Ant Control in North County San Diego
ARGENTINE ANT
Argentine ants range from light to dark brown and measure less than 1/16th of an inch long. They are readily adaptable and can nest in a great variety of places. Nests are usually located in moist soil, next to or under buildings, along sidewalks, or beneath boards. Argentine ants are omnivorous, meaning that they can eat almost anything, but they prefer sweet foods
ODOROUS HOUSE ANT
Odorous House Ants are brown or black in color and measure between 1/16 and 1/8 of an inch. Usually, their nests are found under wood, debris, and landscaping and they are known to move their colony approximately every 3 months. They are attracted to moisture sources inside the home. If any landscaping is in contact with the home, this makes easy access for the ants to invade.
PAVEMENT ANT
Pavement Ants are about 1/8 of an inch in length and range from light brown to black in color. They are often found nesting in the walls of buildings, under pavement stones, and in cracks in the foundation. They forage in trails up to 30 ft. from their nest and will enter inside structures for food.
The Major League Ant Control Difference
When you choose Major League to service your home our trained and state licensed technician will inspect and create a pest management program that integrates treatment or makes recommendations based on the needs of your property. Our policy of “low impact solutions” provides you with the most effective methods for total control. Some homeowners attempt to control pest issues themselves. However, the misapplication of chemicals can re-route ant activity by causing the formation of new nests and potentially contaminating your environment. Our professionals are trained to identify pest threats and treat the areas of your home most susceptible to pest activity. Major League Pest has the technology and training needed to not only treat foraging ants, but eliminate ant colonies at their source. Our dedication to safety ensures a custom-tailored solution best suited to your family, pets, and surroundings.
We Take the Hassle Out of Pest Control
Over-the-counter pest control products do not last long and therefore must be applied frequently, forcing you to spend more money on more products. The products a licensed professional company can utilize are much more effective than the products available to consumers. When homeowners do the math, they quickly realize that after purchasing the products and the time they spend applying them, they could have had a professional take care of the problem for the same or less amount of money.
Initial Ant Control Service
Preparation for ant service is an important step to maximizing treatment effectiveness. Clean out any cabinets infested with ants and ensure the perimeter of the home is free of any debris/clutter prior to service. Any pet items including bedding, food, and water bowls will need to be removed from the perimeter.
After your initial service, you will notice an immediate impact on the pest infestation levels around your home. Ants will be flushed out and levels will be reduced. Life cycles of many insects revolve around a 30 day time period. Adolescents will hatch and you may still see insects between the initial service and the first regular service until control is achieved. Your first regular service will begin approximately one month after the initial service.
Regular Ant Control Service
Your first regular service will break the life cycle of the insects around your home and help to prevent future invasions. Beginning a regular service program 30 days after the initial service is the key to permanently controlling pests around the home. Once you have had your first regular service, pest presence will be reduced to a minimum level. Through ongoing regular scheduled services, your home will continue to be pest free.
Our Service Is Always Guaranteed
It’s always good to have peace of mind knowing your service is fully backed with a promise of quality. That’s why if you experience pest problems after a regular service treatment, Major League Pest will return and retreat your home for free. When you partner with Major League Pest, you can stop worrying about insects infiltrating your home.
