Ant Control

Here at Adams Exterminating Company, we offer several options for indoor and outdoor ant control. When you call us, we will usually arrive within a day or two of your request for service – if not the same day. Upon arrival, our residential pest control service tech will assess your situation and devise an action plan to help rid your home of whatever species of ant is invading it. 

We offer two primary control methods, liquid sprays and bait products, to kill the existing infestation and prevent a new one from taking its place. These effective ant control solutions can rid your home of all its ants within a few days. And if you still have problems with ants, we can come out for additional retreatments until we solve the problem completely. Our follow-up visits are usually free of charge and made promptly upon request.

Signs There Are Ants In Your Denton Home

Are you noticing tiny, unwelcome guests scurrying around your Denton, TX home? Ant infestations can be subtle yet persistent, posing a threat to both property and health. As a premier pest control service in the area, we understand the signs that indicate ant presence. Look out for these red flags:

• Trails of ants marching in lines, particularly near food sources or entry points
• Small piles of sawdust-like material, indicating carpenter ant activity
• Rustling sounds within walls, a sign of larger colonies
• Tiny holes or cracks in walls and floors, potential entry points for ants
• Unexplained food spoilage or damage, as ants often target pantries and kitchens

Our Ant Control Process

At Ant Exterminators, we utilize a comprehensive approach to ant control that includes:

• Inspection: Our trained ant control technicians conduct a thorough inspection of your property to identify the type of ants present and the extent of the infestation.
• Customized Treatment Plan: Based on the inspection results, we develop a tailored treatment plan that targets the specific ant species and their nesting sites.
• Ongoing Monitoring: After treatment, we schedule follow-up visits to monitor the situation and ensure the ants are gone for good.
• Prevention Strategies: We provide guidance on how to minimize future ant problems, including sealing entry points and eliminating food sources.

How To Prevent Ant Infestations

You don't have to wait until you get an infestation to keep ants away. You also don't have to rely on inferior over-the-counter ant control solutions to deal with ant problems after the fact – not when you can prevent an ant infestation before it starts.

Physically excluding ants from your Lewisville, Denton, North Texas home is next to impossible. These tiny insects will always find a way in because they are small enough to squeeze into cracks and holes you can't see, and they tell others where to find entry.

You're much better off going with the strategy of reducing ant attractants around your home. Get rid of the things attracting them, and ants will leave, looking for easier pickings elsewhere. To make your home a more hostile place for ants:

• Always store pantry foods in airtight containers.
• Clean up immediately after meals, and never leave dirty dishes in the sink.
• Never leave pet foods or pet bowls sitting out.
• Vacuum and wipe surfaces frequently to reduce crumbs and smears.
• Cover indoor and outdoor garbage cans with tight lids at all times.
• Take care of moisture issues in your home, like condensation or leaky pipes.

Following these ant prevention tips can reduce or even eliminate the food and moisture that ants need. And if you take away what they need to thrive, you take away their motivation to come sniffing around your house.
