Ant Control


Description

Interiors are sprayed when required - all cracks and crevices.

If interior treatment is required, the exterior will need to be done as well when the weather permits.  
The exterior should be done again for 1 -2 years as a preventative or for as long as ants are in the area.  
Exterior treatment includes treating the entire foundation.  
This treatment should be yearly as long as carpenter ants are in the area.
