Send the Ants Marching! Ants in the sink… Ants in the cereal.
As much as we love to watch these fascinating creatures in action, your home is no place for ants.
A colony in your home can quickly become a nuisance or an emergency.
Ants can:
- Ruin your food
- Bother your pets
- Turn your peaceful haven into what feels like a disaster zone
Ants are persistent creatures. Once they enter, the situation can escalate.
How to Send Those Ants Marching
You’ve probably tried DIY options. Home remedies and basic prevention can certainly help.
Basics of DIY Ant Prevention:
Clean
Prevent the infestation from occurring to begin with. Sweep more often. Remove crumbs and scraps of food that may attract ants.
Properly Store Food
Keep all food within well sealed containers, checking to make sure any stores or pantries are clean and that your food remains safe.
Trim Brushes and Trees
Make sure to keep a clean perimeter around your home and business to remove access points for ants to make it to your home.
When Should I Call Humboldt Termite & Pest Control?
If you find yourself overwhelmed by the sheer volume of ants, or if you’re having difficulty finding the correct method for treatment, don’t hesitate to contact a pest control professional.
Our products are designed with significantly higher and different standards than over the counter poisons and can be more effective and efficient at resolving your ant problems. Humboldt Termite & Pest Control’s first priority is the safety and happiness of our customers as well as being as environmentally friendly as possible. All of our materials are EPA approved and all technicians have been thoroughly trained on industry safety regulations and guidelines. The products we use are the same products that are used on sensitive areas such as schools and hospitals.
Beat the Stress!
There is no wrong time to contact a pest inspector. If you’ve got pests such as ants running around your home, it can be stressful. Our job is to make sure they leave you alone and keep your family and investments safe.
A single ant within your home shouldn’t be cause for concern. This little bug could simply be from your clothing from going outdoors. However, finding multiple ants running around in a specific area like the kitchen could very well be cause for concern.
Ants are scavengers, meaning that they are actively looking for food. Our first recommendation is that you clean everything you can and make sure your food stores are safe and tightly sealed. After that, if the ants keep coming and you cannot find the source, we would recommend our services.
That noted, if you find a long string of ants within your home, pest inspectors are trained to not only help resolve the current infestation but also protect you from future occurrences. It can be incredibly cost effective to bring a professional in to not only resolve your current infestation, but to help protect you against future occurrences.
