All it takes is one ant before you need ant control services at your home or business. The moment a single ant senses food or water, it lets off pheromones that send a signal to the entire colony. More ants follow the trail of pheromones, and the ant infestation begins.
Pest Fighter is a pest control company providing ant control services in the Seattle area. We apply a well-tested, safe, and effective solution that ants carry back to the nest. As other ants clean themselves, they ingest the ant killer which effectively eliminates the entire colony.
Types of Ants in the Seattle Area
In Washington, we have countless types of ants. Some of the most common ant invasions include:
- Carpenter Ants
- Sugar Ants
- Moisture Ants
- Odorous House Ant
- Pavement Ants
There are several other species of ants that like to invade Seattle properties in search of food and building material for their nest. Since all ants are eusocial pests, at any time, you may find thousands of ants roaming your property.
What Can You Do to Get Rid of Ants?
Ant traps and bait make it difficult to completely get rid of ants because they eliminate individual ants but don’t make their way back to the colony. But ant infestations can be prevented.
Make sure that you seal off all possible entryways as thoroughly as possible. Clean and store all food in air-tight containers. If you see a few ants, make sure you eliminate them and then wipe away their trail with soap and water so other ants don’t follow them.
However, once you have an ant invasion, its best to call an ant exterminator for quick results. If you can’t get rid of ants, contact Pest Fighter at 206-236-BUGS for safe and effective ant control services.
Pest Fighter Ant Control
There are very few DIY solutions that eliminate ant infestations. If you want effective ant pest control, it’s important to talk to a professional ant control service. Pest Fighter provides ant extermination for the greater Seattle area including parts of Pierce, Snohomish, and Kitsap counties.
Our ant control services include:
- Safe For Humans and Animals – Our Non-Repellent water-based treatment is safe for Humans and Animals because its only effective when entering into an insect’s digestive system. Because insects and humans have a different digestive system, our water-based treatment will not harm humans or animals.
- Safe Water Based Treatment – Our water-based treatment contains unscented particles that attach to the tiny hairs on their legs. Unlike over-the-counter repellents, ants can’t sense or smell the water-based treatment so they can’t avoid it. When they encounter the particles in the treatment, the particles attach to the tiny hairs on their legs. They take it back to the nest where other ants encounter the treatment. When cleaning themselves they ingest the treatment which causes them to expire.
- Where we apply the treatment – Pest Fighter will apply the treatment where ants live, where we see them, the entire exterior perimeter of the building and other areas ants use to access the building such as power lines or fences. We only inject the walls, if necessary, as the ants will track it back to their nest.
