Photo Album: Ants on the Sidewalk in Somerville, NJ
As I was treating this homeowner’s backyard, I stumbled upon a large nest of ants near the walkway.
Mound of Dirt
As I was inspecting the backyard, I noticed a mound of dirt near the walkway.
Big Colony
I took a closer look and found a few ants nearby. I followed their trail to a large colony in the mulch bed.
Time to Spray and Bait
I treated the area and the exterior of the home with a liquid residual and then applied a granular bait to the landscape. When the ants come in contact with either of these products, they will bring them back to their nest and share them with one another.
They Don't Know
By doing this the ants are unknowingly transferring the treatments throughout their colony, and a short while later, they will be exterminated.
