Ants are attracted to warmth, water and food—all things ants can find in a home and commercial building. Ant problems can fly under the radar by many industry measures, but ants infiltrating buildings can quickly escalate from a minor nuisance to a significant problem.

Once inside, they establish trails along walls, floors, and even ceilings, seeking food and water sources. Their tiny size allows them to squeeze through the smallest cracks and crevices, making it challenging to keep them out. Once a colony has established a foothold, their numbers can rapidly multiply, exacerbating the issue and making eradication more difficult.

In this episode of Straight Talk!, pest control expert Rob Fernback with Complete Pest Solutions shares a typical plan to eradicate ants from a home or an office. His tips keep homes and buildings safe from these invading pests with simple preventative measures.
