Some advice from the experts on Ant Control

Once ants create a nest, it is difficult to get rid of them. The goal is to kill the queen ant, which never leaves the nest. Although ants do not generally carry disease, they are still an unwanted pest that should be taken care of quickly and safely. Ant infestations are generally a summertime issue as ants look for cooler climates and fresh food sources. There are definitely options available for the homeowner to try to handle the situation on their own, but for a thorough and effective job, a professional pest control company is often the best solution.

Here are a few measures you can take to both keep ants from entering your home and deal with them once they do.

Ant Spray

Ant spray kills ants quickly, and it is easy to wipe off the surface once you’re done. However, spray won’t kill the queen ant, so unless you’re using it as a backup method, your ant problem will most likely persist.

Simple housekeeping solutions

One of the best ways to combat ants is to keep them from entering your home. Ants come indoors searching for food and if they aren’t able to find any, most of the time they leave. Keeping surfaces clean and sanitary, sweeping and vacuuming often keeps ants away.

Keeping food in the refrigerator and/or in sealed containers also keeps ants away.

Hire a professional pest control company

Because ants colonies often create nests inside damaged walls, your best recourse for ridding your home of these pests is to contact a professional pest control company. They can help find the nest, kill the queen ant and seal up areas where an ant colony is likely to make a home. With the proper pest control, you can get rid of these pesky critters.
