DIY Danger Zone: Spraying Ants Can Make the Problem Worse

When ants invade your home, the first instinct for many is to grab the nearest spray and attack. It seems like a quick, convenient solution. But did you know that spraying visible ants could actually make the problem worse? 🐜🚫

Why Spraying Ants is a Mistake

Spraying ants only targets the workers—the ants you can see. While it might give you temporary relief, it won’t reach the heart of the issue: the colony. When you spray, you disrupt the worker ants, causing them to scatter and form new colonies in different parts of your home. This process, known as budding, can turn a small ant problem into a full-blown infestation.

Instead of solving the issue, spraying ants can lead to:

  • Ants moving deeper into your walls or other hidden areas.
  • More colonies forming, spreading the infestation.
  • Recurring ant sightings as the root of the problem remains untreated.

The Right Solution: Professional Baiting

While sprays can be useful in certain situations, professional pest control services offer long-term solutions. At Paragon Pest Control, we use effective ant baiting methods that target the entire colony, not just the ants you see. Baiting allows the worker ants to carry the pesticide back to the colony, eliminating the queen and the nest itself.

By targeting the source, our ant control solutions ensure that your infestation is eradicated for good, without the risk of spreading the problem throughout your home.
