Signs you have them
- Tiny light-colored ants trailing along baseboards and plumbing
- Activity in bathrooms and kitchens in winter
- Ants coming out of outlets and light switches
Why it matters
Spraying makes the colony split into several new ones, so a problem spreads through the building. They're a sanitation concern in apartments and healthcare settings.
How we treat it
Bait only. We place slow-acting bait that workers carry back to feed the queens, and we don't spray repellents that cause the colony to split.
Prevention
- Don't spray store-bought insecticides at them
- Wipe up sugary spills promptly
- Report activity in shared-wall buildings to the property manager
