Follow the trail
When you see ants around your office, watch the trail they follow. Because the ants are following a scent trail laid by the first ant to find food, placing bait in this area will ensure the ants find it.
Use bait, not spray
The ants that you see are worker ants that are gathering food for the colony. If you spray these ants, the colony will simply send out more. Instead, place ant bait. The ants will take it back to the nest to feed the larvae, soldiers, and queen, eliminating the entire colony.
Be patient
It can take several days or even a few weeks to eliminate an entire colony, so you may still see ants for a while. Replace the bait station if needed; then, after you no longer see ants, thoroughly mop and clean the area to get rid of the ant’s odor trail.
Spray outdoors
If the trail led to an outdoor nest in the ground, you can use a labeled insecticide spray (following all label directions) to kill the ants at the source.
Keep ants away.
Ants leave their nests in search of food and water, so the harder you make it for them to find the crumbs, spills, and water drops they need, the less likely they are to invade your home. Sealing cracks and gaps can also help keep out not only ants but all crawling and flying pests.
When using any pesticide or chemical, always thoroughly read and follow all label directions.
