Ant Pest Control Service
If you have never encountered ants in your house, office, or school, you are among the luckiest of the bunch, but if you have then you know how difficult it is to get rid of them, whether it’s a nest of pavement ants in your garage or a parade of odorous house ants marching across your kitchen counter. Ants usually aren’t harmful to humans. They don’t even spread any allergies or diseases like any other pests only excluding some species as ants have over 700 species. The only problem is that ants are very persistent and if they build a colony, which eventually they will, it will be a huge problem as they will infest the whole house.
The presence of ants in nature ensures the health of the natural environment. In homes and other buildings, however, ants aren't so welcome. The same reasons ants are successful make them very well suited to sharing man's quarters. Structures can be threatened by damage from carpenter ants. Pharaoh ants can carry disease organisms. The stings of fire ants can threaten an individual's health.
Identifying the Type of Ants in Your Home
The first step in getting rid of ants is to identify the type of ants in your home. There are several types of ants, and each one requires a different approach to control. Some common types of ants include Argentine ants, carpenter ants, and fire ants. You can identify the type of ants in your home by their appearance and behavior.
Prevention Techniques to Keep Ants Out
Prevention is key to keeping ants out of your home. Here are some techniques that you can use to prevent ants from entering your home:
- Keep your home clean and free of food debris
- Store food in airtight containers
- Seal cracks and crevices in your walls and floors
- Use weather stripping on doors and windows to keep ants out
- Keep your yard free of debris and standing water
Natural Remedies for Ants Control
If you have ants in your home, you may be looking for natural remedies to get rid of them. Here are some natural remedies that you can use to control ants:
Vinegar: Ants do not like the smell of vinegar. You can use vinegar to clean your floors and countertops to repel ants.
Baking Soda and Sugar: Mix equal parts of baking soda and sugar and place the mixture near the ant trails. The ants will eat the mixture and take it back to their nest, which will eventually kill them.
Essential Oils: Ants do not like the smell of peppermint, lavender, or tea tree oil. You can use these essential oils as a natural repellent for ants.
Chemical Treatments for Ant Control
If natural remedies do not work, you may need to use chemical treatments to control ants. Here are some common chemical treatments for ant control:
Baits: Ant baits are an effective way to control ants. The bait contains a toxic substance that the ants will take back to their nest, which will kill the entire colony.
Insecticides: Insecticides can be used to kill ants on contact. However, insecticides can be harmful to humans and pets, so it is important to use them with caution.
So, looking at all these factors going in alone to battle the ants is risky, as it won’t guarantee that ant infestation is removed from its roots.

Controlling ants in structures needn't be so difficult. To achieve success, you want to follow a couple of basic rules:
1. Identify the species of ant involved. (Critical)
2. Perform a thorough inspection.
3. Determine where the ant colonies are located.
4. Treat the ant colonies directly if possible.
5. Use baits for ant colonies that cannot be treated directly.
It is not always possible to seek out where the ant colony is located. In this case, bait insecticides placed directly in the path of ants or where ants can find them are very effective and can save a tremendous amount of time.
Service Process
So after identification of the problem, the steps which are to be taken are as follows:
1. Once the species of ants are identified, for example here we are referring to Fire ants which are very harmful to our health. Fire ants are a major health threat because of their stings
2. Once it’s confirmed what kind of species we are dealing with, the professionals will conduct a thorough inspection of the site as finding the main colony of fire ants is very crucial.
3. Regular outdoor applications of pesticides to lawns and foundations are often necessary because re-infestation from neighboring properties is common. The key to fire ant control is to locate all mounds and treat them and then prevent their re-occurrence with Insect Growth Regulators.
4. So for treating the ant colonies mounds can be treated by drenching with liquid insecticides such as Demon WP or Talstar or by baiting such as with Advion Fire Ant Bait contains Indoxacarb.
5. Advion Fire Ant Bait is the fastest active Fire Ant bait on the market and kills all life forms of ants within 72 hours of application. Indoxacarb is carried by back to the ant mounds by the workers and then fed to the ant population. It is then spread throughout the colony using food sharing by the worker ants. This slowly wipes out the whole population including the queens. Indoxacarb is non-repellent to the ants which implies that they can't sense that there's a pesticide or toxicant present which greatly encourages feeding and therefore the consumption of the bait.
An Application of a fire ant bait containing a growth regulator like Award II fire ant Bait to the whole lawn helps limit re-infestation of treated areas. This works especially well on large lawns, acreages, golf courses, pastures, etc. An outdoor perimeter application of a liquid insecticide helps to prevent their entry into homes. In slab foundations, fire ants can nest indoors in wall voids by entering the structure from below and following plumbing lines in. Bath traps, shower stalls, and water heater walls are particularly well-matched areas for fire ants.
