Pest Control- Getting Rid of Ants

Not much scares us more than seeing termites, roaches & ants in your house. You might use some chemicals or toxic sprays to eliminate them but those sprays can’t get into all the hiding spots where creepy crawlies are hiding. You can bomb your house to try to get rid of all the termites & bugs but then you have to try to clean up. Yuck not much fun in that kind of work.  The worst of it is, they soon start coming after you again because bombing didn’t kill their eggs. Not much more frustrating than seeing them after all your hard work!

Maybe when you see termites or ants in your house you could consider calling a residential pest control service because they're the experts in finding nests & getting rid of pests permanently.


Generally, ants can build their nests inside or under your house but some termites live inside the walls, floors and roofs of your house. Usually termites live in mounds or build nests in large timber like fallen trees or the load bearing supports of your home.

Another commonly found pest is the carpenter ant. Carpenter ants can’t be destroyed easily. Carpenter ants follow scent trails to connect with the satellite colonies & the parent nest. They use the same behavior to show their nest mates the route to food.

All these pests follow a specific trailing behavior that any pest control guy is aware of. They are the trained professionals, experienced in dealing with different types of pests with different treatment solutions.
