If you are planning to have your house sprayed for ants, there are a few steps you can take to prepare:
- Identify the type of ant: Different types of ants may require different types of ant spray or treatment methods. Make sure you know what type of ant you are dealing with or take pictures and send them to us.
- Remove food and water sources: Ants are attracted to food and water, so it is important to remove any sources of food and water that might be attracting them. Clean up spills, empty garbage cans regularly, and store food in sealed containers.
- Clean the area: Clean the area where you plan to have sprayed, remove any debris or crumbs that might interfere with the effectiveness of the spray.
- Cover or remove items: Cover or remove any items in the area that might be in the way before the ants are sprayed.
- Keep children and pets away: Ant sprays can be harmful to children and pets, so make sure to keep them away from the area while its being applied, until it has dried completely or the 6 hour wait period.
- Ventilate the area: Ant sprays can produce fumes, so make sure to ventilate the area by opening windows or turning on fans.
