Ant Control Services, Treatment, & Prevention

Carpenter ants, Odorous House ants, Pavement ants, and Pharaoh ants.

It is important to have professional technicians properly identify the ant problem before starting treatment.

This is because each ant problem requires a different approach.

• They inhabit logs, stumps, and hollow trees.

• During warm spring and early summer days, winged carpenter ants emerge from well-established colonies.

• These insects scatter excavated wood particles across your property.

Homeowners should remain vigilant for indoor foraging ants and seek out their nesting sites. Look for wood debris in siding cracks, behind moldings, within basements and attics, and beneath porches.

• Following heavy rainfall, they tend to infiltrate residences and commercial premises via vents, window sills, and doors.

• Frequently confused with Carpenter Ants.

• Commonly encountered in kitchens, they are small (1/8 inch long) and swift.

For effective odorous house ant eradication, bait usage is recommended. Employ bait stations specially crafted for this purpose, minimizing disturbance from pets or children while ensuring unfettered access to the bait material for the ants. Strategically position bait stations in areas where these ants have been observed.

• The pavement ant, a non-native species, nests in the soil.

• Worker ants display varying sizes (2.5–4 mm long) and colors (ranging from dark brown to black).

• Reproductive ants or swarmers possess wings and are approximately twice the size of the workers.

Managing foraging pavement ant workers can be achieved by utilizing ant bait. Workers transport the baited substance to the nest, effectively eliminating the colony. Ant bait should be positioned in locations of observed activity, ensuring they are out of reach of children and pets.

• These ants are usually light yellow or red.

• They tend to inhabit moisture-rich zones such as bathrooms and kitchens.

• Despite their diminutive size (approximately 1/10 inch long), their presence can lead to significant issues upon infiltrating homes and structures.

Pharaoh ants favor sweets over proteins, underscoring the importance of selective baiting to ensure the appropriate bait is employed throughout the ant control procedure.
