Ants Pest Control

Ants are social insects that crawl without wings and come in various sizes and appearances depending on their species. They form large colonies and are attracted to food, particularly sugary items, swiftly devouring anything in their path when motivated. Some species can deliver painful bites to those who obstruct their path.

With over 300 species, many ants are notorious for causing household issues. These social insects travel in organized lines, seeking out food and water sources.

Effective ant control necessitates eliminating the queen ant, as she drives colony reproduction. Without targeted action, ant populations may develop resistance to poisons or avoid bait, complicating eradication efforts.

Our extermination services ensure thoroughness, safety for children and pets, and customer satisfaction at every stage.

Here are some common ants found in the area

Harvester Ants: These sizable ants, ranging in red, black, or brown hues, construct extensive outdoor mounds often observed in yards. While they seldom infiltrate homes, they vigorously defend their anthills. With a venomous bite, their presence prompts many to remove them from their yards.

Carpenter Ants: Often mistaken for termites, these ants carve their dwellings by tunneling through wood. They're most active during spring and summer swarms, identifiable by the structural damage they inflict on

Fire Ants: Among the smallest ant species, Fire Ants are notorious for their aggressive behavior and excruciating venom. Primarily residing in outdoor mounds, they may invade homes in search of food and seek shelter indoors if accessible.

Here are three signs indicating ants are infiltrating your home

1.Trailing lines of ants leading to and from your foundation.

2.Accumulations of sawdust resulting from their chewing on organic materials.

3.Presence of ant colonies within or around your property.
