Once you've successfully eliminated the ants using Ortho® Ant B Gon® MAX Ant Killer Granules, it's important to clean up properly to prevent future infestations. Here are some steps:

• Clean the Surrounding Area: Thoroughly clean the areas where you noticed ant activity. Use a disinfectant cleaner to wipe down surfaces and mop floors. This helps remove any pheromone trails left by the ants that could attract more ants.
• Seal Entry Points: Look for cracks, crevices, or other small openings where ants may have been entering your home. Seal these points with caulk or another appropriate material to prevent future invasions.
• Regular Inspection: Regularly inspect your home for signs of ant activity, especially during warmer months when ants are most active.
• Disposal: Do not reuse the empty containers. Dispose of household garbage. Unused or partially used products should be disposed of at provincially or municipally designated hazardous waste disposal sites.
