Photo Album: Bad Odorous House Infestation in Little Silver, NJ
Recently, I went out on a service call for a homeowner in Little Silver, NJ who had a bad infestation of odorous house ants.
Coming from Outdoor Kitchen
I began inspecting and noticed large amounts of odorous house ants throughout the interior kitchen. I followed their trail to the exterior and noticed that they were harboring underneath a sink in the outdoor kitchen.
More Harborage Areas
The ants were also trailing underneath the paver patio and under the siding. The customer didn't want any treatment inside her home, so in order to eliminate the odorous house ants, I applied a residual dusting product along the exterior harborage areas.
How Does It Work
The ants will come in contact with the residual dust, return to their nest, and transfer the treatment by grooming or feeding one another. This is called the transfer effect and ensures rapidly extermination of the entire colony.
Now for the Liquid
Afterward, I applied a residual liquid (which works almost the same as the dust) along the entire exterior perimeter as well as underneath a bbq grill that abutted the back wall of the house.
Odorous House Ants Exterminated
The thorough exterior treatment will eliminate the odorous house ants inside the home without any treatment to the interior.
