Baits prove to be effective to battle ants during winter months

As temperatures drop, ants seek warmth indoors, making winter an ideal time to focus on ant control. During cool months, ants can be more active in foraging for food inside, which makes baits especially effective.

For optimal control, place baits near nest sites and along visible trails. Ants collect the bait and carry it back to the colony, sharing it with the queen(s) and brood. This ensures that the active ingredient (AI) reaches the entire colony, reducing the population significantly.

Setting customer expectations is important, as they may notice increased ant activity initially or expect traditional sprays. Explaining that baits attract ants before eliminating the colony can help alleviate concerns.
