Ant Control in Staten Island and Throughout NYC and NJ with Fillmore Pest Control
Ants may appear to be relatively harmless pests when compared to rodents, cockroaches, or termites, but they can actually be extremely troublesome if they are left to infest your home unchecked. This is especially true of carpenter ants. If you live in the New York City area you could be at risk for an ant infestation, and you may not even realize it.
Why Ants Are So Troublesome?
Ants can be particularly difficult pests to eliminate and it is important that you understand why they are so hard to remove, and why an exterminator will generally be more successful than the homeowner. Some of the challenges with ants include:
The methods commercially available for treating ants also don’t work across every species. For some infestations, the only option is to find the location of the colony. We can remove other species with an application of baits or treatment. We determine which ants are around your home and deploy the most effective treatment methods.
Ants We Commonly Treat
We treat all of the ants found in this area, and can provide support both inside and outside of your property. We’re here to help with all common ant species including, but not limited to:
- Carpenter Ants
- Pavement Ants
- Thief Ants
- Odorous Ants
Ants never travel alone. We make sure that the entire colony is eliminated and their entrances sealed to remove them and keep them away, preventing other ants from following the same path.
Our Ant Removal Process
Our Staten Island pest control specialist have training and experience in dealing with large ant infestations, and will follow a step-by-step procedure to ensure that they are completely removed from your home.
First, we identify the ants in your home, and verify that we are proposing the proper treatment for them.
Next, we place ant baits around the interior of your home to help cut down on the number of ants inside. The baits are then brought back to the colony and a large number of ants will be killed in that way.
Next, liquid insecticide is sprayed on the inside of the home around the baseboards. This insecticide is completely safe for pets and children once it has dried completely, but it will continue to kill ants for weeks.
Finally a liquid barrier is sprayed around the outside of your home that will discourage any ants from entering your home.
