Professional Pest Control Services in Gastonia, NC

Ants can be considered pests when they start to intrude on your private space. They can, in fact, do more structural damage to your Mooresville home than termites. They feed on your food and are definitely eyesores to an otherwise beautiful house. Here are a few things you can do to get rid of ants in your home: - Seal off cracks and openings. Caulking cracks and crevices make it impossible for the ants to get into your homes. - Put your food inside sealed containers. Ants have scouts that are constantly looking for your food so be vigilant. If you remove their food source, then there is no reason for them to go inside your house. - Use ant baits. This is a key tool for managing ants. When an ant gets attracted to the bait, it signals the others to follow suit. When the ants return to their colony, it carries with them the poison which would eventually remove every ant in the nest. - Clean off food residue. Any food residue should be cleaned up whether on the table, floor, or sink. Otherwise, the ants would feast on them. - Regularly throw away your garbage. Obviously, the trash can has a treasure trove of yummy treats for ants. Regularly dispose of your garbage so it will not attract ants. Call us today at Lake Norman Pest Control!
