Photo Album: Kick Plate Full of Ants in Metuchen, NJ
We spotted a massive amount of ants crawling by the kick plate of the back door.
We Opened the Door
As soon as we opened the back door to the home, we were greeted by hundreds of ants!
Emerging from the Crevices
The ants were emerging from the tiny gaps on the side of the door frame.
Liquid Treatment for the Ants
We're going to treat this area and the entire exterior of the home with a liquid non-repellent. Afterward, we're going to treat the landscape with a granular bait.
The Worker Ants
The worker ants will come in contact with either of these treatments and bring them back to their nest to share it with the other ants in their colony and their queen. They'll share it by feeding or grooming one another, or eating their own dead. In a short amount of time, the ants will be neutralized.
