Redmond,
WA –
The
more ants that are allowed to find the bait and carry it back, the faster the
colony will die off. Resist the urge to kill all the ants visible.
Ants will carry the bait back to the nest, unable to differentiate between the
insecticide and sugar, and the insecticide will eventually kill the entire
colony. When using a natural ant bait, if there is a more desirable snack, like
spilled soda or cookie crumbs, ants will choose that over bait. Practicing good
sanitation practices is one of the best ways to make homes or business
buildings less attractive to ants. Keep spills, crumbs, and garbage cleaned up
in the kitchen. Make sure all food especially anything sweet is stored in
tightly sealed containers or zip-lock bags. ants will get into things like jars
of honey that have drips on the side or around the lid, so sealing the jar in a
zip-lock bag will protect it.
The
most common types of ants to invade homes include black, carpenter, pharaoh,
odorous and sugar ants. Identifying the species that home or business owners
are up against is usually helpful. However, It can be difficult for someone
untrained in entomology to determine the slight difference between these tiny
insects.When dealing with ants in houses, detective work is an integral
part of eradicating them, but there’s actually much more to it. Finding the
most effective treatment for ants depends on the specific type of ants invading
homes and business buildings. Each species has different behaviors, preferences
in food, and remedies that will be effective in keeping them out of homes.Some
ants are specific to region.
How
to find the ants nest
Carpenter
ants typically live outdoors very close to the house, and eventually enter
homes in search of food and water, living in wood and tunnel through it. The
best clue to look for is small piles of very fine sawdust, the remains of the
wood they have chewed through. Typically find carpenter ant nests in moist wood
in foundations, decks, wood piles near houses, trees, gaps between boards, etc.
Taking
some time to figure out where ants are entering the house, usually track them
back to a nest. It’s easy killing all the ants in sight, then watch for new
ants to appear to determine their general entry point. This may give clues to
holes that need to be sealed up, rotting foundation where they’re living, or
cracks under doors they’re traveling under.
The
best way to learn how to get rid of ants in the house is to learn how to
prevent them. Having an ongoing service plan with a pest control professional
is the key to managing pest problems in homes and business building. Pest
control service technician will work with specific scenario and profile to
create the best approach for getting rid of ants and keeping them out of houses
in the future. This can include interior and exterior treatments, sealing up
entry points around the home and placing insect growth regulators around the
property. It’s important to practice proper sanitation techniques to keep ants
at bay. Most species of ants are simply in homes looking for food, the harder
it is for ants to gain access to food, the less time they are going to spend
looking. Unfortunately, achieving a spotless home can be difficult. What looks
like a clean kitchen at first glance might include a few granules of sugar on
the countertop, or a couple of crumbs that fell behind the stove, upon closer
inspection. This seemingly insignificant portion of food is a feast fit for a
king or an ant queen once the workers bring it back. To avoid this, don’t just
wipe down surfaces. Vacuum every day, paying close attention to the baseboards,
behind furniture and appliances as well as other areas typically missed. Ants
will get in trash, so waste management is vital to ant control. Remove garbage
from the premises immediately. Use the garbage disposal rather than leaving
food sitting around in a trash can.
Experiences
with over the counter ant sprays pesticides for ants
Ant control products that can
be purchased at local hardware store comes in many forms. It’s important to
remember that these substances may be harmful if the product label directions
are not followed. Unfortunately, they usually won’t solve an ant infestation.
Sprays are meant to kill the ants that the pesticide comes in contact with and
act as a deterrent. Most over-the-counter products have no residual (or lasting)
effect. If the ants are still able to enter homes, ants will simply find a way
around the spray. Plus, their colony will still be intact, producing more and
more ants, all of which will be hungry and head for food sources. some colonies
are nearly impossible to reach without special equipment. If a colony or nest
is located within walls, a simple spray that anyone can buy will not be
sufficient to properly treat the colony. Similarly, outdoor colonies can extend
far below the surface, which is where most over-the-counter treatments stop
working.
Inadequate
delivery of treatment, colonies can continue to thrive for one other simple
reason: the queen ant survives. Ant problems don’t start in homes, they start
in the nest. Recognizing the problem once the ants have invaded the living
space. The one sole ant in charge of populating the entire nest is the queen.
As long as she is unharmed, The queen can produce more ants to enter homes.
Complicating the matter is that the queen ant never leaves the nest after
establishing the colony, so there’s no chance getting to her when the scout
worker ants are killed in the kitchen.
The
queen creates worker ants to feed the young inside the nest, which she is
continually populating. The worker ants are the ones seen in houses. Other ants
in the colony include queens, soldiers and drones. learning to kill ants and
getting rid of ants in the kitchen, will soon be replaced with new workers by
the queen. The only way to get rid of an ant colony that’s causing problems in
homes is to get rid of the queen.
“People
deserve to have an extermination option that is safe and eco-friendly,” said
Daniel Hunts, Founder and Owner of AM/PM Exterminators. “Everyone struggles
with an insect or rodent infestation at one point or another, so forgoing
extermination services altogether is out of the question. Our commitment to the
environment and protecting our health is of the utmost importance to us.”
