Pharaoh ants nest in wall voids, cabinets, appliances, electrical outlets, and plumbing areas. Proper preparation allows our technicians to:
Access hidden nesting and foraging areas
Apply non-repellent treatments effectively
Improve colony control and reduction
Prevent colony splitting and re-infestation
Please complete the following before the technician arrives:
Empty kitchen cabinets, drawers, and pantries
Remove food, dishes, cookware, and utensils
Store all food in sealed plastic containers or airtight bags
Clean crumbs, grease, and spills from all surfaces
Wipe down shelves, counters, and cabinet interiors
Pull appliances slightly away from walls (stove, fridge, dishwasher if possible)
Empty cabinets under sinks
Remove toiletries and personal items
Clean sink areas, tubs, and toilets
Ensure access to baseboards and plumbing areas
Reduce clutter, especially near walls and baseboards
Move furniture at least 12 inches away from walls, if possible
Remove items stored under beds or couches
Vacuum floors, cracks, and baseboards
Dispose of the vacuum bag immediately after cleaning
Clear shelves and storage areas
Remove items touching walls or floors
Clean up excess moisture
Report any leaks or plumbing issues if present
All people and pets must leave the unit during treatment
Fish tanks must be covered or removed
Follow technician instructions regarding re-entry time
Do not disturb treated areas or bait placements
Re-enter the treated areas only after the advised time (usually 4–6 hours)
Open windows briefly to ventilate if recommended
Do NOT clean treated areas for at least 7–14 days
Light cleaning of non-treated surfaces is allowed
Do not wash or remove treated cracks, crevices, or bait placements
You may notice increased ant activity for several days
This is normal and indicates the treatment is working
Ant activity should gradually decrease as the colony is affected
Pharaoh ant infestations often require follow-up visits
No preparation may be required for follow-ups unless advised
Notify us if ant activity persists beyond 2 weeks
❌ Do NOT use store-bought ant sprays or foggers
❌ Do NOT remove bait placements
