ANT TREATMENTS

When you think about ants, consider the unsanitary paths they travel before they end up in your home, on your counter-tops, in your cupboards and near your food so you should take steps to keep them away!

Ants externally do not get eradicated with the traditional cockroach/spider sprays and ants will usually stay away from areas that have been conventionally treated with spider or cockroach sprays.

Many companies will tell you that their general spray will also cover for ants but what they are not telling you is that the ants will just close off their nest entry points and reopen them somewhere else.

Our ant treatments will not just eradicate the surface ants but the entire nest of ants and their queen.

Internal: We will place low toxic ant bait on areas where you are seeing ant trails which the ants will carry back with them to the nest which kills the colony and queen.

External: We apply a through external treatment using spray and/or granules.

HOW THE TREATMENT WORKS?

Both the ant bait and external spray work in the same manner where the ants basically do all the work by carrying the poison back with them to the nest.

The ants are unable to determine that the bait and spray are an insecticide they walk over the product, carry it back with them to the nest, pass the chemical amongst each other whereby they are in fact eradicating the entire colony including the queen.

The benefit of this treatment too is that no matter where the nest is located, the ants will carry the insecticide with them back to the nest.
