Ants form colonies that vary in size from a few in number to organized colonies consisting of millions. Mostly large colonies are comprised of sterile, wingless females. Almost all ant colonies have some fertile males and one or more fertile females called “queens”. Guaranteed & affordable ant control can be achieved by proper identification. 

     Carpenter ants, pavement ants, pharaoh ants, and ghost ants are commonly found in Canada. Carpenter ants can be red or black in color and range from 6-25 mm in size. These ants can damage wooden structures, eat plants, animal matter, insects, body fluids and grease, etc. Mostly ants are found in the kitchen, dining and food storage areas. Ants are most active in warm weather (spring and summer).

     Ants might have nests outside of the house or inside in the walls, ceiling, doors, or window frames. We specialize in the control of ants. We find the nest, track the queen and extent of an infestation and then decide the appropriate method of treatment.

How To Get Rid Of Pharaoh Ants

     Pharaoh ants nest in a wide variety of locations within a structure and are very difficult to target and control. However, it is useful to look near sources of water and food. They typically nest in warm, hard to reach areas such as walls, splashboards of kitchen countertops, and in-wall sockets. Pharaoh ants prefer to indulge in meats or greases, but will also feed on sugar syrups and jellies.

     Pharaoh ants must be treated by using protein and sugar baits. It is very important not to use any insecticide sprays or dust as this will stress the colony and will cause a split and spread, making the problem much more difficult to contain.
