Our process starts with a thorough inspection. We check interior spaces, exterior walls, the foundation perimeter, landscaping, and any areas where moisture accumulates. Identifying the species and locating nest sites tells us exactly what we are working with.
Treatment depends on the situation. For most ant problems, we use a combination of baits and targeted applications that workers transport back to the colony. This approach takes a bit longer than contact sprays, but it actually solves the problem instead of scattering ants to regroup elsewhere. Carpenter ant infestations may require direct treatment of wall voids or structural areas where galleries have formed.
We also address conditions that attract ants in the first place. That might mean recommending repairs for moisture issues, sealing cracks around windows and doors, or advising on landscaping changes. Shrubs and tree branches touching the house create highways for ants and other crawling insects to access your home. Flowerpots sitting directly on patios can harbor nests underneath. Aphids on garden plants produce honeydew that many ant species feed on, drawing larger populations closer to your property.
Best Pest Pro offers one-time treatments for active infestations and ongoing prevention plans for properties with recurring issues. We explain your options clearly and let you decide what makes sense for your situation and budget.
