How Do I Get Rid of Ants? - Custom Pest Control [PEST CONTROL SERVICES]

Ants

Ant infestation is the most commonly reported pest problem. These tiny scavengers will enter your home or business looking for moisture and an accessible food source. Rotting or damp wood that is moldy can attract ants. Ants also feed on sugar, cheese, meats, vegetables, grease, peanut butter, and dead insects. Ants often enter a home through cracks around windows or doors, but they can find numerous entrances to your home or building. Once inside, the growing ant colony can become a problem quickly, as ants mature from juveniles to adults within a matter of days.
It is necessary to properly identify the ant species that you have in order to effectively eradicate them. Of the thousands of species of ants, the four listed below are the most commonly found in the United States.
Carpenter Ants: are about five eighths inches long. They tend to burrow in damp wood but have also been known to damage solid wood. They do not eat the wood, but simply remove it in order to build a nest.
Red Imported Fire Ants: vary in size from one-eighth to three-eighths inches. They construct large mounds for nests and administer painful stings.
Pavement Ants: are about one-eighth inch long. They generally make their nests in pavement cracks and are also capable of infesting a building.
Pharoah Ants: are about one-sixteenth inch long. These ants are commonly found in hospitals and nursing homes, where they are are capable of transmitting Staphylecoccus and Psuedomonas infections. Pharoah Ants also invade restaurants, apartment buildings and similar dwellings.
Ants with wings can easily be mistaken for termites, which may lead to a wrong treatment. In comparison, ants have a very narrow thorax (mid-section), while termites' bodies are more uniform.

Need Pest Control Service at Home or Work? Boaz, Alabama Custom Pest Control 256-706-3315

  Insects can be a nuisance, and it’s so expensive to hire a pest control exterminator each month. Does it ever seem like you’ve tried everything to get rid of bugs in your home, and yet they still show up? I know exactly how you feel. A couple years ago, my life took an unexpected turn, and I ended up moving into an apartment complex in town. I had never lived in an apartment before, and it wasn’t the cleanest place, but I was happy to escape my previous conditions. At first, everything seemed to be great, but as time went on and neighbors began to move in and out around me, the roaches started moving into my apartment. Don’t get me wrong, I actually lived in my apartment, so it wasn’t always the cleanest place, but I had never had roaches in my life!    I was so frustrated one night after having a party at my place with some friends, and the roaches decided to come out from hiding. If I remember correctly, I think we killed about 85 roaches in my kitchen that night. I h...

How to Get Rid of Fleas?

 Fleas are parasitic insects that pose significant challenges to households, especially those with pets. As bloodsucking pests, they thrive in warm and humid environments, such as Alabama, making them a common nuisance for residents. Understanding the life cycle of fleas is crucial for effective control and prevention. Fleas undergo four distinct stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Female fleas can lay between four to eight eggs after each meal, leading to rapid population growth (Flea Life Cycle & Life Stages, 2023) . The entire life cycle can span from a few weeks to several months depending on environmental conditions. The first stage begins with microscopic eggs that hatch into larvae within one to twelve days. These larvae are often found in carpets and other shaded areas where they feed on organic debris. After living as larvae for about four to eighteen days, they enter the pupal stage—a dormant period that can last from several days up to a year. Finally, adult fleas e...
