What is the best treatment option for ants traveling along a hardwood floor?

The best treatment option for ants traveling along a hardwood floor is to use a crack and crevice treatment with a suspended concentrate. This method targets specific areas where ants may be entering or nesting, allowing for effective control of the ant population.

Since ants often travel in hidden pathways—such as under baseboards or along the edges of flooring—a crack and crevice approach can ensure that the treatment penetrates these areas where ants are likely to be found. The suspended concentrate formulation is particularly effective as it allows for a longer-lasting residual effect and can adhere to surfaces effectively, reducing the chances of re-infestation.

Using a surface spray might not effectively reach the areas where the ants are travelling, especially if they are moving along the edges or behind furniture. Bait application in open areas may attract ants but could be less effective if they are hidden from view or if other food sources are readily available. Fogging the entire area is not an efficient approach for ant control, as it disperses chemical treatment over a wide area, which may not directly impact the ants traveling along the hardwood floor and may even render bait options ineffective by contaminating surfaces.

Thus, the crack and crevice treatment provides a targeted, effective solution to control the ant problem where it is
