Ants in your plants ?


Some inflict severe bites but most are a nuisance pest when they infest kitchens and BBQ areas in large numbers.


Identification & Pest Control Methods


Some do-it-yourself products may provide short term relief, but may in fact, make a problem worse.  Ants are easily repelled by some common residual remedies and, without finding the colony, their repeated use can often cause a colony to move or even split into multiple colonies.  And simply killing foraging ants will not eliminate the colony since the queen remains in the colony and her sole purpose is to lay more eggs to ensure the survivability of the colony.
Pest Management Professionals (PMP’s) have at their access a variety of baits, insect growth regulators, and non-repellant materials, which can be used together in an integrated approach to solving any ant infestation.
Ants are now the number one pest problem for which homeowners rely on professional advice and remediation,  Since an interior infestation is likely to have resulted from outdoor populations, you should expect your pest management professional to perform a thorough inspection of the surrounding environment and develop a strategy to prevent reinfestation of the building.
