ants feeding on sugary bait Sooner or later almost everyone experiences ant problems in their home or apartment. Ants often invade kitchens first but can spread to other areas of the home as well. They are several different species of tiny black/brown ants that enter homes in search of food and water. Ant colonies can be located in the soil around and beneath the structure but they can also be in the walls and/or ceiling . Ant Colonies and Ant Control All ants live in complex, highly organized colonies where workers gather food and water for the developing young and the egg-laying queen. The trick with any successful ant control program is to use the worker ants to collect food for the colony that has been combined with an insecticide. The bait is fed to developing young and the queen thus disrupting the entire colony. Spray insecticides, on the other hand, do not work well against household nuisance ants because ants can detect and avoid areas that have been treated .
Least-toxic control of ants, bed bugs, cockroaches, fleas, head lice, lawn/garden pests, mosquitoes, termites, wood boring insects, yellowjackets and most other household pests.
