Barely lived in 3 year old home I just purchased. I noticed a few ants in kitchen and laundry room after about a month. I had the garage door opened when Massey was treating my outside and I asked him. He saw immediately (how did I miss it), the joints in my garage floor had sand and soil piles along many of the areas in the floor joints. He treated them. Two weeks later I saw some new piles. I treated myself with some type of gel, in additional treated the entire garage walls and joints with an Ortho indoor pest spray. Now examining these joints, geez these ants had a feast. Shining a flashlight into the joints I can see very VERY deep. What should I do. Should I just fill in the joints with some type of caulking, with epoxy, how do I know I got rid of these ants and they won't return to do it again? I've read something about making sure what you use in joints can expand with our ever changing temperatures. If I were to call a professional for the filling in the joints, who should I call. I can attempt to do it myself. This home is so clean, I cannot imagine others haven't had issues like this. BTW, this is not an infestation into the home yet. Thanks

My one and only recommendation that I have is: Stop giving your money away to Massey....

I had my garage floor epoxy coated..that stuff is amazing and I'm sure nothing will get in the way.. I also filled the joints with white bathroom caulk. cheap and easy. I did the seams just to add a level of clean.

Might not be for everyone. but it worked for me.

EPOXY BROTHERS did the work. (except for my white caulking in the joint)

Several crack filling products that harden that ant can’t chew through. Treat the crack with ant killer then fill in expansion joints all way to Garage door. That should stop their entry points. I would also look along the garage back wall Under the trim make sure the don’t have path that way. IMO the are coming from the front or back. I don’t see them coming from outside wall under the concrete slab?
