## Close the garage gap or the ants keep the schedule
Pavement ants in a Grand Valley garage keep using the same slab crack and the same torn sweep after every irrigation cycle. A perimeter treatment knocks down what is walking today. It does not invent a sealed door. Mesa Turf Masters will treat the Grand Junction foundation band. We will also point at the hole.
Desert edges, rock beds, and garage slabs in Fruita and Palisade heat up and crack. Irrigation that wets the slab every night is a moisture highway. If nobody owns the repair, you buy the same visit after the next cookout.
## What we inspect besides the spray
Species, moisture, food, and the opening. Photograph daylight under the garage door. Note pet food, trash, and whether a contractor left a temporary gap. Activity after a party weekend is not proof the last service failed. It is proof the opening is still there.
Treatment, exclusion, and monitoring are three lines. Exclusion is often owner work. We will not imply we rebuilt the threshold if we did not. Contact us with town, photos of the gap, and whether activity is garage, kitchen, or both.
## Irrigation and rock beds are part of the pest map
Heads that soak the foundation grow insect pressure even when the lawn looks fine. Rock weed edges collect food crumbs. Keep pest notes and irrigation notes in the same conversation when the wet band and the ant trail match.
Closeout should name the hole still open. Grand Junction wind will not seal a slab crack for you. Palisade and Fruita share the valley. They do not share your garage door.
## What the next visit should prove
The trail should match a closed sweep or a named hole that is still open. If we treated and the gap stayed, the closeout should say the gap stayed. Grand Junction cookouts and Palisade harvest dinners put food on the same slab. That is occupancy, not proof the last band failed.
Irrigation that wets the foundation every night is a moisture highway even when the lawn looks fine. Bring the start times. Fruita rock edges collect crumbs. Keep those notes with the ant trail so we are not guessing which side of the wall you mean.
