Ant pathways – in and outside of your home or premises are another sign. Some kinds of ants will lay down a pheromone trail to a food source. This compound attracts other ants to obtain the food.

What should I do if I accidentally touch any of the areas that have been sprayed?
This will only be a concern if the sprayed areas are still wet. Should this happen, wash with soap and lots of water as soon as you possibly can. After a relatively short period of time, the carrier, tap water will have evaporated and will not harm you in any way should you come into contact with the area.
Will the gel that you use on the inside of my cupboards cause any contamination to the food inside?
We apply the gel only to places within the cupboard where insects are found. This means it will only be applied to cracks, crevices, and hinges.
Am I likely to see the return of pests after the treatment?
It is possible that insects such as ants, spiders or cockroaches may venture inside your property after the treatment has been completed. However, there is a very high likelihood that they will have crossed treated areas and will die very soon afterward.
