What a pest pro would do
- Inspect to identify the species and trace trails back to nests and entry points.
- Treat with professional non-repellent products and targeted baits the colony carries back — eliminating the whole nest, not just the ants you see.
- Treat the Foundation Line and seal the cracks and gaps ants trail through.
- Re-service on the bimonthly Summit Shield schedule, backed by the Apex Promise.
