Controlling ants and termites

Two invasive pests that live in very large colonies that constantly send the invaders used to search for food for your home are ants and termites.

Once inside, ants can moisten your food with their saliva, and some types even sting. Termites are a more serious issue, as they can cause considerable damage to the structural integrity of your home.

Identifying Ant and Termite Infestations

Ants:

If you see a line of ants marching through your kitchen, it's important to take stock before you act. Because the best treatment will vary based on which specific type of ant has invaded your home, what they are feeding on, how they are getting in, and where their nest is located. Brown ants, for example, carpenter ants, odorous house ants, sugar ants, fire ants and more.

Termites:

Detecting a termite infestation is difficult  these pests usually come through or around your home’s foundation and eat structural wood from the inside out. Ignore the signs, and it might take weeks, months or even years for the damage to materialise. Mud tubes around your foundation are one sign of a problem with termites  worker termites build these tubes to provide safe passage from the soil to the wood in your home. For termites, you can probe any wood that may be affected. Professional Pest Control can help you identify the warning signs and take measures before the problem gets worse. Regular termite inspections can save you from devastating damage.

Professional Treatment for Ants:

Simply eliminating the pests you see in your home isn’t enough to kill ants and termites; that’s because it’s important to wipe out the colony itself including the queens. Ants can be treated with baits, which the worker ants take back to the nest, or with nest applications that hit the source directly. The pest control team will identify the correct pesticide treatment to show the door to your specific ant problem and help you remedy the conditions that attracted them in the first place. That might mean sealing entry points and controlling food sources, like sweeping up crumbs more often, rinsing dishes right after use and storing pantry items in airtight containers.

B Professional Treatment for Termites:  

Soil treatments and baiting systems are common solutions for termite infestations. Soil treatment mainly falls into two categories:

Repellent: A type of termiticide that establishes a toxic barrier around your house and is used primarily when the house is being built.

Non-repellent: Termites cannot tell that a particular area has been treated with these termiticides and will go through that area without avoiding it.

Termite Baiting & Monitoring Systems:

Termite bait stations do not require chemical spraying or trenching. Instead, bait stations are placed throughout your property, and when termite activity is found, baits can be added to the same stations.
