Ants
How Green Shield Pest Pros Handles Ants
Thorough Inspections:
We begin with a detailed inspection to identify the species, locate their nests, and pinpoint the entry points. This helps us create a customized plan that’s tailored to your exact needs.
Eco-Friendly Treatments:
Your family, pets, and the environment matter to us. That’s why we use eco-friendly treatments that get rid of ants without compromising your safety or the planet’s.
Colony Elimination:
We target the queen and disrupt the heart of the colony, stopping reproduction and ensuring the ants don’t return. By hitting the colony where it counts, we set you up for lasting results.
Ongoing Prevention:
We don’t stop once the ants are gone. We’ll give you expert tips to keep them out and schedule follow-ups to make sure your home stays ant-free.
Dealing with Ants in Ohio
- Odorous House Ants: These small, dark brown or black ants are Ohio’s resident troublemakers. Crush one, and you'll immediately smell the rotten odor they release. They love kitchens, where sugary spills and crumbs are the object of their relentless foraging.
- Carpenter Ants: Bigger, badder, and capable of some serious damage, carpenter ants tunnel through wood to build their nests. As they burrow, they weaken the structure of your home, creating costly problems for you down the line. Typically black or a mix of red and black, you can find these large pests roaming around food storage areas or anywhere with water-damaged wood.
- Pavement Ants: These tiny brown ants build their colonies in cracks around your sidewalks, driveways, and foundations. Indoors, they’ll stop at nothing in their search for food, often appearing in large numbers as they forage around your kitchen.
- Pharaoh Ants: Tiny, light yellow, and incredibly hard to eliminate, pharaoh ants thrive in warm, humid environments and often nest indoors. Their rapid reproduction and ability to form multiple colonies make them one of the most stubborn pests to eliminate.
- Got one of these ants taking over your space? That’s where we step in. The experts here at Green Shield Pest Pros are proud to offer eco-friendly and reliable solutions that will kick ants to the curb, regardless of species.
Understanding an Ant Infestation
Trails of Ants:
Seeing ants moving in a steady line to and from food? They’ve found a reliable entry point.
Nesting Evidence:
Outdoors, the colonies can look like dirt mounds near sidewalks, on your lawn, or around driveways. Indoors, carpenter ants leave sawdust-like material near wood or inside your walls.
Winged Ants:
These swarmers are often mistaken for termites, signaling a mature colony and the potential for increased ant activity.
Food Contamination:
If you find ants swarming over food spills or crumbs, it means they’ve discovered a steady food source inside your home.
