Why do ants keep coming back?
Ants usually come back because the colony, trail, entry point, food source, or moisture issue was not addressed. Sprays may kill visible ants, but the source can remain active.
What attracts ants inside a house?

How do I know if I need professional ant control?

How soon should I call if I see ants?
Call sooner if the ants return after cleaning, spread to multiple rooms, appear near moisture, or are creating problems in a business. Early inspection can make the source easier to track.
Can I prevent ants after treatment?
