Sick of ants infesting your home? Our professional staff at Bug Squashers of Maryland is here to assist.
Ants will quickly take over your space, invading your home through tiny crevices and corners. Bug Squashers provides a thorough, effective process that eliminates ants and keeps them from re-infesting for good. Here's how we repair your ant problems:
Our process starts with a thorough home inspection of both the interior and exterior of your home. We examine your home for signs of ant activity, including trails, nests, and points of entry. Knowing the type of ant and where they like to travel allows us to develop the best course of treatment for your particular scenario.
Once we know where the ants are originating from, we find their colonies or nests. Ants usually nest in secret locations such as walls, below floors, or outside near the foundation. Once we find the source, we can attack the source of the problem directly, instead of only treating the apparent symptoms.
With a clear vision of the problem, we use specific treatments in the areas where ants are most active. This can include liquid treatments, bait stations, or granular products, depending on the species of ants. We put these treatments along ant trails and around the nests to ensure thorough eradication.
To avoid future infestation, we seal all cracks on your house. We check windows, doors, foundation cracks, and other vulnerabilities to make sure that ants cannot get back in. We will also advise you on how to keep your house sealed and clean to further reduce the chances of reinfestation.
Ant control is not a procedure once, but a process. We have follow-up visits to monitor how effective our treatments are. We will adjust our strategy and re-treat as needed to eradicate the issue once and for all.
You can be confident with Bug Squashers of Maryland that your home will be ant-free and remain so, with our complete and guaranteed pest control services.
Ants can seem innocent, but if you see one or two, then it is normally a sign of something more serious. These tiny creatures can come into your home looking for food, water, or somewhere to live, and their colonies can grow quickly. The following are some of the typical signs that you can have ants taking over your home.
The most glaring indication of an ant infestation is the presence of ants in a trail, typically to a food or water source. Ants deposit a chemical trail that they use, so the presence of multiple ants marching in the same direction indicates that you're probably dealing with more than a few wayward ants. When you notice these trails, you need to start searching where the ants are coming in.
Ant colonies are usually seen in dark, secluded places, such as walls, beneath the floor, or even beneath the foundation of your house. You see little dirt or sawdust piles, particularly near entrances to your house, and it indicates that ants have nests in or around your house. Colonies also show up in your yard if you have outdoor ant colonies.
When you see dead piles of ants, it could be that there is a massive infestation. Ants are a social species, and when the colony is interrupted or is subjected to something poisonous, they often die in groups. Dead piles of ants, especially where food or water is available, cannot be ignored.
Ants are constantly on the lookout for food and water. If you see ants in the kitchen, bathroom, or pantry, they are probably seeking something to eat the colony. Ants will infest pet food, sweet foods, or spills, so keeping the spaces where you store food clean might discourage them. If you see ants on your food, it is a sign that the nest is close.
Although ants are most often more of an annoyance, some species actually cause damage. Carpenter ants, for example, tunnel into nests by excavating wood, normally in structural parts of your home. Wood shavings or deformed wooden surfaces may be a sign that ants have created a home in your home.
If you see any of these indicators, it's time to bring in the experts. Ants can spread fast if they are not maintained. Bug Squashers of Maryland will be able to eliminate the problem and keep it from happening again.
Ants are one of Maryland's most persistent home intruders. They're tiny, obedient, and constantly on the lookout for food and water. You might have a few ants in the kitchen today—but tomorrow, you'll be facing an army of hundreds. Ants will share the path with the entire colony once they find a food source through scent trails that are invisible to the human eye. Their teamwork is impressive, but relentless.
Ants are not just at the bottom of your sink. A colony consists of thousands—even hundreds of thousands—of ants with complex tunnels and multiple queens. Some colonies span multiple rooms or even different areas of your lawn. That is why surface sprays or baits do not always succeed—they simply cause the colony to relocate to another area or expand further within walls.
Whereas most ants are merely a pest, carpenter ants are actually destructive. They burrow into wood to create nests, which over time can compromise the integrity of your home. They don't consume the wood like termites—but their digging can lead to long-term problems. You may never even realize they're in your walls until damage is completely done. Insulation, framing, and baseboards are all at risk.
Ants leave pheromone tracks, which bring others to food. That's why cleaning your counters doesn't always work—they've already "mapped" your home. Ants are quick to learn and understand where to go. The longer you wait, the harder it is to eliminate them, particularly when it's warm.
Over-the-counter baits and sprays kill only surface ants. The real problem is way deeper in the nest. With home pest control, ants will just keep coming back—especially if it's warm or when it rains. You need professional products that target the queen and nest, not worker ants.
At Bug Squashers of Maryland, we identify the type of ant, locate the colony, and destroy the entire colony. From odorous house ants to pavement ants to carpenter ants—our tools and technology will squash the problem for good.
Don't let the ants take over your home—Bug Squashers awaits your call.
