ANT CONTROL
Ants can be incredibly difficult to eradicate due to their complex social structures and ability to relocate colonies quickly. Certain types of ants, like carpenter ants, can cause significant structural damage to your home. Our professional ant control solutions offer targeted solutions, expert identification of ant species, and access to powerful treatments.
PROFESSIONAL ANT CONTROL
Ants are a problem in many households, and numerous scenarios can cause an ant infestation. However, three main causes can attract ants to your home:
- Food: Ants are consistently looking for food and available moisture. Chances are, if you see them in your home, they’re huddled around crumbs or a liquid spill. It depends on the species and season, but ants typically like sweet foods or protein-based foods.
- Water: Ants are attracted to damp areas, including areas with standing water. They’ll even chew on wet towels or clothes to get water out.
- Shelter: Ants might find suitable nesting sites within undisturbed areas of your home, such as crawl spaces, wall cavities, and electrical boxes. Some ant species, like carpenter ants, establish satellite nests in addition to their main colony. These satellite nests can be located indoors within the structure of your home, such as in walls or wooden structures.
WE KNOW ANTS
While DIY methods can work to remove a few ants, they are unlikely to fully eliminate them. Different types of ants require different ant control treatments.
Determining if you have a small ant problem or an ant infestation can be difficult. Seeing even just a few ants can indicate a larger problem. Ants are social insects, so where there is one ant, there are likely hundreds or thousands more waiting to invade your home. They can invade without warning and can be challenging to eliminate without an ant exterminator.
Indications of a more established ant infestation can include:
- Ant trails can be a few ants within your home traveling in a line. Ants can also leave sawdust trails, a serious sign of a carpenter ant infestation.
- Ant nests can look like small piles of dirt or soil, typically hidden outside or on your property. They can indicate where ants have dug beneath the ground and created underground tunnels.
- Ant mounds can be found around a property’s exterior.
- Wood shavings around your home can be a common sign of carpenter ants.
- Ants crawling in and out of outlets and/or tiny gaps around your home can indicate they have found their way into your walls.
KEEP YOUR HOME FREE OF ANTS WITH SIMPLEX PEST CONTROL
Ants can be difficult to remove on your own, so it is best to contact the professionals at Simplex Pest Control for ant pest control. Our technicians will examine your property and determine the best ant removal option for your home.
Our ant control recommendations will vary depending on the ant species present, the infestation size, and its location. Our technicians will identify entry points, nests, and travel paths to suggest the best solution and prevent future ant infestations. They will then use a combination of residual (lasting) material and baits to help eliminate the colonies present.
When deciding how to get rid of ants on your property, we commonly utilize non-repellent insecticides, which are undetectable to pests. Once the ants come into contact with the non-repellent insecticide, they carry it back to the colony. This process is called trophallaxis or the “transfer effect.” Ants can pass the insecticide to other ants through grooming and feeding, inadvertently spreading the toxic substance throughout the colony and helping to eliminate them.
