Do not spray the trail
Leave the trail intact so foragers can carry bait home. Wiping it clears the pheromone but does not solve the source.
Remove competing food
Wipe spills, seal sugar and honey, cover pet bowls and clear bin residue so bait is the most attractive option available.
Place gel bait at the entry point

Once activity stops, seal the crack, window gap or skirting joint that served as the entry.
Treat balcony planters
Check pot soil and drainage trays; repot or drench where a nest is established.
