An ANT TREATMENT can keep your home or business free from ants. But lets find out the truth about how it really works

The facts

Many pest control companies will tell you that their general pest treatment will also treat ants. Unfortunately this is not entirely true. A General Pest Treatment may keep ants at bay for a very short period of time inside your home but will not truly cover the outside of your home at all. Ants will simply close off their nest entry points and reopen them somewhere else.
​
When you are having an issue with the ants we will determine if you require an internal or external ant treatment, or both. Internally, we use a low toxic ant bait which will be placed in areas where you are seeing ants. The ants will carry the insecticide back to the nest which will kill the queen, wiping out the whole colony. Externally we will spray around the perimeter of the house. It is common to continue to see ants up to 3 weeks after treatment but if ants appeared scattered or dying our treatment is working.

There are 2 main options available to control ants in your home or business

General Pest Treatment

A general Pest Treatment has its bonuses! It treats most crawling insects inside your home for 3 - 6 months. It is unlikely that  ants nests will be completely eradicated with this treatment but you will keep them at bay for a few months so be prepared to maintain this treatment regularly. If the initial General Pest Treatment doesn't meet your needs due to the infestation being harder to control we can come back and perform a targeted treatment specifically aimed at ants for a nominal fee.

Targeted Ant Treatment

A targeted Ant Treatment would be used for severe ant infestations. The goal here is to completely eradicate ants and their nests by eradicating the queen ant. Once the queen has passed the remaining worker and soldier ants stop reproducing and the nest dies out naturally within 2 - 3 weeks. This being said other nests could crop up anywhere at anytime. For this reason a warranty is not offered on ant treatments however we have a very good track record of succesful ants nest eradication.
