Predator

Ants invade your home through tiny cracks in search of food, leaving behind a long lasting and invisible scent trail for the rest of the colony to follow. Do-it-yourself sprays just kill the ants you see and if you do not find the next and eliminate the queen they âre soon back on the trail. Summer time is the most problematic time for ant infestation, as they are out in force searching for food to be stored in their colony nest for the colder winter months. although the ants habitats are usually in soil, timber, under pavers and in wall cavities, you will find that they will travel the distance in search of food. even a clean kitchen or pantry is sestable to ant infestation.
