"Sprayed kitchen and 2 ft wide band around exterior at groundlevel. Placed bait cans in kitchen and nearby 1/2 bath. Ants disappeared after about 5 days which is normal. However 3 weeks later had a swarm of winged ants under garbage cans near garage door. Called Adam and tech responded very promptly and resprayed the entire exterior perimeter. No more ants seen at 30days therefore so far so good. Their technician insisted only carpenter ants had wings. Most other ants also have wings so that is not a defining characteristic for a carpenter."
