Ants and their Control

There are thousands of ant species, but only a few dozen are common pests of homes and other buildings. One of the most serious of ant pests is the carpenter ant, shown at the right.

Carpenter ants hollow out "galleries" in wood for nesting purposes. Over time, they can cause considerable damage to wooden structures. This potential for damage, as well as the specialized skills and equipment required for effective control, make carpenter ant treatment a job for a professional.

Other ants may not cause the damage that carpenter ants do, but they can still create an annoyance. In addition, some ants can carry disease-causing organisms on their bodies when they forage from filthy areas into our homes.

Controlling ant problems requires advanced knowledge of their identification, biology, and habits, as well as the latest equipment and products. That's why the easiest and most dependable way to eliminate ants from you home or business is by calling the professionals at Eliminex.
