How to Get Rid of Ants...

In the pest control industry, ants are considered one of the hardest pests to exterminate. If you take a closer look at the biology of ants, its no surprise. While you may only see a few ants inside you home at a time, in reality, the ant colony is compromised of thousands of individual bugs, but should be treated as one organism.

Finally, it is important to understand why ants invade structures in the first place. Ants do this for many reasons. Ant colonies are simple pests, they need food water and shelter to survive. When we find ants inside a home, it is because the ant colony has all three of the above-mentioned factors in close proximity. In order to guarantee ants won’t return after our pest treatments are complete do the following. Eliminate any food sources by cleaning the kitchen thoroughly as well as keeping your trash can at least 50 feet away from your home. Next, remove any debris piles like leaves or mulch from next to the home, these create harborage areas for ants and other pests. Finally, make sure all water faucets inside and outside are turned off to eliminate extra water sources for the ant colony.
