Our Detailed Ant Control Process

Our comprehensive ant control services are tailored to meet the specific needs of your property. We follow a proven process to ensure effective and long-lasting results.

Inspection and Identification

The first step is a thorough inspection of your property to identify the type of ant, the extent of the infestation, and potential entry points. Accurate identification is key to selecting the most effective treatment methods. We look for ant trails, nests, and conducive conditions such as moisture and food sources.

Customized Treatment Plan

Based on our findings, we develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific ant problem. Our plans may include a combination of liquid treatments, baits, and dusts, depending on the ant species and the severity of the infestation. We prioritize the use of environmentally responsible products that are safe for your family and pets.

Exterior Treatment

We focus on creating a protective barrier around your home by treating potential entry points, such as cracks, crevices, and foundation perimeters. This helps to prevent ants from entering your home and establishing new colonies. We also treat areas where ants are likely to forage, such as sidewalks, patios, and gardens.

Interior Treatment

Inside your home, we target ant trails, nesting sites, and areas where ants are commonly found. We use precise application techniques to minimize exposure to people and pets while maximizing the effectiveness of the treatment. Our goal is to eliminate existing ants and prevent them from returning.

Follow-Up Services

We provide follow-up services to ensure that the ant infestation is completely eliminated and to prevent future problems. Our technicians will revisit your property to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and make any necessary adjustments. We also offer ongoing pest control services to keep your home protected year-round.

Common Ant Problems in Boulder and How We Solve Them

Phantom Ants: The Invisible Invaders

Phantom ants, also known as ghost ants, are notorious for their minuscule size and translucent appearance, making them incredibly difficult to spot. These tiny pests often invade homes in search of readily available food and water sources, particularly thriving in warm and humid indoor environments.

At Boulder Pest Pros, we employ advanced detection techniques to identify the presence of phantom ants, even when they seem nearly invisible. Our targeted treatment strategies involve the use of specialized baits and residual insecticides that disrupt their foraging trails and eliminate their colonies at the source. By addressing both the visible ants and their hidden nests, we ensure a comprehensive and long-lasting solution to phantom ant infestations.

Pavement Ants: Cracking the Case of Concrete Conquerors

Pavement ants are a common nuisance around homes, particularly in urban areas with concrete and paved surfaces. These ants build their nests under sidewalks, driveways, and building foundations, often emerging through cracks and crevices in search of food. While they typically forage outdoors, pavement ants can easily make their way indoors in search of sugary and greasy substances.

Boulder Pest Pros implements a multi-faceted approach to combat pavement ant infestations. We begin by thoroughly inspecting your property to identify the location of their nests and entry points. Our treatment methods involve the application of granular baits around the perimeter of your home to attract foraging ants and deliver the insecticide directly to the colony. Additionally, we utilize targeted liquid treatments to seal off cracks and crevices, preventing pavement ants from gaining access to your indoor spaces.

Odorous House Ants: Unpleasant Aroma, Unwanted Guests

Odorous house ants are known for the strong, unpleasant odor they emit when crushed, often described as smelling like rotten coconut or blue cheese. These ants are highly adaptable and can establish nests both indoors and outdoors, making them challenging to eliminate. They are attracted to sources of moisture and sugary foods, commonly invading kitchens and bathrooms in search of sustenance.

At Boulder Pest Pros, we understand the unique challenges posed by odorous house ants. Our expert technicians conduct thorough inspections to identify their nesting locations and foraging trails. We employ a combination of baiting and residual insecticide treatments to target these pests effectively. Our approach involves strategically placing baits along their foraging pathways to attract and eliminate the ants, while residual insecticides are used to create a barrier that prevents them from re-entering your home. With our comprehensive pest control solutions, we can rid your home of odorous house ants and restore a pest-free environment.

Carpenter Ants: Wood-Destroying Invaders

Carpenter ants are a wood-destroying species that can cause significant structural damage to homes. Unlike termites, which consume wood, carpenter ants excavate it to create nests. They prefer to nest in moist or decaying wood but can also infest sound wood if necessary. Carpenter ant infestations are often identified by the presence of coarse sawdust-like material (frass) near their nesting sites.

Boulder Pest Pros employs a comprehensive treatment strategy to eliminate carpenter ant infestations and protect your home from wood damage! We begin by identifying and locating their nests within your property. Our treatment methods involve the application of targeted insecticides directly into the ant galleries and along their foraging trails. In addition to treating existing infestations, we offer preventative measures to safeguard your home against future carpenter ant problems, such as sealing cracks and crevices, removing moisture sources, and treating vulnerable wood structures.

Acrobat Ants: Balancing Act on Power Lines

Acrobat ants are easily recognized by their peculiar habit of raising their abdomens over their heads when disturbed. They often nest in tree cavities, decaying wood, and insulation, making them a common nuisance around homes. Acrobat ants are omnivorous, feeding on a wide range of foods, including honeydew produced by aphids, sugary substances, and dead insects. They are capable of delivering painful bites and stings when threatened.

At Boulder Pest Pros, we use a proactive approach to managing acrobat ant infestations. Our technicians conduct detailed inspections to identify their nesting sites and entry points into your home. We use targeted insecticide treatments, including baits and residual sprays, to eliminate existing ant colonies. Additionally, we implement exclusion techniques, such as sealing cracks and crevices and removing potential nesting sites, to prevent acrobat ants from re-entering your property. Our holistic approach ensures long-term control of acrobat ant populations and protects your home from these nuisance pests.

Why You Might Need Our Ant Control Services

Visible Ant Trails

Seeing trails of ants marching across your countertops or floors is a clear indication of an infestation. These trails are created by scout ants leaving pheromone trails for other ants to follow to a food source.

Our ant control experts can identify the source of the trail, eliminate the existing ants, and disrupt the pheromone trail to prevent future infestations.

Ant Nests Inside Your Home

Finding ant nests in your walls, cabinets, or foundations is a more serious sign of an infestation. This means that the ants have established a colony inside your home and are actively reproducing.

We use targeted treatments to eliminate ant nests, even in hard-to-reach areas, and implement preventative measures to keep them from returning. We also offer termite treatment to keep these wood destroying pests away.

Food Contamination

Ants can contaminate food with bacteria and other pathogens, posing a health risk to you and your family. They can also damage food packaging and make food unsanitary to consume.

Our ant control services protect your food supply by eliminating ants and preventing them from accessing your food storage areas. We also provide recommendations for proper food storage and sanitation practices.

Property Damage

Certain types of ants, such as carpenter ants, can cause significant damage to wooden structures. These ants tunnel through wood to create nests, weakening the structure and potentially leading to costly repairs.

We offer specialized treatments for carpenter ants, including direct injection of insecticides into their nests and preventative measures to protect your home from future damage. We also offer spider removal services.

Recurring Infestations Despite DIY Efforts

If you've tried DIY ant control methods without success, it's time to call in the professionals. Over-the-counter products may only kill visible ants, without addressing the underlying colony.

Our expert technicians have the knowledge, experience, and tools to effectively eliminate ant infestations and prevent them from recurring. We use customized treatment plans tailored. Neighboring areas like Longmont also often struggle with pest issues so we're always there too.
