The Dangers of an Ant Infestation

Ants may seem like harmless pests that simply scurry around your home, searching for crumbs. The truth can be much darker, as ant infestations can create serious problems.

First, consider the fact that ants spread bacteria and diseases. Many spread salmonella. They often carry harmful microorganisms, too, and they contaminate food and surfaces.

Moreover, certain ant species, such as fire ants, inflict painful stings. For many, these bites result in small, swollen bumps that itch incessantly. However, others can cause life-threatening allergic reactions.

Ant infestations can also aggravate respiratory issues such as asthma, especially in people who are already sensitive to allergens.

Ants can endanger your home or business, too. An infestation can also cause extensive structural damage. Much like termites, some ants chew through wood. They even eat their way through insulation and electrical wiring.

Our Professional Ant Control Process

We generally begin with a thorough inspection of your property. During this step, we identify the type of ant invading your space. Knowing the species allows us to determine the most effective control method.

The ant control process typically involves using a pesticide. Our trained technicians can safely apply these substances with minimal disruption to you, your family, coworkers, and pets. We may also use baits and traps to help eradicate the ant colony.

After we complete our work, we can advise you on preventative measures that keep ants from returning.

Helpful Tips for Keeping Ants Out of Your Home or Business

Here are some steps you can take to keep ants away:

• Store food in airtight containers to keep ants from getting in.
• Seal cracks and crevices around your home. Doing so makes it harder for ants to enter.
• Keep your kitchen and dining areas clean. Immediately deal with food crumbs and spills.
• Trim trees and shrubs that are close to your building. Ants are usually found in shrubbery.
