Photo Album: Exterminating Odorous House Ants in Freehold, NJ
A new customer in Freehold, NJ called Cowleys after finding ants in her home.
In the Pantry
Upon inspection, I found a rather large odorous house ant infestation in the food pantry.
Identification of Odorous House Ants
Odorous house ants are tiny, fast ants that emit a rotten coconut smell when they are crushed or startled.
Dispose of the Items
Unfortunately, some of the items in the pantry were compromised, so I informed the homeowner that I needed to dispose of them. After doing so, I treated the area and all the cracks and crevices with an aerosol application.
No More Smelly Ants
Finally, I treated the interior and exterior of the home with a non-repellant residual. The ants will come in contact with either of these products and transfer them among one another. Shortly after, the entire odorous house ant colony is exterminated.
