You can kill as many worker ants as you want. The colony does not care — because the colony is the queen. Kill the queen and the whole colony dies. That is what our entire protocol is designed to do.

The colony is the queen. As long as the queen is alive — she keeps producing. Hundreds of new ants every single day.
A single ant colony can hold anywhere from a few thousand to half a million ants. Workers follow invisible chemical trails called pheromones. When one scout finds food, it leaves a trail back to the colony. Every ant behind it follows that exact path. Killing what you see on the counter does nothing — the trail is still active and more are coming.
Ants overwinter underground or inside wall voids. When the ground warms and spring rain pushes moisture through the soil — they move upward, into your walls, into your home. That is not random. That is biology.
We spread professional granular bait across the front yard and backyard. Worker ants pick it up and carry it back to the queen. The queen eats it. The queen dies. The colony collapses. The workers do the work for us.
We set Scorpio bait stations around the property at key activity zones. Ants enter, feed, and carry the bait back to the nest. These keep working long after we leave — sustaining the kill.
We spray a full weatherproof barrier around the entire foundation, all windows, all doors, and every entry point. Whatever is coming from outside dies before it ever gets inside. Stays active for 90 days.
If there is already activity inside — baseboards, cracks, movement zones — we treat those too. Interior perimeter spray eliminates whatever is already established inside the home.
Where we found them, what we found, every pesticide used — recorded in the service report. When we return, we know exactly what changed.
Most companies spray the baseboards inside and leave. The queen is still alive underground. That is why the ants come back two weeks later. Surface spray has never killed a colony. The only kill that matters is the queen kill — and that requires bait that workers carry back themselves.
