Ant Control

• Spraying: Gives immediate control, and also provides a residual for extended control
• Baiting:  This process does not give immediate control, but will usually result in a longer time period of control.  There is also no odor with our bait application.
• Spraying gets rid of the ants that come in contact with the pesticide, where baiting targets the heart of the nest itself, resulting in a more permanent solution.

Please give us a call so that we can help rid your home or business of all types of annoying ants.

Some facts about ants:

• Destructive ants include fire and carpenter ants. Others ant types include the honey, Pharaoh, house, Argentine, and the thief ant.
• All ants share one trait: They’re unsightly and contaminate food.

• Carpenter ants range in size from one-quarter inch for a worker ant to up to three-quarters inch for a queen.
• A carpenter ant colony can have a long life span. Each colony is founded by a single fertilized queen that establishes a nesting site in a cavity in wood.
