Default Little Black Ants, Again & Again

Good luck.

What is involved in encasing the house?

One of my relatives in a different state also has an ant problem at her
house. She paid a pest control company close to three grand to have
them dig a trench completely around their house, and install some sort
of pesticide barricade.

I wish they had talked to me first because it seems just as likely the
ants are living somewhere within the perimeter of the house. They still
have them inside after this treatment. Now the same company wants to go
through the crawl spaces and attic, doing the same kind of spraying
you're describing for additional $$$.

It sounds like robbery to me, but my relative has been using this
company for a couple of decades and trusts them far too much.
