Ant Invasions - Control and Treatment Part II
Sometimes it feels like having spring carpenter ants is an inevitable part of the transition into the mild, wet spring weather. The ants start coming out in search of food and water that seem plentiful in your kitchen and all around your home. But the truth is that it doesn't have to be inevitable with the help from Pest-End technicians. Whether you desire prevention or require elimination of carpenter ants, Pest-End Exterminators is the place to call for the best solution at a great price. In our last blog we discussed preventing ant invasions. Now let's examine control and treatment options of this annoying pest.There are an estimated 20,000 different species of ants worldwide so knowing the types and behavior of the ants common to the New England area is critical to understanding treatment and control options. Of the numerous ant species found in New England's temperate climate, the most common ants found indoors throughout the region are carpenter ants, odorous house ants, and pavement ants. Correctly identifying the ant is important to treatment methods. The selection of a specific method depends on the species, nest location, and, in the case of baits, dietary preferences of the ant. Since the many types of ants found in New England may look and behave similarly to the untrained eye, area residents attempting to manage the insects should enlist the help of pest control professionals. Managing and treating on your own could be throwing money at the problem without treating for the right location and type of ant. Our friendly and experienced service technicians will work with your specific scenario. This could mean:
