Ants have succeeded in replacing other types of structural pests as the number one pest in homes in many parts of the United States. Proper identification by a pest control professional is vital to the control and elimination of ant infestations. Ants can pose serious health risks and should not be tolerated because of their potential for disease transmission. Ants have been known to carry Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus, Salmonella, Clostridium and Bordetella.  Ants are annoying and at times dangerous because of their bites and/or stings and certain ants can cause damage to wooden structures. Ants have even been known to make nests in computers.

Consult a Professional

Regardless of what pest is pestering you, consult a pest control professional.
Common pest control techniques can often compound your pest problem by re-routing pest activity. The misapplication of chemicals in the home can cause the formation of new nests, as well as potentially contaminating your environment.  Call on a pest control specialist who can properly identify the pest, treat infested areas with the proper products and take back control of your home and environment for you.
