Our Persistent Neighbors

STRATEGIC & GREEN

  • CONSTANT MANAGEMENT: Ants become an issue during the hotter summer months. Little can be done at this point to reduce human interaction. Our service provides abatement year round, reducing the colonies numbers.

  • LOCATION SPECIFIC: Baiting systems located inside structures attract ants into the structure. This is system can be counter-intuitive. Our landscape baiting system allows ant colonies to stay where you want them, outside.

  • NATURAL BAITING: Our methods use a natural-based baiting system paired with ant-specific attractants. Tamper-resistant stations containing the bait ensure that only ants have access.

  • Bee Safe: Traditional methods have utilized neuro-toxic pesticide sprays that indiscriminately effect other insects such as bees. For this reason we do not use pesticide sprays.

REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

  • WHAT TO EXPECT: The invasive, non-native Argentine ant is one of the primary ant species that give us so much grief during the summer months. These amazing ants form a supercolony throughout California. This supercolony makes it impossible to completely eliminate them from the area.

    For this reason, population reduction and control is an important method against the invasive Argentine ant. Our methods provide a year round, natural bait that reduces their numbers slowly in order to keep them in check. This combined with practical actions like cleaning up food scraps and frequently taking garbage outside will help reduce unwanted encounters.
