Ants are so common you will likely wind up with an ant infestation at some point. There are some things you can do to prevent it, but ants are stubborn and highly motivated to get into your home.

-

What is the best way to get rid of ants?If you already have an ant infestation, the best way to eliminate it is to contact professionals. Most ant control products you can buy at a store won't eliminate the entire colony. In fact, they may make things worse by stressing the colony and encouraging it to spread out and reproduce faster. That's why trusting the experts is the best way to get rid of ants.
Our Ant Control Process
Our ant control process consists of multiple steps. The first step is the inspection. When we come to your house to check for an ant infestation, our technicians will walk your property looking for several things.
First, we check to see the species of ants invading your home. Knowing what kind of ants you have can help us determine how we deal with them. We also try to figure out what food sources or other attractants are drawing ants to your property and where they are coming from. Our technicians are experts in tracking ants, even to neighboring properties.
Next, we'll follow the treatment plan we formulated during the inspection. We offer several home pest control and commercial pest control solutions, including multiple bait products such as gel baits and granulars. Ants take these baits back to the colony, where they continue to kill until they eliminate the entire population.
While we have treatments that can kill on contact, the bait works much better because the ants spread it to the colony. It will look sort of like we treated your yard with sugar water. The ants will come looking for it, and then they will disappear, never to be seen again. That's why the bait products are perfect for both indoor and outdoor ant control.
