Ants and Our Perimeter Pest Control Services

It’s time for us to enjoy life going by a little more slowly.  School is coming to a close, we are feeling the sun more often, and airing out our houses with the nice breeze.  The only thing is, there are some party crashers that make this experience a little less pleasant: ANTS!  Those little beady eyed buggers that love to steal all those tasty treats that we have worked so hard creating for our family and friend’s delight.  

So, we are met with a dilemma, do we keep our scrumptious creations in the house or do we find other measures to protect our cakes and enjoy the outdoor breeze too? In your lawn, the ants are just a nuisance. They can be seen with their little mounds throughout the lawn.  All you need to do is rake the mounds around and disperse the dirt mounds in the lawn. They do affect your mowing ritual though. With the mounds being higher than the grass blades, it dulls your blades a lot sooner due to the blades hitting all those mounds throughout your lawn.

We have a outdoor pest control program that can assist you with defending your house from the ants entering it.  Our technicians will make a barrier to allow you to open your windows to the cool summer breezes and not have to worry about any unwanted guest crawling into your house.  Unfortunately, we do not have a program that can ward off any unwanted human guest.
