Indoors
- Vacuum dead ants and debris
- Dust wall voids, voids around door and windows
- Spot treatment indoors will not be effective if trails are not followed outdoors and nests are treated
Exterior Treatment
- Clean up debris around the yard
- Reduce the amount of leaf litter and mulch
- Dust, then seal and caulk gaps where ants can enter
- Ensure all doors and window screens on the active side of the structure are tight fitting
- Apply a repellent residual surrounding the foundation, bases of all trees (Temprid or Polyzone) and on all trailing ants
- In the spring, have liquid bait available where colonies reside away from the structure
- Apply 4 oz. of granular baits such as Extinguish Plus or Maxforce Complete bait inside a Protecta Rodent Bait Station near the structure but not against the foundation
- Determine bait preference on treatment day and broadcast granular baits
- In summer during heaviest activity, place out Antopia stations with Maxforce Quantum (or Intice Thiquid):
Maxforce Quantum diluted 1 part to 9 parts water:
109 oz. water + 27 oz. table → sugar → shake → Add 3 bottles of Quantum → shake → Fill bait stations with the mix
This mixture lasts about 2 weeks.
Place Antopia Stations (Item #807653) every 10-20 feet across outer property edge early in the spring when the first ant activity starts:
