Ants

From far above, ants may primarily look the same: small, dark creatures with six legs, scurrying around for food. In reality, however, there are many distinct species, not just throughout the country but in the state of Texas alone. While homeowners do not need to know the unique variations between ants, it is important to find a pest control team who can tell the difference. Depending on an ant's species, it might make its colony deep in the ground, near the surface, or even inside a house. Differing species are also not always attracted to the same baits and require specialized treatments to get rid of them.

A small sampling of the ants that our dedicated technicians can control include:

The first critical step of ant control is finding where the colony is set up and destroying the nest. Otherwise, it will be impossible to ever fully get a handle on the ants since they will inevitably keep coming back. A team of professionals will be able to identify the unique species of ant to see what kind of bait it is most attracted to. This can help establish a trail leading back to the source of the ants. Depending on where the ants are located, whether down a crack of a cement foundation or in a hole in the ground, experts will determine the best treatment. Sometimes this can be accomplished with an immediate trap, a delayed release bait, or even a combination

How to Keep Ants from Returning to Your Property

It is not enough to simply get rid of the current population since more may return in the future. The key to total ant prevention is to also use combined methods of exclusion and chemical control. Exclusion is a technique where any gaps, holes, or cracks are eliminated, often by sealing them or at least blocking them off. Chemical treatments, whether in the form of sprays or powders, are also effective when spread about the perimeter.
