There’s a popular meme that notes “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.” Does this apply to you? To your treatment techniques for ants?

My best advice for problematic ant infestations is to try something different — a product, a method, an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy, or a communication tactic. Continuing to do what you have always done because “that’s what is familiar” is easy, but it doesn’t always solve problems. Don’t be afraid to branch out and try something new.
