Ants
are a nuisance year round. A Seattle homeowner noticed a huge colony of ants
near the walls. Ants were identified as being tiny small Black Ants that are
about 1/8th of an inch long. The homeowner knew exactly what the problem was.
Because a few years ago there had been ants in the bathroom wall. Having tried,
unsuccessfully, a do-it-yourself product to eliminate the ants in the wall the
decision was made to call a professional ants exterminator.
A
favorite place for Black Ants in a home is in walls:
The little Black ants may
not always be readily seen and can find different ways to get into the
house. Outdoors the ant armies can be be seen marching in long lines. The
black ants favorite places to travel are into and out of walls. It’s
very common for folks to use over the counter products such as different
insecticides and perimeter sprays. But this may not
take care of the ant infestations. Yes infestations as there may be more
than one site infested. If using do it yourself products it’s a
huge probability that by the next day the ants will have moved the scent
highway to a new spot. Happily starting a new home in the walls in another
part of the home. The ants can even be seen marching up a tree next to the
house. Which is ideal because the tree gives the Black Ants a way to get
into the house. The ant army will use a branch to cross over to the roof.
Then it’s time to find access to the home. The frustrated homeowner
checked both inside and outside if the house. Bingo, armies galore. No
doubt about it, was the best decision to call in AMPM Exterminators.
Prevention steps to avoid
future Black Ant Infestations:
Homes with moisture
problems are ant magnets. Make sure to clean the gutters and downspouts so
that water is directed away from the home. Piles of dirt are havens for
ants and should be kept away from the foundation. Pools of water around the
perimeter is a big invitation to ants to come on in. Especially when it
rains this is an ideal spot due to the moisture. Make it a point to inspect all
plumbing for leaks. Check for any internal moisture issues in the
structure. Sealing all holes, cracks and crevices in the structure will
prevent the ants from getting into the house. For extra measure get a
recurring monthly service to spray the exterior along the foundation. Keep
all shrubs and plants under control. Tree branches should be kept pruned
back at least 10 feet from the roof. Ant bait gets carried back to the ant colonies where it is
shared to kill the colony.Once colonies are killed, then maintain the perimeter
of the structure with a monthly residual insecticide spray, spraying
foundation and soil along perimeter.
The Ants In The Wall problem
might be a Neighborhood Block Party:
The neighbors can very
well be dealing with the same type of Ant Infestation. The armies of black
ants can be partying on down between homes with new scent trails. This was even more reason to make that call to a Professional
Exterminator. The Pest Eliminators professionals and have chemicals
and equipment that are not available to homeowners. More importantly the
technician has the expertise available to exterminate the ants in the wall
infestation. AMPM Exterminators, a professional and experienced company will
treat the structure for infestation and recommend monthly follow up visits
for preventive treatments. This would be worth the cost to the homeowner
and give peace of mind.
How
to control ants wood destroyers
Carpenter
ants are most active in the evening hours foraging for all kinds of food, both
inside the house and outside. By following ants, you may be able to tell where
the nest is. Because carpenter ants keep the tunnelled galleries very clean and
push the sawdust and dead insect parts out small holes in the wood, a small,
fresh pile of sawdust under the nest timber is the usual sign of an active
carpenter ant nest. Once a nest is found, treatment is usually easy with either
an insecticide dust or spray. Injection
of insecticide into wall voids or the nest itself may be necessary to insure
complete control.
To
prevent further carpenter ant infestations, trim all trees and bushes so
branches do not touch the house and correct moisture problems such as leaky
roofs and plumbing. Paint and/or seal exposed wood construction before it
becomes wet. Replace previously ant-infested wood, rotted, or water-damaged
wooden parts of the structure and eliminate wood/soil contacts. Remove dead
stumps on the property and store firewood off the ground and away from the
structure. Ants are a major annoyance to homeowners and are difficult to
control. The importance of good sanitation to eliminate food sources, although
good sanitation may not control an ant infestation by itself.
