Ants are incredibly annoying to deal with. You see one crawling in your kitchen, then you see another scurrying across your dining room table. At this point, you’re probably wondering how to keep ants away!

We’ll be the first to tell you that there are many ant control tips and tricks on the internet. Now, do they work? That’s up for debate, but the pest experts at Ehrlich Pest Control are committed to making sure your ant control issues are handled swiftly and safely.

For home and business owners who aren’t familiar with pest control, let alone ant control, we’re here to explain what qualities you should look for when hiring a pest control company to get rid of ants for good.  

 

Integrated Pest Management Practices

Integrated Pest Management or IPM is an effective yet environmentally sensitive approach to pest control that uses a combination of common sense practices to remove pests, like ants, and prevent them from returning in the future.

IPM reduces the dependency on harmful pesticides and they are only applied when necessary. Each pest control issue a customer faces is unique, which is why it’s so important to pinpoint the source of your ant infestation and devise an ant control plan suited to your needs.

Proven Ant Repellents & Deterrents

Certain species of ants require specific ant repellents and deterrents in order for the ant colony to be exterminated. Your pest specialist should be trained to identify ants and locate their colony so the source of your ant infestation will be targeted during our treatment process.

Ant Prevention Tips

Your pest specialist should be able to provide you with ant prevention tips to help deter ants from returning in the future. Some of these tips include:

  • Store food, especially pet food, in airtight containers
  • Clean up food and drink spills immediately
  • Sweep away food crumbs on kitchen floors and counters
