Why Ant Control Matters?
Ignoring a few stray ants often signals a hidden, massive issue. We understand that ants are complex social insects, which is why we utilize IPM (Integrated Pest Management) to address the root cause rather than just the symptoms.
- Disrupting the Colony: Ants communicate via invisible ant pheromone trails. We disrupt these chemical signals and target the colony reproduction cycle, ensuring we eliminate the queen and preventing the population from rebounding.
- Prevention & Exclusion: Effective control starts with a rigorous moisture and food-source inspection to identify what attracts them. We then perform entry-point sealing to physically block pests from re-entering your home.
- Safe & Structural Protection: We utilize borate-based solutions to protect wood structures from Carpenter Ants and prioritize pet-safe ant treatments, ensuring your home remains secure for your family while aggressively eliminating pests.
What’s Included:
1. Inspection & Identification
Protecta’s licensed technicians perform a deep site analysis to identify the specific species (e.g., Carpenter, Pharaoh, or Fire Ants) and locate hidden entry points and nesting sites.
2. Treatment Plan & Targeted Solutions
We design a customized pest control plan using IPM (Integrated Pest Management) to target the colony's queen directly, ensuring we eliminate the root source rather than just visible workers.
3. Safe Application of Ant Control Methods
We apply EPA-approved, non-repellent treatments and precise gel baits. These are undetectable to ants, allowing them to transfer the lethal bait back to the colony for total collapse.
4. Prevention & Long-Term Protection
To stop recurrence, we implement exclusion techniques by sealing cracks and creating a chemical perimeter barrier around your property to block foraging paths.
Treatment Methods We Use
- Non-repellent Insecticides: Advanced treatments that worker ants carry back to the nest to infect the colony without triggering alarm.
- Nest Elimination: Direct targeting of the queen and larvae to stop reproduction immediately.
- Entry-Point Sealing: Utilizing silicone and mesh to physically block vector access points in foundations and walls.
- Eco-Friendly Options: Low-toxicity botanical solutions suitable for sensitive environments.
- Child & Pet-Safe Applications: Strategic placement of tamper-resistant bait stations in inaccessible areas.
