Ants
Ants are among one of the most common types of household pests. Despite their small size, they move in numbers ranging from a few dozen to hundreds of ants. This makes eliminating ant infestations an incredibly difficult challenge without professional intervention. There are several different types of ant species, including carpenter ants, fire ants, and odorous ants. Each type of ant presents its own set of problems for home and business owners.
Why Ants Infiltrate Your Home
There are a variety of reasons why ants may be attracted to your home. The humid climate of South Carolina provides an optimal environment for various ant species to thrive, putting home and business owners in this area at an elevated risk of ant infestations. Stray crumbs and food left unattended tend to attract ants into your home. Windows and doors being left open, cracks in the walls, and gaps in the foundation of your home can provide a means of entry for ants.
How We Handle Ant Infestations
Leaving an ant colony on your property unattended can put your home at risk.
