Exterminator Services - Ant Control

David Licht, owner and operator of One Source Pest Control Service, can help you eliminate your ant infestation problem. Ant control can be a frustrating task when you’re dealing with a large infestation or specific types of ants that may be hardier than others. Most common house ants are generally harmless and more of an annoyance than a threat. They do, however, tend to travel around in unsanitary areas and could transport germs onto counter tops and into uncovered food. Carpenter ants can compromise the structure of your home if a serious infestation occurs. They tend to bore through wood, though they don’t eat it as termites do. Other common ants species would include pharaoh ants, pavement ants, odorous house ants, and thief ants.

Controlling Your Ant Infestation

There are a few steps you can take to control ants in your home. Keep all your food covered and inaccessible to very small ants. They can fit into the tiniest of spaces so sealing your food in tupperware containers is your best option. Make sure all your counter surfaces are free of any crumbs, sugary films, grease or any other food residues. Try to find where their nests are and see if it can be easily removed from your house (a potted plant or something similar). They are more likely to nest in small crevices or near moist wood. If you think you have a serious infestation, it might be best to contact an exterminator simply because some ant infestations, depending on species, can be very difficult to eliminate. Some bait and trap methods used to kill ants can be ineffective in terms of eliminating common Pharaoh ants and thief ants, for example. In those situations, using an ant spray might be a more effective ant treatment then baiting.
