Ants are social insects. Some species reside outdoors, while others invade our personal space. Most of us draw the line when our personal space is invaded. In the case of an infestation, the last thing you want to do is reach for a can of bug spray, as this kills just the workers, and more workers will soon be foraging. Try an over-the-counter ant bait instead. If that fails, reach out to your trusted pest control professional for assistance.
