Why is an aerosol spray not very effective against ants.
A household aerosol spray, can scatter the colony into satellite colonies. A satellite colony doesn’t have a primary queen but there is a lot of working individuals that live there and they go back and forth to the primary colony. If a flushing agent is over-used, you spread them out all over the house, thereby making control more difficult. Introducing a professional cost effective pest control management program is the answer, further to this, Homeowners should trim all trees and bushes so branches do not touch or come in contact with the house. Correct moisture problems such as leaking roofs, leaking chimney flashing, or plumbing, and blocked gutters. Replace rotted or water-damaged wood and eliminate wood to soil contact. Remove dead stumps within 5m of the house, if practical, and repair trees with damage at broken limbs, and holes in the trunk. Seal cracks and crevices in the foundation, especially where utility pipes and wiring occur from outside. Be sure to store firewood off the ground away from the house and bring in only enough firewood (first examining it) to be used quickly. #ants , #pest , #aerosol , #nest , #garden , #household ,
