For a big ant issue we had, I didn’t notice much change until the second day. By day three, the activity dropped dramatically. It reminded me of when I tried to fix my flight online and nothing updated until I finally called the airline—some things just take the right step. Pest control usually starts working within 24–48 hours, but patience helps. Let the treatment settle, avoid over-cleaning, and check cracks or entry points. Ours cleared up completely by the end of the week.
