The Problem with DIY Ant Control
Store-bought ant sprays and control products, if misused or overused, can potentially make an ant infestation worse. These products often only kill visible ants without eliminating the colony itself. By doing so, they can inadvertently disrupt the ants' pheromone trails, causing them to scatter and create multiple new colonies.
Additionally, many store-bought sprays, baits, and other products are hazardous. Using these things around young children and pets can be risky. So, if you want a solution to an ant infestation, turn to seasoned professionals like ours at Snohomish Pest.
Tips for Preventing Ant Infestations
Are you interested in keeping ants from invading your home or business? Below, we have shared insights we have gained from addressing all kinds of ant-related issues.
Tips for preventing ant infestations:
- Eliminate water sources: By reducing the standing water and other moisture sources, you can make your property less inhabitable for ants.
- Seal entry points: Seal cracks around your windows, doors, and the foundation. Closing off these entryways prevents ants from easily entering your building.
- Store food properly: Ants are always on the lookout for food. By putting food in airtight containers, you can keep ants from finding their next meal in your kitchen or pantry.
- Routine pest maintenance: Professional treatments not only eradicate infestations; they prevent them, too! At Snohomish Pest, we offer valuable maintenance plans to help you stay ant-free.
