How Ant Infestation Occurs
Food supply especially sugary foods: When sweet foods lie around your home they are an excellent target for ants. Therefore the ants will penetrate through cracks, crevices, windows as well as walls. This makes it advisable to keep food in tightly closed containers and seal all cracks and crevices that may act as potential ant entry points.
The presence of an ant nest near your home: In the case of an ant nest inside or around your home there is a high probability that the ants will invade soon. To prevent various ant colonies from nesting around the home, you should have regular inspections of your home surroundings. That’s something we can do.
Techniques for Ant Removal and Extermination
- Identification of the ant nest and use of a chemical to attract the working ant which will bring the poisonous foods to the queen ant, killing her and subsequently killing the whole colony
- Use of Boric acid (primarily sold as borax}: the acid is mixed with several ingredients such as honey or peanut butter or sugar and water. The mixture is then spread over the area where the ants have infested. The sugary ingredients attract the insects while the acid poisons them.
- In situations where we must adhere to organic guidelines, we often use a vinegar mixture: the vinegar acid is obviously very acidic and therefore the carpenter ants try to avoid it. We have proprietary recipes, but we generally mix the acid and water in a ratio of 1:1, add ingredients such as garlic powder, pepper, and eucalyptus and apply it to ant trails and other telltale areas where we know the ants are traveling.
- Use of ant honey pots which divert the ant’s attention to the honey pot and not your house. Our ant removal experts usually place a bowl with honey outside your home but not far from the ants camp. The ants will shift their attention to the honey pot and as they continue to feed we move the pot further from your home and spray them with insecticide sprays which eradicates them around your home environment
- Use of baits and traps.
- Sterilization discs that will sterilize the ant population and prevent them from reproducing.
