Ant Control:

Lots of ants on a board
The number one pest problem for home and business owners for which they rely on professional advice and help is with ants, a highly developed social insect. Most often, interior infestation is a result of outdoor populations becoming out of control.

A colony can number up to 300,000 to 500,000 and whole colonies can uproot and relocate quickly when threatened. Ants live in permanent nests which may be in the soil, in timber, under pavers, in wall cavities, or roof voids. A colony can live a relatively long lifetime, with worker ants living seven years and the queen may live as long as 15 years.

Ants may travel great distances in search of a food source. As such, even the cleanest of homes can experience an invasion of ants in large number, such that professional help is required. Once they’ve found food, they leave an invisible chemical trail which contains pheromones for others to follow.

Whether they’re carpenter ants, red ants, black ants (sugar ants), pavement ants, pharaoh ants, or fire ants, they are common and annoying, especially when you find them on top of your counter tops. Their small size makes it easy for them to enter your home, so locating their entry point and nest location can be a challenge. 
There may be many reasons to enlist the help of an ant exterminator when dealing with ant infestations. Licensed technicians are trained to identify the type of ant species you’ve encountered and can recommend the best form of ant containment as well as seal and insulate your home after the extermination to ensure that the invading ants will not return.

We utilize a number of methods, products, and solutions for eliminating ant invasions. Depending on the found problem, we may use:
  • Mechanical: create physical barriers that keep pests from entering.
  • Biological: introduce natural predators and repellents into the environment.
  • Pesticides: chemical and/or natural.
  • Elimination: eliminate breeding grounds, food sources, and more.

​Our team at Parker Pest Control Services cares for the safety of humans, pets, and for the environment so we make it our goal to use natural pest management methods whenever possible. 

Professional ant exterminator services should be contacted when the following problems exist:
  • Large colonies (up to 500,000).
  • Cannot be eradicated with over-the-counter means.
  • Nests cannot be identified.
  • Allergies in the family to dust or insect bites.
  • Colonies are found in insulation.

​To prevent ants from invading your home or business property to find food or water, try some of these tips:
  • Keep food in sealed containers and wipe up spills and crumbs from counters.
  • Don’t leave dishes in kitchen sink.
  • For outside garbage cans, have tight fitting lids and don’t store them against the exterior of your home.
  • Inspect for cracks and crevices to the foundation and siding of your home as well as around windows and doors and seal them.
  • Fix water leaks, including with appliances and pipes.
  • Be sure gardens and composts are not too close to your home.
