ANT EXTERMINATOR IN BROWNSVILLE, TX
SIGNS OF ANTS
Ants are one of the tiniest pests that can enter your property through the smallest openings, which can be very hard to spot. It only takes one ant to infiltrate your home to cause an ant colony of over 400,000 ants to follow and further contaminate your property. Queen ants can lay up to 200 eggs an hour, causing your ant infestation to grow at an alarming rate.
There are some telltale signs that your home is being invaded by ants, but some of them are easy to miss unless you know what to look for. Check for some of the most common signs of ants to find out if you need to call in a reputable pest control expert.

INSPECTION & ANT TREATMENT
Your A1-Pro technician will:
-
Inspect the property thoroughly, looking around the exterior of the yard for any ant activity. This includes looking under tree roots, in grassy areas, near exterior furniture, etc. We work hard at locating all of the nests during the initial inspection to ensure that all of them get treated effectively, ensuring that the problem doesn’t simply reappear.
-
Treat all ant colonies on the property with a liquid residual product that kills the ants inside. They will also lay ant bait as a preventive measure for any ants that should enter the area in the future. During the warmer months, we will also use fire ant bait to give you longer-term protection against these particularly problematic pests.
-
After treating your home, we’ll work with you to make sure ants never become a problem again. We’ll recommend specific strategies you can use to make your home less appealing to ants and less susceptible to their break-ins. Along with continuing ant protection, ants in your home will become a thing of the past.
