Ant Pest Control & Exterminator

Extermination agencies and companies view insects, specifically ants, as their sole enemy regarding household pests. However, it's a business opportunity for them when they are called to conduct either extermination or control procedures.

Ants are social insects that live in large colonies that have workers and reproducers in the colonies. Most ant species prefer dead logs and hollow trees; they use these structures as nests and breeding grounds. Furthermore, ants in woods are less damaging than termites since they don't consume wood as they cannot digest cellulose.

Ants' inclination towards having nests is to have shelter to protect themselves from their enemies and precarious weather conditions. The other reason for nesting is to access their resources easily, especially food and water. Ants can eat a variety of things for food but not cellulose.

Getting to the Bottom of Ant Problems in Dallas-Fort Worth

Ants can invade your home for various reasons. Food, water, and houseplants are the three primary factors attracting ants to your home.

Ants enjoy most human foods, especially sugary foods, and require water to survive. So if you leave something out on your countertops or drop breadcrumbs, you attract ants to your home. Other ants are responsible for water collection. Initial scouts will leave a smell trail for additional ants to follow, and what began as a trickle will quickly become a near-constant stream of ants transporting riches back to the nest.

Occasionally, ants will investigate your houseplants. Flower fragrance or moisture in the plants might attract ants. They mobilize other ants to enjoy the scent or moist areas if they find good parts. Although most ants do not eat plants, they can cause significant damage by destroying their beauty. In the worst cases, they can cause plant death.

How You Can Prevent Ant Infestation

Ants are hardworking and persistent insects. However, you can prevent their infestation by applying the following tips:

  • Maintain trimmed landscaping: Trees should be about 6 inches far from the houses.
  • Ensure the doors and window weather-stripping is not worn or missing.
  • Seal any gateways pest could use to get  into your home.
  • Use fine-mesh to screen the attic vents and all vents in adjacent rooms.

In most cases, a combination of baits and conventional treatment approaches is effective. For impressive results, you must identify the ant colony and deal with it thoroughly. Doing so prevents re-infestation. A professional technician from SafeHaven Pest Control will eliminate your ant infestations in Dallas-Fort Worth.

How We Solve Ant Problems

The use of inefficient chemicals or poor spraying stresses the ant colony leading to partial dissociation in the colony. The chemical releases a trigger or rather a pheromone that causes the queens to separate through a process known as “budding”. 

The queens separate because they move in opposite directions, each with a portion of the colony. Then, after a brief absence, the ants will return vigorously to several locations. During ant control, it is necessary to employ a chemical that ants cannot smell.

Refrain from spraying ants directly with a non-repellent substance. A certified SafeHaven Pest Control technician identifies the ant species and determines the optimal application method.
