If you’ve seen ants in your home, it’s essential that you get rid of them as soon as possible. Not only do ants multiply quickly, but they’ll bring other ants into your home. Read the frequently asked questions below to learn about ant infestations and when to call an Ant Removal Ewa area professional.
Q.) What are the signs of an ant infestation in the home?
A.) If you have an infestation of ants in your home, in addition to seeing the ants, you’ll also notice piles of a substance that appears to be sawdust. Ants will leave these mounds behind after they’ve digested a meal. If you have a large infestation, you may also hear the ants as they make a rustling sound when they travel around your home.
Q.) What are some preventative measures to take to keep ants from infesting the home?
A.) Keep your kitchen counters, tables and floors clean of food and crumbs. If the ants cannot find a source of food, they’ll leave your residence and find their food elsewhere. Place open bags of food into plastic containers with lids so the ants can’t get to the food. Don’t leave uneaten pet food in bowls on the floor. Inspect the area around your window frames for gaps and cracks where ants can enter your home. If you find any open spaces around your windows, place caulking in the cracks to seal them.
Q.) What will a pest control technician do to get rid of ants in a house?
A.) The Ant Removal Ewa area technician will first identify the type of ant that’s infesting your home. After identifying the pest, the technician will inspect your home to determine the amount of ant activity on the premises and to find the nest. Next, the technician will discuss his findings with you and recommend the best treatment plan. After giving your permission to exterminate the ants, the technician will begin treating your ant infestation problem.
