- Know What Type Of Ants You Are Dealing With: To solve the problem, you’re gonna have to get rid of the ants that you’ll find hidden before you get rid of those that are out in the open. Sounds confusing yet? Well, you should do it this way since a queen of an ant colony will basically be the one hidden and if it’s not killed first then all your efforts to dispose of the exposed ants will just go to waste because the queen will just be laying more and more eggs.
- Follow The Trail Of Ants Entering Your Home: We understand, that it’s work. But doing so will eventually lead you to the queen which can ultimately be your victory over these things if you’re successful in destroying it.
- Use Ant Bait To Poison The Queen: As you can understand by now, the trick is not to go and kill the queen directly, but to have the worker ants do it for you. A worker ant will probably take in the bait for the queen. And when the queen eats it, it will eventually kill her eliminating the cause of re-population for these species in your area.
- Be Patient On When You’re Going To Clean Out The Whole Colony: Yes, it does not happen in just a snap of a finger. You’re gonna have to wait for some weeks to see the effects of the bait that you sent as some colonies can have more than one queen producing eggs for them. So you need to keep giving out the bait food and only attack the nest itself once the threat has been neutralized.
- After Waiting For A Few Days, You Can Then Spray The Nest: Especially if the nest is outside your house or below the ground. You can just drench the nest with an environmentally friendly insecticide to drown the ants and the remaining ants form the colony.
- Call The Professionals At Go-Forth Home Services: It is still best if you seek out help from experts like our team at Go-Forth Pest Control. We understand the precautions needed and the items that can be used to fully manage an infestation.
