Identifying the Culprit

Identifying the specific type of ant is crucial in determining the most effective treatment plan. We conduct thorough inspections to identify the species – whether it’s pavement ants, carpenter ants, or sugar ants – and assess the extent of the infestation. Our experts are trained to recognize the subtle differences between species and understand their unique behaviors and preferences.

Advanced Treatment Methods

We use state-of-the-art methods and eco-friendly products to eliminate ant colonies. Our approach includes:

  • Targeted baiting systems that attract and eliminate the entire colony.
  • Non-toxic treatments safe for your family and pets.
  • Barrier treatments to prevent future infestations.
Integrated Pest Management

Our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach combines different strategies for effective ant control. This includes:

  • Habitat modification to make your property less attractive to ants.
  • Exclusion techniques to seal entry points and prevent ants from entering your premises.
  • Education on best practices to reduce factors that attract ants.

Integration on a pest level also happens as you can benefit from our ant control as well as cockroach removal treatment together.

Why Are Ants So Hard To Eradicate?

Using do-it-yourself products often doesn’t work when homeowners are dealing with ants. These products lack the strength of those used by professionals and often only treat those that can be seen, not hidden in the home. Once ants begin dying off, others in the colony realize there is a problem and relocate, making it even harder to kill them. Property owners find that treating the home or office makes the problem worse as a result of the actions they have taken to try to resolve the problem.

How Do Ants Enter A Building?
Property owners want to know how ants get into a building in the first place. As they are so small, they can make their way into a home or business through the tiniest of cracks. This may be a minuscule space under the front door, or it may be a vent leading into the home. They nest anywhere, including stumps, under foundations, and in lawns or walls of the home. Once they make their way inside, they go in search of greasy or sweet food, often found in storerooms or pantries, along with water. Once a food source has been detected, the ant leaves a pheromone chemical trail to alert other animals to its presence. With the help of our ant pest control measures in Idaho, these pests can be removed from the building in a short period of time.
The Feeding Habits Of Ants
Ant species vary regarding what they eat. Many people assume carpenter ants eat wood just as termites do. The truth is they chew through the wood, but don’t consume it, although this may do damage to the structure. They leave behind a material that looks like sawdust, and this material can be of help in finding their nest. Black carpenter ants are commonly found in Idaho. Pavement ants are frequently seen in the state and are often referred to as sugar ants. They love to eat anything, including honeydew, honey, meat, ice, insects, and cheese. This type of insect often gets into human food, as they like the items people eat. Black ants also love to eat sweets, which helps to explain why they are also often found in kitchens.

Ant Colonies
An ant colony can grow rapidly if not removed. An ant colony may be home to anywhere from 300,000 to 500,000 insects. When the colony is threatened in any way, it will uproot and find a new location quickly. One reason ants are so hard to get rid of is the worker ant may live for seven years. The queen ant may live as long as 15 years and reproduce multiple times during these years.
