Pest control problems don’t happen all at once but often start out with one pest at a time. Homes and businesses are susceptible to pests that are both large and small but none are as subtle as ants. They might not seem like a major issue but over time but ants spread bacteria, cause property damage and drag down the appeal of a work or living space. Instead of learning to live with unwanted critters, call Toodaloo for effective London pavement ant control.
Pavement ants pose a major issue to homeowners all across Canada. They might be tiny but these pests mean big trouble. In addition to disrupting dirt and fumbling with foundations, these insects spread harmful bacteria. Ants travel in the thousands, so simple baits are not enough to tackle infestations. Toodaloo technicians have all the right tools and training to send pavement ants packing. Instead of treating only the ants you can see, our technicians look for the nests they come from.
Although they are more active in the warmer months, pavement ants can still be found in the dead of winter, and worse, they will be looking to get into your warm, dry home for shelter and food. When this happens, you can look to Toodaloo for protection from these tiny home invaders. Expert pavement ant removal is only a phone call away, so don’t wait!
Pavement ants are pale brown to black in colour, and are between 2½ to 3 millimetres in length. They are fond of sugar and greasy foods, but will also consume other everything from pet food, crumbs and even dead insects. With so many food options, they can survive for a long time in your home. And when they do, they will make their presence known in the worst way possible. They will wreak havoc on lawns and gardens, pathways and driveways, as well as indoor areas. Over time, this can cause such surfaces to crack and warp from all the ant activity.
One of the main struggles people will have in attempting to get rid of pavement ants are their nests. Pavement ants, unlike other species of ant, will have parent nests, which are sometimes outside the home but still nearby. The rest are known as satellite nests. These satellite nests will be made in the vicinity of the parent nest, but far away enough that it could survive without it. This is to ensure the survival of the ant population. Obviously, this can be a problem for those facing an infestation.
When you want to get rid of ants, it is important to create a pest management program that suits the needs of your space. Diagnosing an ant problem can be easy but tracking down their colonies and nests is difficult. Property owners can waste money on ant baits, and natural ant repellents or call an expert for effective ant removal. Finding the colonies, often a parent nest with satellite nests around it, is what makes treatment work.
Store-bought baits often reach only the ants you can see. Our technicians look for the parent nest and the satellite nests around it, and every visit comes with our satisfaction guarantee.
There are plenty of types of ant out there but our team of Toodaloo experts know how to treat them all! Instead of just getting rid of existing pest infestations, our experts offer tips and tricks to keep ants at bay. By pointing out what will attract ants, the main places that they create nests and how to spot an infestation, our pest experts can help to prevent pavement ants from taking over your living space.
