Ant Control (Included in our regular service package)
It seems like no matter what store bought product you buy at the store, you can never quite seem to get rid of these pesky insects. You can find ant nests anywhere, so it makes them more challenging to treat and control. They are usually found underground somewhere in the top six feet of soil (sometimes even under cement foundations!) and in trees or under rotted wood. When you find an anthill in your driveway or on your property you see hundreds of them, but in all reality you are probably only seeing 10-15% of the actual colony. Plus, female mating ants may have million of babies throughout their lifetime and colonies can number between around 1/2 a million!
You could keep trying the powder, or spray you found at the grocery or hardware store, but you've seen how effective that's been. Or you could call a professional. Pest Control Las Vegas guarantees we can get rid of any ant problem you may encounter. The ants go marching one by one...right off your property if we have anything to say about it! Here's what you can do...Like most pests, ants are searching for food, so the most important thing you can do is to make sure your home and property is tidy and free of discarded food remains. This is very important because once even one ant finds food it leaves an invisible trail of pheromones for other ants to follow.
Ants, however, can’t actually eat even tiny pieces of food they gather because their esophagus is so small so take special care of juice or syrups and anything sweet or sugary. |
