Entry
Ants have the ability to enter through the smallest cracks, looking for food water. Ants prefer sweet or greasy products.
Ideal Environment
Using the ability to enter through cracks, ants can nest about anywhere in and outside a home such as lawns, walls, stumps or even foundations.
Reproduction
Ant colonies can reach up to 300,000 to 500,000 members. Colonies can quickly relocate once the nest is threatened.
Allergies/Diseases
Itching
“Band-Aid” Solution
Most do-it-yourself ant control approaches kill only the ants you see. Some truly effective treatments can penetrate and destroy nests to help prevent these pests from returning. Also, home remedies don’t account for the fact that different kinds of ant infestations require different treatments.
Signs of Infestation
Ants leave an invisible chemical trail that contains pheromones for others to follow once they locate the food source. Spotting a trail of ants usually means a colony is near.
