Household Ant Treatment
Carpenter Ant Treatment
What Was Applied Today & What to Expect
What We Applied Today
Boric Acid Dust
A very small amount of boric acid dust was injected into wall voids and the areas where ants were nesting. This spreads through the colony as ants groom each other.
Botanical Perimeter Spray
A plant-oil spray was applied at exterior entry points and along the foundation line to deter new foraging.
Entry Points Sealed
Gaps around pipes, windows, and foundation cracks were sealed to close the routes ants used to enter.
What to Expect
Reduced activity in 5–7 days
As the boric acid spreads through the colony, you should see fewer large ants within one week.
Colony collapse in 1–3 weeks
Full resolution typically takes one to three weeks as the material spreads to all colony members.
Moisture source addressed
We identified a moisture issue contributing to the nesting — resolving this is the most important long-term prevention step.
Your Role in This Treatment
- Address any moisture issues identified during the visit — leaks, gutters, or condensation.
- Trim vegetation and tree branches that contact the roof or exterior walls.
- Keep firewood stored away from the house and elevated off the ground.
- Do not apply any sprays near the treated wall voids — this disrupts the boric acid treatment.
✓ Safe for Family & Pets
The boric acid dust was applied inside sealed wall voids — inaccessible to children and pets. Exterior botanical spray is safe once dry (approximately 30 minutes).

You continue to see large black ants or fresh sawdust-like material (frass) after 2 weeks, or if you notice soft or discolored wood that may indicate new moisture damage.
