Below, our team will cover some common ant control myths, debunk them, and explain why hiring a professional team is essential.
Myth #1: Spraying vinegar on ants will kill them.
The idea that vinegar can kill ants right away is widespread. Because it has a strong smell, vinegar may temporarily keep ants away, but it’s not a long-term fix. Ants are clever and will try to avoid the smell or find other ways to get where they want to go. Our team utilizes ant control methods that get to the root of the matter, breaking up ant colonies and stopping new infestations in their tracks.
Myth #2: Ants will stay away if you keep your house clean.
Although keeping your home clean and organized is good for your health, it’s not a sure-fire way to keep ants at bay. Our team understands the patterns of different ant species, and we can find places where they can enter and nest that you might not noticed.
Myth #3: Do-it-yourself ant traps work just as well as professional treatments.
Do-it-yourself ant traps may work sometimes, but they might not be enough for severe infestations or certain types of ants. Incorrect placement or mixing the wrong solutions can also make do-it-yourself traps dangerous for kids and pets. We have access to special tools and ant control solutions that eliminate ants while keeping your family and pets safe.
Myth #4: One-size-fits-all solutions can do away with ants.
Every ant problem is different due to the type of ant, how they nest, and local weather patterns. In other words, ant control measures that work in one setting may not work in another. Our team will conduct a comprehensive assessment of your space before providing you with a tailored ant control plan.
