Ants

Ant Exterminator


Incredible strength, teamwork, diligence, and dexterity, and if you were talking about an athletic team, there would be nothing but admiration for these traits. But when the creatures with these attributes are in a long line carrying sugar from your countertop, across your kitchen floor, and into a cupboard, you're probably not going to be nearly as impressed.


 North America is home to nearly 1,000 species of ants. Their natural habitat is a crucial component of the ecosystem, eating decayed material, excavating the earth, and maintaining nature's precarious balance. But in your home or office, they don't do much for your balance of nature. Some, like fire ants, bite, leaving small amounts of acid in the puncture. They can be very painful, rarely attack alone, usually swarming a perceived threat with dozens, perhaps thousands of fellow biters. 


Carpenter ants can mimic the behavior of termites. While they are not as destructive as their insect relative, they build colonies, sometimes massive, in the walls and ceilings, eventually doing significant damage. Those little telltale scratches you think you hear late at night, they might be the footsteps of millions of unwanted visitors crawling in the walls of your home.


Unsuccessful home remedies abound for pest control. What do you do? You could spray, but that doesn't work as resistance to over-the-counter pesticides grows. You could pile up traps around the house, and after a few weeks, you'll find that doesn't work either. You can try a sugar solution in a jar lid to capture a few hundred, but their colonies can number in the millions. Drawing a chalk line or laying cinnamon is not a long-term answer either. 


Or you could call At Ease Pest Solutions. We are expert pest control professionals, and that is what it takes to deal with an infestation.

Ant damage in America reaches millions of dollars yearly, and their nests are a perfect harbor for bacteria, mold, and mildew when moisture conditions are right.
