Ants are an insect that can be very tricky to treat for. The ants that are visible inside only make up 10% of the entire ant colony. The rest of the ants stay hidden underground. The products you buy at the store tend to only affect the ants you see but not the whole nest. The ants die too quickly and don’t stay alive long enough for them to carry the store-bought product back to the nest. This can sometimes give customers a week without seeing any ants but they will eventually come back. The professional-grade product we use does not have this problem. It takes 30 days for our product to exterminate an entire ant colony that is inside the home.
