Ant Control

Ant Extermination Solutions

Ants live in colonies both inside and outside of a home. Spraying ants with a pesticide may kill the pest itself, however, the problem won’t go away until the colony is eliminated. T&G provides a low-impact approach that not only targets where ants are harboring inside, but also the exterior of your home, as well as trees, bushes, mulch and other landscaping material.

Dealing with an Ant infestation

There are many steps that homeowners can take to deal with an ant infestation. We recommend taking the following steps:

1. Remove any food sources for ants
2. Keep the kitchen clean
3. Take out trash as often as possible
4. Wipe down all counters and floors to ensure there are no food crumbs
5. Contact T&G so we can roll out a more permanent solution as soon as possible

Potential Ant Problems

One of the biggest problems related to ants in the home is food contamination. Ants carry bacteria on their bodies, which spreads when they crawl in pantries and across countertops. Only a few species are known to transmit diseases, but finding any type of ant in pantry goods or inside the home is an unpleasant experience that creates nuisances.

Some species, like carpenter and fire ants, cause additional problems. A carpenter ant infestation can do costly damage by chewing tunnels through wood beams. Fire ant stings that involve envenomation can cause pain and more serious symptoms that often result in allergic reactions to some people who are hyper-sensitive to ant stings.
