Photo Album: Ants Hiding in the Switch Plate in Manalapan, NJ
Crawling on the Counter
As we inspected the kitchen, we found a lot of ants around the kitchen counter near the sink.
A Keen Eye
As we watched the ants carefully, we discovered a line of ants going back and forth from a switch plate on the wall, then to the counter, and finally into the sink.
After Carefully Observation
We removed the switch plate cover and found their nest!
Treat Carefully
We carefully treated the outlet with a dusting application. Afterward, we treated all the cracks and crevices inside the home with a knockdown aerosol product that will exterminate the ants almost immediately.
Outside Too
We also used an ant gel bait on the countertops and then went outside and treated the exterior with a liquid residual application. Once the ants come in contact with any of these treatments, they will return to their nest and share them with each other. Shortly after, the ants are exterminated.
