Understanding Ants
Ants often infiltrate homes in search of food and moisture. They’re attracted to sugary or greasy substances like spilled soda, crumbs, and grease. Once inside, they establish colonies, breed rapidly, and become a nuisance. Furthermore, they can contaminate food and spread disease.
Ants Reproduction
Ants reproduce through a process called “colony budding.” This is when a mature colony splits into two or more colonies. The process begins when a queen ant lays eggs that will become the new colony’s workers. The new colony will continue to grow and develop until it becomes a fully functioning colony.

Ant Pesticides
In addition to our methods, we offer both over-the-counter and professional ant pesticides. These should be used with caution, following label instructions. Most pesticides target foragers, not the colony itself. Locating and eliminating the colony is crucial for long-term control.
