FAQ: Why Am I Still Seeing Ants After My Treatment?

If you're still seeing ants and it's been a few days since your treatment, don’t worry—it’s actually a sign the treatment is working.

Our professional products are designed to be carried back to the nest by worker ants, which may cause visible activity for up to 7-10 days. That’s a good thing—it means the bait is spreading throughout the colony.

When to wait:

• Treatment was done less than a week ago.

• You’re seeing fewer ants than before.

• Most of the ants look dead, slow, or disoriented.

When to call:

• It’s been more than 10-14 days and ants persist in the same spots.

• You notice the ants moving into new areas or increasing in number.

• You see large groups or swarms indoors.

• You want peace of mind or have concerns for your family and pets.
