Exterminators’ guide to
getting rid of carpenter ants:
• Fix moisture problems,
roof leaks, and plumbing leaks in home or business building.
• Cut back tree branches
or branches away from the roof line and walls of your structure.
• Stack firewood away
from the building, elevated off the ground to prevent carpenter ants from
nesting in it.
• Seal cracks and
openings around the foundation, especially where utility pipes and wires enter
from the outside.
Bellevue,
Wa. – As the Summer rolls out and the median temperatures of
Autumn begin, ant infestations pick up in Seattle area homes and businesses.
This means serious headaches and possible costly fixes if the infestation
is not correctly controlled.
Commercially
available sprays and control devices may work for a short time, but the
constant need to reapply and retreat becomes more and more costly. All
the while, different ant species find their way into homes via routes that
homeowners using sprays may not think of or reach.
Infestations
normally start with food, sweet foods in particular. Any food that is not
tightly sealed correctly will certainly become filled with ants and need
immediate disposal outside of the home.
Food
infestations are an issue, but the more destructive ants, those that feed on
wood cellulose, can be the most destructive. Repairs can quickly reach
into the tens of thousands of dollars if left untreated.
The
solution lies in professional treatment by certified, licensed professionals
exterminators with Seattle Ants Control. Their team of pest
exterminators come on site to do a thorough inspection before starting
any treatment. The homeowner is fully involved in the process and is not
caught unaware of a startling bill for services.
Each
member of the Seattle Ants Control team is fully licensed and bonded with the
state, so homeowners can relax in comfort knowing their pest control issues are
fully in hand. All of the chemical treatments and control
agents are safe during application.
Ant exterminators treat both inside
and outside of the home and areas where the homeowner may not have considered
or checked for infestation. Areas around drains, pipes and any egress to
the outside are a potential ant route, and the staff of Seattle Ants Control
will take every step to ensure a full and complete control each and every time.
How
to kill and get rid of ants
Ants
may enter your house foraging for food or seeking shelter. Understanding the
behavior of ants will help you with the recommended pest
control procedures. They enter through any access points they can find, foraging
for water or food. They are in search of either sweet based food or protein/grease
based foods. Once they find a food source, ants will leave a pheromone trail
for other ants to follow. Ants are a social insect that live in colonies.
Treatment plans should include killing the entire colony. Just spraying an ant
with a typical ant spray, particularly a repellent spray will only kill a few
at best.
