Ant infestation in kitchenOakland, California

Ants marching across kitchen countertops and around food sources signal a colony that has found a reliable path inside your home. Store-bought sprays often kill only the visible foragers without reaching the nest, allowing the colony to rebound within days. A pest-control technician identifies the ant species, traces the trail back to the entry point, applies targeted bait that workers carry to the queen, and seals cracks along the foundation and window frames to prevent re-entry.
