on the branch.
Treatment Works By
The worker ants will come in contact with either of these products, return to their nest, and share them among their colony, unknowingly transferring the treatments to each other. Shortly after, they will be exterminated.
