What do customers ask about Ant Control?
Common questions and tips from our work with Indianapolis customers.
Why do ants keep coming back after I spray them?
Store-bought sprays kill the ants you can see, but the colony behind the wall or under the slab keeps sending out workers. Chadwick Exterminating uses gel baiting so workers carry the product back to the nest and treat the source, not just the trail on your counter.
How long before ant bait actually works?
Gel baits typically take one to two weeks to reach full effect because worker ants have to carry the bait back and feed the colony, including the queen. You may see fewer ants within days, but the colony reduction takes longer to complete.
Tip
Not all ants respond to the same treatment
Common household ants forage for sugar and grease, so gel bait works well. Wood-damaging carpenter ants behave differently and often need a different approach entirely. A technician who can tell the two apart on sight saves you time and gets the right treatment down the first visit.
Is ant bait safe with kids and pets in the house?
Bait stations and gel placements go in cracks, crevices, and areas out of normal reach, using EPA-registered products applied according to label directions. Our technicians place bait where ants travel, not where hands or paws do, and can walk you through exactly where it goes.
