Common Ant Control Questions

Why do ants keep coming back after I spray?+
Store-bought sprays often repel ants without killing the colony. When ants detect these products, colonies can split and spread to new locations. Professional baits work differently - ants carry them back to share with the colony, eliminating the source.
How long until the ants are gone?+
You may see reduced activity within days, but complete colony elimination typically takes 2-4 weeks as baits work through the colony structure. We schedule follow-ups to ensure success.
Are ant treatments safe for my pets?+
Yes. We use professional products applied in targeted locations that minimize exposure. Baits are placed in areas pets cannot access, and treatments dry quickly.
