Ants present a unique challenge to pest control companies for many reasons. More than 30 species of ants can be found in and around North American structures including carpenter ants, ‘sugar ants’ or odorous house ants, fire ants, pharaoh ants, argentine ants and more. Successful ant control requires exact ant identification as treatment methods can vary substantially; for example, Carpenter Ant control requires a comprehensive Wood Destroying Organism service whereas fire ant control or ‘sugar ant’ control may target extermination of a specific nest location.
Depending on your environment, the season, and the type of ant issue being handled, successful ant control often requires a regular maintenance program. It may also take more than one service visit to fully eradicate the problem, as most ant species tend to establish multiple colonies within a reasonably small vicinity.
