Spartanburg Ant Control: Eliminating Current Ant Issues & Preventing Future Problems

For thorough ant treatments in the Spartanburg area, call Longleaf Turf Pros. You might be horrified to learn that there are over a million ants for each human that walks the earth, meaning you're bound to find at least a few inside your home. Ants are sneaky pests that appear suddenly in a line that usually leads to your pantry. In most cases, it's tough to even find out where they're coming from! The worst part might be that the ants you see aren't even a fraction of the nearby colony, so once you see them, there's definitely more where they came from.

If you've started to find ants in your kitchen, bathrooms, or pantry, it's time to call the experts on pest control for Spartanburg, Longleaf Turf Pros. We have the industry knowledge as well as the tools of the trade to perform ant treatments that will rid your home of ants quickly and effectively.

Signs Of An Ant Invasion

Ants are highly motivated for one thing: food. If you keep fruit out on the table or don't seal your chip bags properly, you'll most likely find ants in your pantry or kitchen. Despite their strength and wit, ants aren't good at covering their tracks, so you'll be able to see the signs of invasion pretty quickly. Here are a few things you'll probably see when dealing with an ant infestation:

• Piles of Dirt: Everyone has seen ant piles outside that meander deep underground. Ants will sometimes move dirt or sand inside to build nests, so you could have ants that are trying to move in if you see piles of dirt around your home.
• Missing Food: Ants are widely known as food thieves, taking bits of whatever they can find and transporting them back to their colony. If you see tiny pieces of apple missing or a trail of cracker dust on your pantry shelves, it's likely you've got ants stealing from you.
• Wood Shavings: Most ants don't eat wood, but they're strong enough to chew through it to make a tunnel to the food they're looking for. If you see sawdust or wood shavings around your cabinets or door frames, you could have ants in your home.

Ant Control To Stop Future Ant Intrusion

Too many homeowners in Spartanburg think they can do their own ant treatments, but the biggest mistake they make is only taking care of the ants they can see. Sure, you can get rid of the ants that are in your house, but there are billions of ants crawling underground at any moment, and the chance that the only ants in your home are the ones you can see is pretty low. Calling a professional pest control company like Longleaf Turf Pros is the best way to get rid of all of the ants on your property. We'll do a thorough assessment of your entire property, inside and out, to find the source of your ant problem. Then we'll perform our ant treatments on your doors, window sills, and screens to make sure future intrusions don't happen. We can even perform mosquito control services so your home is free of all kinds of pests, from the harmless to the not-so-harmless.
