Ant Control
Get the Janus Advantage Over Ants
The most common pest species reported in and around homes and yards locally is the Argentine ant. Often in significant numbers, they form sizable trails that follow pheromone scented waypoints laid down by scouts that lead to new food caches. Although they prefer to nest outdoors, they do enter indoors searching for food and water.
Treatment
We have targeted treatment solutions to get rid of Argentine ants and other common ant species, including the wood-destroying Carpenter ant (image, left)—see other common local ants listed below.

ProTip
Pet food storage: Ants adapt to conditions and prefer to avoid the rain. So if you wish to ward off having ant trails marching through your home this winter, consider placing your pets’ dry food and treats into sealed plastic containers—stainless steel containers if rats and mice are a concern. Those paper bags they come in? Defenseless.
