Ant Pest Control
The Ant Problem
Ants are more than a minor nuisance; they can invade your home in large numbers, creating trails to food sources and nesting in hidden areas. Common in the East Bay are Argentine ants, carpenter ants, and odorous house ants, each posing unique challenges from contaminating food to damaging wood structures.
Why Ants are a Concern
- Food Safety Issues: Ants in kitchens and pantries can spoil food and spread germs.
- Home Damage: Carpenter ants create tunnels in wood, weakening your home’s structure.
- Health Risks: Certain ant species can bite, causing discomfort and allergic reactions.
- Stubborn Infestations: Ant colonies grow quickly and can be tough to eliminate without expert help.
Signs You Have an Ant Problem
- Ant Trails: Paths of ants leading to food or water sources.
- Nests or Mounds: Dirt mounds outside or sawdust indoors.
- Food Contamination: Ants in food containers or pantry items.
- Flying Ants: Winged ants near windows or lights, especially in warm months.
