Ant Exterminator

Inspection:

Our trained ant control technicians will begin by conducting a comprehensive inspection of your property to identify the type of ants, the size of the infestation, and their nesting sites.

Planning:

Based on the inspection results, we will devise a customized treatment plan tailored to your situation. The plan outlines how we’ll exterminate the ants and prevent re-infestation. We work tirelessly with our customers to create the best treatment plan that accommodates their needs and challenges.

Treatment:

Our pest technicians use a combination of baiting systems and insecticide sprays to exterminate ants throughout your property. The baiting systems attract ants, and they then carry the poison back to their nests, eliminating the entire colony. The insecticide sprays directly target ant trails and nests, killing ants on contact.

• In the case of a large infestation, we might use a more aggressive approach like fumigation. This involves releasing fog or smoke infused with pesticides into the air or soil to kill the ants. While we typically reserve this solution for more dangerous pests like termites, a severe enough ant infestation can call for drastic measures.

Prevention:

Our pest techs will seal off entry points to your home or business, like cracks in walls or window sills, to prevent ants from re-entering. We can also give advice on simple preventative measures you can take, like storing food in airtight containers and decluttering to reduce shelter for ants.

Special consideration for carpenter ants:

If you have a carpenter ant infestation, we will treat the wood in your home with a special pesticide that prevents the ants from burrowing and creating more damage.

Follow-up services:

To ensure the effectiveness of their approach, RECON Pest Services provides post-treatment follow-ups. These allow them to reassess the situation and make any necessary adjustments to their treatment plan.

• Pharaoh Ants: Pharaoh ants are tiny, yellowish-brown ants that like to nest in moist areas. They can infest interior wall voids and other similar spaces.
