There are a variety of different sprays and products designed to get rid of the ants in your home. Not all the products work the same. A majority of them don’t work at all. The products you should always try to avoid are sprays that are marked to kill the ants instantly, or solving the ant problem quickly. These products have a good chance of making the ant problem worse. The ants inside the home only make up 10% of the entire ant colony. The rest of the ants, including the queen, live underground up to 100 yards away from your home. These products never make it back to the rest of the colony and only kill the ants in your home. This causes the rest of the colony to believe they are under attack and move some ants to another location to start a new nest in a safer area. This is called budding. The products we use take 30 days for them to work. This allows the ants to make their way back to the nest with our product to spread it with the entire colony.
