Common Ants
Professional Common Ants Control Services
Common Ants (like Pharaoh or Argentine Ants) are prevalent, highly social household pests, capable of rapidly establishing large colonies and contaminating food sources. The worker ants constantly forage for food and water, using chemical pheromone trails as their primary communication. They locate indoor food sources by sensing sugar, moisture, and tiny access points in kitchens and structures, and they are typically active during daylight hours. While most ants are not directly dangerous, their presence and widespread trails carry various bacteria and pathogens onto food and surfaces. Uncontrolled infestations near residential or commercial food areas quickly lead to extensive food contamination, public health risks, and a disruptive nuisance issue that demands professional identification and treatment.
How We Control Common Ants for You
Targeting the Population: Targeted Baiting and Residual Treatment
Our primary methods for immediate control involve Targeted Baiting and Perimeter Residual Treatment. Targeted Baiting involves applying slow-acting gel and liquid baits directly to active trails and foraging areas, allowing worker ants to ingest the insecticide and carry it back to eliminate the queen and the entire colony. Conversely, Perimeter Residual Treatment involves carefully applying a long-lasting liquid insecticide to common exterior entry points (like foundation cracks and windowsills) to kill foraging ants upon contact and prevent new entry.
Breaking the Cycle: Exclusion and Monitoring
To comprehensively prevent re-establishment and future problems, we utilize Exclusion Techniques and Targeted Monitoring. Exclusion involves sealing all potential entry points and access routes (such as pipe penetrations, gaps beneath doors, and foundation cracks) that ants use for entry or travel, making the structure inaccessible. Targeted Monitoring applies visual inspections and detection devices to track trail activity, identify emerging satellite colonies, and locate the primary nest location. This layered approach is a critical part of our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy.
Signs and Symptoms of Common Ants Infestation Problems
Common Ants Infestation Signs
Frequent sightings of active worker ants trailing along baseboards, walls, window sills, or countertops, particularly near food sources.
Noticing fine piles of sawdust or debris (frass) near wooden structures, indicating the presence of Carpenter Ants boring tunnels.
Locating tiny, organized piles of dark granular droppings or discarded food particles near small cracks or entry points.
Finding small, winged swarmers (reproductive ants) indoors, especially near windows or lights, indicating a mature colony.
Observing thin, persistent trails of ants entering and exiting the exterior of the structure through foundation cracks or utility penetrations.
Common Ants Prevention
prevention tips
Seal all visible cracks, crevices, and gaps around windows, door frames, and foundation perimeters to block ant entry points.
Ensure all plumbing leaks, condensation, and sources of excess moisture are immediately repaired, as ants (especially carpenter ants) are highly attracted to water and damp wood.
Keep all human and pet food stored in tightly sealed containers and clean up all food particles and sugary spills immediately from counters and floors.
Do not leave sweet drinks, dirty dishes, or trash uncovered in kitchen or outdoor areas, and empty recycling/compost bins frequently.
Reduce clutter (like old logs, leaf piles, and cardboard boxes) both inside and outside the property to eliminate potential nesting and sheltered travel areas.
