Ant Control Following up

Organic Gerry said, "Sorry, but I just don't understand why you would want to spray a repellant spray at the point of ant entry and then a non-repellant in other areas. Ants that are already in the house are going to be pushed back in by the repellant. You should stick with just non-repellants, both at point of entry and other trailing or source sites. Don't mix up repellants and not repellants. "

In response, I say that our customers and most people would like less ants inside their home as soon as possible. The repellent at the point of entry stops more ants from coming in immediately. The non-repellent inside will kill all the ants inside as they come in contact with it. I recommend strongly that non-repellents be used almost exclusively for ants. I say almost because all people want the ants to stop A.S.A.P. So after these first two steps are done, you should go outside and hunt for any additional ant trails, hills, and colonies. Treat these at the source with, yes you guessed it, a non-repellent. The repellent at the point of entry simple gives time for the ants to stay outside until their colony is eliminated. These different types of treatments repellents and non-repellents can be used together in this way to get the best results for the customer or homeowner.
