There are typically 5 types of ants commonly found in commercial and residential properties: Pharaoh, Carpenter, Pavement, Acrobat and Thief ants. Each has a different type of nesting, breeding and food gathering behaviour, making it imperative that treatment is specific to the ant type. While not all ants are potentially harmful to humans, they are a menace.
Pharaoh ants do pose a serious health concern, transmitting infectious disease because of their attraction to blood, intravenous fluids, body fluids and wounds.
Unlike other pests, ants have multiple colonies with each colony having its own queen. Often nests are found in inaccessible areas and may be far from the sighting of the ants. Both these conditions necessitate a long-term approach to ant control ensuring that the ants do not emerge again.
Choose Roach Remover’s solution-based approach to ant-control – it gives you many distinct advantages:
Our first step is to identify the type of ant infestation that exists. With 25 years of experience in pest control and continuous scientific research, we are able to accurately map nest locations, movement and extent of infestation in an area.
Based on the evaluation, we will then execute the remedial treatment which may include drilling small holes in walls and injecting pesticides, perimeter sprays and placing bait stations. Each ant type requires a specific chemical and bait treatment that kills existing colonies in its entirety as well as prevents potential new colonies. The treatment may vary according to the ant type. The final part is to recommend preventive measures to discourage recurrence.
