Ants are tiny pests that cause big problems the longer they stick around. While some ant problems can be dealt with using at-home methods, you’re better off relying on the services of a pest control professional to permanently rid your home of nuisance ants. Here’s when you should call a professional exterminator for ant control.
If ants keep returning to infest your space after multiple DIY attempts at removal, then they’re probably resistant to most of your methods. An ant control professional will have access to more permanent solutions and can help prevent the pests from returning.
Some species of ants are harmless and easy to treat. Unfortunately, Florida is home to several types of venomous ants, including red fire ants. These insects produce a powerful sting that can cause severe allergic reactions. For your safety, it’s better to consult with an ant control expert who is equipped to deal with these dangerous ant species instead of putting your health at risk.
Wood-dwelling carpenter ants will chew into and hollow out wooden support structures to build their colony. Such activity is a serious threat to your home’s structural integrity. If you notice small piles of shavings next to your wall or a colony of winged ants in the spring, call an ant control professional immediately.
