Moving on from the Ants

Cain Pest Control came by this weekend to spray our house to get rid of the ants. The guy sprayed throughout the inside, as well as around the perimeter of the outside. We thought we had done a pretty good job of getting them with our vacuuming technique the other night, but as soon as he started spraying the cold storage room, hundreds more ants came out of the cracks.

We had to be out of the house for three hours after the spraying, but when we returned this morning, there didn't seem to be any live ants left. Thank goodness! Cain offers a 1-year guarantee, so we can call them if we see any more.

Once the ants were dealt with, we were able to move on to the more important things - like cleaning up and getting ready for the electricians to start their work. The house was a bit of a disaster, so we bought some storage bins to help us organize things.


Our unwelcome houseguests also distracted us from the exciting new additions that arrived this week. Our new octagon window was installed in the bathroom and our washer and dryer were delivered!

Gross!

We used Cain pest control to get rid of our early spring wasp problem. They did a good job - the wasps have stayed away.

Great minds think alike! And it pays to be listed high on Google.

Hi Marcus. We're really glad we decided to go with professionals. There were way more ants than we could handle on our own! So far, we haven't seen any more since Cain came to spray.
