Ant control can seem impossible – but it isn’t. The key is to target the colony, not the workers. Over-the-counter sprays provide a satisfyingly quick kill of the workers running around your kitchen, but that residue forces the rest of the colony to find other places to forage. And because many nuisance ants have multiple queens, this leads to dispersal throughout your walls, making control more difficult.
The key is to target the colony, not the workers.
Our approach varies depending on the pest species you have in your home or business. While tackling the problem after over-the-counter sprays have been applied is difficult, it isn’t impossible. We have even been behind other companies that train their technicians to simply apply one kind of insecticide (generally whatever they can get for the cheapest). The standard line is that ants are hard to get rid of, and, by golly, you need to be on a contract.
While we do offer preventative services (they’re great if you don’t want your ants back!), tackling the problem you currently have isn’t going to be resolved by somebody running around your home, sweeping your eaves with a cobweb brush. A professional technician will identify your ant species, inspect the areas where they are active, and employ a variety of techniques to dramatically knock down your infestation by targeting the ants you don’t see – the nesting colony. Our application techniques are so precise, and our materials so safe, that you won’t even need to leave your home. Really!
Of course, eggs don’t eat bait, or crawl around. So at least one additional visit is likely to be necessary; for bad infestations, or in areas with heavy populations outside your property boundaries (ants don’t really care about trespassing!), one of our technicians can make recommendations based on your needs.
