HAVING ANTS IN YOUR HOME IS NO PICNIC

Warning Signs
A severe ant infestation in your home is never ideal. Some ants live primarily in the walls and plumbing, out of sight, and can be doing immense damage to your property if left unattended. The common signs of an ant infestation include:
- Trails of ants in single file going back and forth from your kitchen or other places where there is an abundance of food and water.
- Small holes are chewed in cardboard food packaging.
