Ants

Identifying Ants

Ants can be found throughout the United States. These social insects belong to the Formicidae family and often live in large colonies. Most ant colonies are located underground. Today, there are more than 12,000 known species of ants, but some believe there are more than 14,000 species. Ants are easy to identify because they have unique bodies and elbowed antennas. Ants are incredibly successful because they work together to achieve a common purpose. All ants in the colony are working together to survive and help the queen. As a result, you’re going to have a hard time trying to remove ants from your home.

Why Do I Have Ants?

Homeowners need to be cautious when dealing with ants. One of the biggest problems is that it is hard to know why they’re entering your home. Since they prefer living outside, they’ve likely entered your home for food or temporary shelter. Furthermore, there is a chance that the ants are looking to cross through your home in hopes of finding suitable nesting spots. Ants are determined and can enter your home through window frames, plumbing lines, door frames, and eaves.

Are Ants Dangerous?

In general, ants are not dangerous to humans or pets. Nevertheless, they create a unique problem that needs to be addressed. Once ants have entered your home, a structural problem is the biggest concern. Furthermore, ants contaminate food sources. If this happens, the food should be replaced. Ants do not carry or transmit diseases, but it is best to discard the contaminated food anyway.

How Can I Get Rid Of Ants?

Ants should be dealt with promptly. If the problem is left untreated, the ant infestation will quickly spiral out of control. During the treatment process, it is pertinent to treat each nest within the ant’s network. Otherwise, the colony will recover and continue haunting you and your loved ones. Our company offers a reliable ant program designed to identify and remove ants from homes.

Can I Eliminate Ants Myself?

Theoretically, you should be able to get rid of ants on your own. However, there is a good chance that you’ll run into several issues. For starters, you may expose yourself to dangerous pesticides. If these products are misused or mixed incorrectly, they’re dangerous. Furthermore, the products may not eliminate the ants. Instead, you’ll waste time, energy, and money. Hiring an exterminator is the best way to tackle the problem efficiently.
