At
Salem Pest Solutions
LLC, our experienced pest control technicians first assess your specific ant problem to determine the best course of action. The treatment approach depends on the ant species, the size of the infestation, and the location. To ensure effective ant control and long-term prevention, our technicians will identify key factors such as entry points, nests, and ant trails. From there, we use a combination of residual treatments and baits to eliminate existing colonies.
Ants are social creatures that live in structured colonies. To target these pests effectively, we often use non-repellent insecticides that are undetectable to ants. Since the ants can’t sense the insecticide, they come into contact with it and unknowingly spread it to other ants in the colony, maximizing the impact.
Once ants interact with the non-repellent product, they carry it back to their colony. This process, known as the
"transfer effect," allows the ants to spread the insecticide through feeding and grooming, ultimately reaching the entire colony and helping to eliminate it efficiently.
For common house ants, there are several effective treatment methods. Our technicians can apply
granular or liquid ant baits around the exterior of your home or business where ants are typically found. To tackle ants entering your property, we also use
non-repellent residual dust in cracks, crevices, and other potential entry points, ensuring that ants unknowingly transport the treatment back to their colonies.
Carpenter ants are one of the most destructive ant species, capable of causing significant structural damage. To effectively treat a carpenter ant infestation, it’s crucial to target the
parent colony, preventing reinfestation from nearby colonies. Our technicians are skilled at identifying and treating carpenter ant nests inside and around your home or business, ensuring complete elimination and long-term protection.
Fire ants are notorious for building shallow, hidden mounds across lawns, making them difficult to detect. To eradicate fire ants, we use specialized
fire ant baits or
residual contact products directly on individual mounds. For comprehensive coverage, our technicians may apply bait across your entire yard to ensure thorough treatment and prevent new mounds from forming.
Argentine ants pose a unique challenge due to their large, interconnected colonies, which often spread across neighboring properties. To control Argentine ants effectively,
regular inspections and treatments are recommended. We can seal any cracks or entry points in your home to prevent them from re-entering, while targeted baits and treatments eliminate existing colonies and prevent new infestations.
Pharaoh ants require a specific approach, as typical residual treatments can cause colonies to split, making the infestation worse. The best method for controlling Pharaoh ants is using
ant baits. Once the bait is set, worker ants carry it back to the colony, distributing it to other ants, including the queen, workers, and larvae, ensuring complete colony elimination.
Several factors can lead to an ant infestation in your home or business, including:
