Household Ant Treatment
Household Ant Treatment
What Was Applied Today & What to Expect
What We Applied Today
Borax Bait Stations
Small bait stations were placed along ant trails. Ants will carry the bait back to the colony — this is how the whole nest is eliminated.
Food-Grade Dust
A very light application of food-grade diatomaceous earth or boric acid dust was applied inside cracks and hidden voids — not in open areas.
Botanical Barrier
A plant-oil spray was applied at exterior entry points to deter new foragers from entering.
What to Expect
More ants for 3–5 days
This is normal — it means the bait is working. Ants recruit heavily before the colony collapses.
Activity decreasing by day 7–10
You should see a clear reduction within one week.
Full resolution in 1–2 weeks
The colony should be fully eliminated within two weeks of bait placement.
Your Role in This Treatment
- Do not spray any insecticides near the bait stations — this breaks the treatment.
- Do not wipe up the bait stations or disturb ant trails during treatment.
- Store all food in sealed containers and take out trash daily.
- Wipe counters nightly to remove crumbs and food residue.
✓ Safe for Family & Pets
Treated areas are safe for children and pets immediately — bait stations are enclosed and dust was applied only in hidden, inaccessible spots.
