What you need to know:

There are many different species in our area.  Some are a harmless nuisance while others can do significant damage to your home.  There are two kinds of ants, some that will usually nest in wood and some that will usually nest underground.  Any wingless ant you see out of its nest is an adult sterile female worker of that particular species no matter the size or color.  Winged ants will be male or female reproductives of that species.  Common species in our area include the carpenter, pavement and the odorous house ant.

Control Measures:

There are many different treatments available including baiting and residual spraying.  Either method has many different possibilities depending upon the situation.  The best control usually involves locating the nest and treating it with an appropriately labeled insecticide.

The difference:

We spend the time to find the nest.  We have found that most ant nests are located on the exterior walls.  Consequently, most of our treatment is to the outside to target likely nesting areas.  We offer flexible service plans designed to fit your particular circumstances and budget.  Treatments are part of our residential service plan or an annual “ants only” service plan.
