Kitchen Ant Problem

The situation

You rent a ground-floor unit. Over the past two weeks, ants have been coming into the kitchen through a crack under the back door, and the sprays you bought have not helped. Food has to be kept in sealed containers. Speak to your landlord: describe the problem and ask them to arrange pest control and repair the gap.

Model answer

Hello, it's your tenant from the ground-floor unit. I'm calling about an ant problem in the kitchen. For about two weeks, ants have been coming in through a crack under the back door. I've tried a couple of sprays and kept everything sealed, but they keep returning, and it's getting worse with the warmer weather. Could you please arrange a pest control treatment, and also have someone seal the gap under the door so they can't get back in? I'm available most afternoons if someone needs access. Thanks so much.
