Feeling Antsy?

You put a lot of time, thought, and work into making your home welcoming. But you have absolutely no interest in extending your hospitality to ants. Let's face it—if ants showed up only at picnics, perhaps they'd be easier to tolerate.



Unfortunately, ants are the number one "nuisance pest" in the U.S. They make their way through the tiniest gaps and appear in most any area of the home—all on a quest to find food, water and/or shelter. Expansion joints, foundation cracks, and tiny gaps around plumbing all provide opportunities for ants to enter your home. This means that no matter how your home is constructed, where it's located, or how old it is, it could be invaded by ants.

Don't be discouraged! Ants are a nuisance—but one that consumers don't have to live with. While the first sight of ants might drive a homeowner to the do-it-yourself shelf at the nearest home improvement center, today's experts are advocates for professional ant treatments.

When you add up the money and time spent on do-it-yourself options, it's more effective and less expensive to call a pest control professional to get the job done right—the first time.

Ants can lift 20 times their own body weight.
