What to Expect From Our Ants Control Services

Ants, known around the world as an industrious insect, are among the most common creatures in the world, with over 10,000 known species.

Ants live in structured communities that may be found underground, in mounds, or even in trees. They have queens that lay eggs and perpetuate the colony. Worker ants, normally seen by humans, function as food-finders and care for the queen’s offspring, among other duties.

While some species of ants are not generally harmful, there are some, such as carpenter ants, that nest in wood and are capable of damaging buildings. 

For this purpose, it may be a good idea to eliminate ant populations in the home. Our ant control service guarantees fast-acting treatments and high-quality, non-toxic industrial-level products that ensure the safety of your employees or family and pets.

The Process of Ants Control

When you see one ant, you can be sure that there are many more. They become attracted to your home/ office primarily because they are seeking out sources of food. They may also view this as shelter and protection from predators. The combination of the two allows for the expansion of their colony, which can be a problem.

Ant infestations do not necessarily mean your home is dirty. It may just mean that your home is an ideal location for their living needs. This is a cause for concern especially as the weather gets warmer. Swarms of winged ants migrate and search for places they can begin new colonies; in some cases, they may even set up shop between your walls. 

When ants form a trail, they leave their scent so that others一even ants that have not yet been to your home一can follow. Sometimes, the fix to this is simple: wiping the area where you see the trail with disinfectant wipes or solution. However, some circumstances are more severe.

One of the first things to do is to identify what ant species has found a haven in your home. Determining species provides answers to nesting sites, preferred food sources, and the most appropriate approaches to ant control.

We at KL1 Pest Control will conduct a site inspection and draw up a treatment plan based on your specific situation. It is important to note that you can help ensure the treatment’s effectiveness by observing sanitation practices to fend off ants colonies.

These include keeping food in airtight containers, keeping trash cans closed, throwing out garbage regularly, and vacuuming daily especially hard-to-reach areas.

Why Choose Us for Ants Control

Although there are things you can do by yourself to prevent ants from coming into your home/ office, colonies may still persist because they are undisturbed at the source: the queen ant (who lays eggs). As long as the queen survives, the need for food continues.

Even over-the-counter treatments against ants may not be 100% effective if you have an infestation. Professional pest control services are the tried and tested way to get rid of infestations. Sometimes, special equipment is required to access colonies.
