Sometimes, one of the toughest challenges any pest control company can face is as an Ants Exterminator in NYC. Ants present a challenge because they have such huge colonies and these colonies could be far away from where the ants are noticed. This is due in part to the way ants search for food. Worker ants spend most of their time looking for any source of food. As part of the search process these workers will leave a trail which helps them return home and allows other ants to follow them to the new food source. This unending search for food is one reason that you see ants in your home.
Ants tend to show up only a few at a time which may be the best time to contact an Ants Exterminator in NYC. However, once the ants have located a new source of food they begin a trail of workers to take that food back to the colony. This is where your problems really begin because this trail of ants can quickly become thousands depending on what and where that food source may be. For example, if you have pets and keep some food available for them an ant colony could quickly take over. Once a constant supply of food is found a new colony could form closer to this new source of food. In many cases this is right outside the home alongside brick walls or concrete steps and patios.
The simplest step for an Ants Exterminator in NYC is to place a little pesticide around the home. Unfortunately, ants are very industrious and will usually find a way around these chemicals. This means that the exterminator must apply even more chemicals to keep the problem under control. Of course, it is possible to remove the ant problem by eliminating the colony, but even this task can be tedious. If the pesticide isn’t delivered deeply into the colony some ants will survive. If one of those ants is a queen then the colony will rebuild again. This problem is exacerbated when the colony lives beside and under the foundation of your building. For this type of extermination the best pesticide is one that is delivered by the ants themselves, but applying this type of solution requires an experienced contractor like Metro Pest Control.
