Ant Facts
Ants have a distinct anatomy with a head, thorax, and abdomen. The ones you commonly encounter are worker ants responsible for foraging. Known for their effective communication, these ants can establish colonies comprising hundreds of thousands of individuals.
Ants construct extensive and intricate tunnels beneath the surface to establish nests. These nests typically feature numerous entrances and exits, enabling colonies to relocate swiftly. While this mobility can pose challenges, our integrated approach to pest management ensures effective solutions for any pest-related issue that arises.

How We Solve Your Ant Problem
Kitchen cabinets and pantries are common areas where efforts are made to remove ants. Dealing with ant infestations firsthand can be challenging for homeowners. There are several common methods to address ant problems, including liquid sprays, gel applications, or granule bait treatments.
Indoors:
Spray Application – To prevent a rise in activity levels, it may be necessary to apply a spot treatment throughout the interior of your home. This specially formulated spray should be focused on entryways, areas under sinks, cracks, and corners.
Gel Application – If pests keep coming back, we might need to use gel bait. This bait acts as food for the ants and helps bring it back to their nest.
Outdoors:
Power Spray Application – Our foundational power spray is a highly effective method for reducing pest populations on your property. By sealing the home’s foundation and perimeter, you can ensure that pests won’t be able to breach your property lines or enter your home.
Granules – Our granulation treatment is perfect for addressing hot spots around the exterior foundation. We strategically bait select high-traffic areas to ensure effective pest control.

Common Types of Ants
In every area, you’ll typically find various species of ants, including fire ants, Argentine ants, pavement ants, and carpenter ants. Each of these ant species has distinct characteristics that influence how they impact your property. To effectively address and manage each species, specialized servicing is necessary.
Fire Ants
Fire ant colonies are usually extensive and feature multiple queen ants. When these colonies are disrupted, the queen promptly relocates the colony to a new nesting site. A fire ant bite results in intense and immediate pain, with the itch from the sting lasting for several hours. For some individuals, allergic reactions to the venom can impact the nervous system.
Argentine Ants
Argentine ants are highly efficient foragers, particularly favoring sweets containing sucrose. They reproduce through a process called budding, where after mating, they depart with a group of workers to initiate a new nest. This marks the commencement of super-colony formation. These colonies are typically located in damp areas near food sources. When outdoor conditions become unfavorable, Argentine ants may seek food and shelter indoors.
Pavement Ants
Pavement ants build nests beneath sidewalks, foundations, and driveways. They have a habit of entering buildings in search of food, as their nests are typically located near structures. Their preferred food source is honeydew from aphids and mealybugs, and they even protect these insects to ensure a steady supply of food. You can usually spot pavement ants by the mound of soil they create near their nest.
Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants dig into wood to create their nests, which can be a serious problem because they can weaken structures. These ants are the biggest of their kind and can be black, brown, or slightly lighter in color. Although they don’t consume the wood, they do leave piles of sawdust near their entry points. Carpenter ants usually choose soft, water-logged or decaying wood to nest in. While they don’t sting, their strong mandibles can give a bit of a pinch.
Ant problems often stem from inadequate cleanliness. Leaving dirty dishes, untidy counters, or crumbs on the floor can attract ants. Once colonies start to form, ant problems can escalate rapidly. In short, ants are drawn to food.
Ants go through four stages of development: egg, larvae, pupae, and adult. In the egg stage, which lasts 1-2 weeks, ants progress to the larvae stage primarily focused on eating. Following molting, the ant enters the pupae stage, resembling the adult but starting off white and gradually darkening. Adult ants, whether queens, workers, or males, darken as they age. Adults engage in activities such as mating, foraging for food, or defending the colony. Remarkably, some queen ants can live up to 30 years.
Fortunately, only a limited number of ant species possess the ability to sting. While fire ants are known for a lingering sting that may result in a welt and potentially trigger an allergic reaction, stinging is generally rare among most ant species. Instances where a sting leads to a reaction requiring medical attention are uncommon.
