ANT CONTROL

Ant Control Services

Ants are among the most industrious and hard-working insects in the natural world. An individual ant can reportedly lift up to 50 times its own body weight and if you’ve ever seen an ant colony up close, you know that they reproduce quickly. For every ant you do see, there are hundreds or even thousands more you don’t see.


Some ants are more of a nuisance as they infest homes and businesses, but they don’t inflict damage to property or risk the health and safety of people. Though not considered dangerous, infestations of these types of ants should still be addressed because it takes a lot of hard work to eradicate an ant colony. Unlike house ants, carpenter ants are wood-destroying pests. Though they do not eat wood like termites, they tunnel inside of wood to create nesting areas. This can make wood weak and can even compromise the structural integrity of the house or building. 


To thoroughly get rid of ants the first time around, it is always recommended to call upon a knowledgeable and experienced ant exterminator. At Killo Exterminating Co., Inc., our pest control team has years of experience providing ant control and ant removal solutions to property owners throughout Charlotte, and beyond.

What Types of Ants Can Be Found in my Home?

For the most part, ants have a similar look amongst them regardless of the type of ant. However, ants come in a variety of shapes and sizes but each will be a part of 1 out of 3 colony caste types: queens, workers, or males. Some common types of ants that would be in your home requiring you to request ant control services are as follows:


  • Carpenter Ants
  • Odorous House Ants
  • Pavement Ants
  • Crazy Ants


If you happen to find these ants in your home, don't hesitate to contact Kill Exterminating Co Inc. We specialize in ant control for your home to ensure you can live comfortably.

House ants can be difficult to deal with when they decide to make your home their home. And while there are means of dealing with ants when they become abundantly present in your home, there are a number of measures you can take to keep the issue under control.


  • Cleanliness - Regularly vacuuming one's home can help to ensure that any crumbs or particles of food are not readily available for ants to consume, thus facilitating the growth of their population in your home.


  • Properly Storing Your Food- Minimizing available food for ants is a very common and often quite effective means of keeping them from becoming a problem in your home. By placing food and leftovers in sealed containers or bags, you are effectively minimizing an unwanted pest's access to it.


  • Minimizing Openings- By sealing cracks, shutting doors, and screening windows, you are effectively removing a number of points where ants are gaining access to your home.
