Does anyone else recall an experience where they set up a blanket outside or was having a picnic and did so directly atop an ant hill? If you were outside a lot growing up, or if you are an active person in general, you definitely know what I’m talking about. Ants are one of the smallest insects that we are commonly exposed to, yet are among the most despised pests when inside your home. There is nothing worse than waking up to take a shower and your tub is overrun with tiny little pests. That is just not the way to start off a day. If you have experienced any of this, you need professional ant removal!
Ants have been around since the dinosaurs. Yes, I said dinosaurs! They are tiny little creatures yet account for incredible numbers when you think of them in context to other domestic nightmares. If all the ants on planet earth were counted up, their overall mass would roughly be equal to the mass of humans as a whole. Now that’s a lot of ants. The problem with ant infestations is that it’s not just one or two, it’s their whole colony. Although these little creatures heavily outweigh the human population, they are simply no match for our ingenuity and brainpower. Although ant removal is a task that is not uncommon in Arizona, very little companies do it well.
Ant Removal: Protect Your Home From ‘Heavy’ Hitting Pests
Ant removal is not as simple as finding where they are and spraying a product on them. Professionals must consider a number of different factors to understand what brought them there, if they spread to other areas of the property, and ultimately how to remove them safely without having them return. Our pest control professionals will inspect every inch of the homes possible infest areas, and then compile a comprehensive plan to remove them. Although spotting ants might give you an idea of where they are coming from, there needs to be incredible depth in the detection process. Due to their tiny size, ants are able to burrow under and in between most anything in your home. Ants spread faster than nearly any other insect, so that is why the inspection process is so essential.
Some things that can attract ants obviously include food, liquid, and trash. Although this is true, what really brings them into your home is sugar. I’m sure you’ve been in the park or at an outing and you see swarms of ants all around the trash cans or if you leave your plate on the ground, they come crawling over your treats. Ants have an incredible sense of smell and are attracted by things with sweet odor or that posse’s honey. Fruits are also heavy attractors of ants of all kinds. Melon is their favorite, making it nearly essential for ant removal if you either love honeydew or happen to have a plant on or near your property. Hopefully this information has proven useful and you remember; if you need ant removal, we would be glad to help!
