Why Do Ant Infestations Keep Coming Back?

Clearing the ant trail in the kitchen is not enough — you need to reach the colony source.

The visible trail ≠ the whole colony

The ant trail on the kitchen counter is only the workers. The colony usually lives inside walls, in garden soil, or in a neighbouring unit. Spraying the trail provides relief for a few days; they return as long as the source remains.

Why does gel work?

Approved gel is carried by workers back to the colony and affects the entire structure, including the queen. A small amount is applied at the right points; safe protocols exist in food areas.

Prevention tips

  • Clean sugary spills immediately.
  • Remove the pet food bowl at night or place it in a tray of water.
  • Check balcony and window seals.
  • Prevent tree branches from touching the house in the garden.
