You can try to get rid of ants on your own, but it usually isn’t effective long term or for all types of ants. Self-treatment usually relies on spraying toxic chemicals or leaving chemical-filled ant traps around your home where children and pets are susceptible to touching them. This can be very dangerous. Usually when you see a few ants, there are many more in a nearby colony that won’t be exterminated which will find their way on to your property and into your home.  For long-lasting ant control you should call a professional exterminator, such as Sustainable Pest Systems.

There are a few options for trying to rid your home of ants that do not rely on chemicals. Sealing any cracks or openings between the outside and inside of your home can help minimize the number of ants inside. You can also make sure there are no food sources within your home, such as dropped crumbs on your floors. A tiny crumb that you may not see is enough to attract many ants due to their small size. Due to these reasons, we advise calling a professional exterminator to assist with ant control to eliminate your problem. 

There are a few factors that will influence the cost of ant extermination – the size of your property, the size of the infestation, the type of ant, and the type of treatment that will be needed.
