Ant Infestation in Kitchen? Here's Who to Call

A trail of ants across your countertops usually means a colony has established a scent route to a food or moisture source inside your home. Without professional treatment the colony will keep sending workers, and satellite nests can form in wall voids. A pest-control technician locates the nest, applies targeted bait or barrier treatments, and seals common entry points to prevent re-infestation.
