When we have a problem with ants in the house (which is often in the neighborhood we live in), the Terminix technicians are able to eliminate the the little pests and keep them them away for about 5 - 6 months before they appear again. We just wish that a permanent solution to the ant situation could be found. Also, when we call to report ants in the house, we wish that a technician could arrive sooner than 2 days after we make the call. When we have ants in the house, we need a technician there the same day when the ants are there; not 2 days later.
