How to get rid of ants

While a wide range of do-it-yourself products are available for ants, many times effective ant control requires a professional pest control service to gain control and prevent a recurrence.

Ehrlich technicians are skilled, experienced professionals – they are state-certified, licensed specialists and are required to participate in regular training programs to maintain their expertise. They understand the habits of each species and use that knowledge when developing a control program for your home. They also have respect for you, your family, your home, your business, and your time.

Getting rid of ants in your home and business

Many homeowners struggle with DIY ant control remedies as the results are often less than satisfactory. Small problems can develop into large ones and this is when many people seek out the services of a pest control professional to prevent future infestations.

In the commercial environment ants are more than just a nuisance. They can cost you money and harm your reputation. This is particularly true in organizations that handle food - like food processing plants and restaurants and bars - or need to keep areas sterile in businesses such as healthcare facilities and pharmaceutical industries. Premises like warehouses and food retail stores that store food and water need to make sure they have the highest standards of hygiene – and that means being ant-free.

Without adequate ant control in your business you could suffer from:

• Waste - Contaminated food and other products will have to be thrown away, costing you money and resources.
• Fear - Infestations in places like hospitals and care homes can spread pathogens (e.g. pharaoh ants) and alarm patients or residents, leading them to question your hygiene standards.
• Reputation damage - If your reputation suffers so too will your profits, as customers are put off by the presence of ants.

Treatments for your home or business are targeted to your specific ant species. We will solve the problem quickly, while ensuring the safety of your family, pets, customers, and employees. Once the ants have been dealt with, you can take precautions to stop them from coming back.

Fire ant treatments

In the early summer, fire ant colonies are in a growth phase. Because of this, early summer is the best time to treat for them - before the colonies grow even larger. However, because of their tendency to attack in mass, it can be unsafe to attempt to treat fire ant mounds on your own. Rely on a trained pest control professional to get rid of the infestation safely.

How to prevent ants from returning

Ants will return unless changes are made around your property and within your home. You’ll want to remove the things that attract ants in the first place, so you can prevent them from returning and infesting your property again. Some of the things you can do include:

• Store food in safe and secure containers
• Sweep up food and dirt
• Remove unused pet food and secure pet food to keep ants away
• Seal up access points and holes
• Clean up food and liquid spills
