Ants, both Pavement and Carpenter ants, are a common pest here in Massachusetts. The problem is, homeowners can typically only kill the ants they see, rather than the ones they can’t within an ant nest. Therefore, when you find your property has now got an ant problem, the first course of action is to call for pest control services in Massachusetts. Let experts take care of the problem from the source for a more effective eradication process.

Carpenter ants are one of our most common pest callouts during spring and into late summer. They nest where they can find wood and moisture, and they don’t mind whether this is inside or outside your home. If they can’t locate food or water immediately by their nesting area, they are capable of traveling up to 150 yards for it, leaving a pheromone trail so other ants can track it down as well.

Before long, the problem gets out of hand, and you may find yourself with more ants than you ever thought possible. Before the problem gets worse, get in touch with our friendly technicians at Trap Tech Pest Control in Massachusetts. We provide a free ant inspection to locate colonies before providing you with a set rate to alleviate the problem.

For the sake of your home and ant population, we strongly recommend utilizing the services of a pest control company such as Trap Tech Pest Control in Massachusetts rather than tackling your ant problem on your own. If you misapply pesticide or choose the wrong insecticide, there’s every possibility that you’ve made your ant problem worse, rather than better.

This is because foraging ants killed by pesticide you’ve incorrectly applied can stress out a colony. Foraging ants are relied upon to bring back food and water to the colony, and if they die, ants and lava are sent into a panic. The colony goes their separate ways, known as splitting and butting, and you find yourself with more ant nests, rather than your initial few. Then, when you go to reapply pesticide, you will find it’s ineffective.

When we arrive at your home to help eradicate your ant problem, we ask a series of questions to find out where those pesky ant nests are hiding. Even if you aren’t sure, our detective work along with your helpful answers can provide us with the clues necessary to track them down and get rid of them. Once we know the problem we’re dealing with, we then tailor our chemicals and treatment plans to suit your unique situation.

Firstly, if we can, we avoid using chemicals in your home. However, if we need to, we ensure we only use them in the area where the ant colony or nest is found. We then use bait for foraging ants to take home to their colony, without causing the nest to split. We can also use a liquid chemical which dehydrates the insects over time, destroying it entirely in just a few days, as well as powder, or a liquid or granular foundation treatment to stop ants from entering your home.

Our technicians are well-skilled in ant eradication and use a range of equipment to remove your ant problem successfully. Our process is to flush ants out of walls through a hole an eighth of an inch big, and can even use thermal imaging cameras to locate water leakages, air infiltration, and the accumulation of mold. Sometimes we use all of these methods, other times just a few. We aim to tailor our treatment package to suit.

You can rest assured that for your ant problem, we use all chemicals responsibly, and only state-licensed technicians will apply them. We may be able to eradicate your ant infestation in one treatment, or depending on the size of your problem, with follow up treatments.
