Ants Pest Control Company

There are over 100 species of ants in Canada, many are structure-damaging species and can live in your home all year round. Controlling and eliminating these structures damaging species is necessary. Many ants can be difficult to remove once they establish a colony. To combat ants, the most important thing to do is to identify the species before you try to eliminate them.

Because ant pest control species of ants frequently establish colonies in populated areas, the insects often invade the homes of Canadian residents. Ants are attracted to food, foraging ants enter houses to scavenge for crumbs, oil or grease spills, sugar, and edible items regularly found in kitchen pantries. Ants can contaminate food items. Ants gain entry to buildings through cracks in the walls or foundation, as well as through gaps or other small openings that often appear where moulding or plumbing connect with the structure. Large numbers of ants can successfully invade homes by detecting and following an invisible trail produced by scouts sent previously by the colony to search for food.
