Pests We Treat - Ant Removal in Colts Neck, NJ
I received a call asking me to deal with an ant infestation for a homeowner in Colts Neck, NJ. When I arrived, the homeowner told me that she has been seeing ants for the last two weeks coming in around her kitchen sink. She figured that it was a few isolated ants and the problem would go away on its own. It never did, and finally, she had enough seeing any crawling all over her kitchen counter. I thoroughly inspected the outside of the home, and found several small gaps underneath the kitchen windowsill. There was plenty of room for ants to find their way inside. However, an inspection should never stop there. I wanted to be 100% positive knowing how the ants were entering the home.
Since ants will often forage for food in and around a home, and then return to the nest after exploration, it is critical to find the scent trail to see how they are getting inside the home. I quickly located the scent trails and saw that the ants were entering the home through a small gap in the foundation. I informed the customer of my findings, showing her a short video of my inspection. It’s true that a picture can speak a thousand words. She was very happy with my thorough inspection, and asked me to perform the service. I’m confident that within 14 days the nearby ant colony will be destroyed and her bothersome ant problem in her Colts Neck, NJ kitchen will be totally eradicated.
