Top Signs You Need Ant Control in Grosse Ile

Ant trails in your kitchen or bathrooms

These trails form when ants release a pheromone scent that guides other ants to follow the same route, creating a steady stream of activity.

ANT MOUNDS NEAR PATIOS OR FOUNDATION

Ants can easily access and contaminate food sources, posing health risks by spreading bacteria.

INFESTATION GROWTH

Ant colonies can grow rapidly, and without control, a small issue can escalate into a major infestation, making them harder to eliminate.

COST EFFICIENCY

Addressing an ant problem early reduces the potential for expensive repairs or more intensive pest control measures down the road.

frequently asked questions about ants

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • What is the best way to get rid of ants in my Grosse Ile home?

    We recommend a combination of targeted baiting and perimeter sprays by a licensed ant exterminator familiar with Grosse Ile’s unique environment.

  • Are carpenter ants dangerous to my home in Grosse Ile?

    Yes. Carpenter ants can cause structural damage by tunneling through wood. They're common in older and waterfront homes in Grosse Ile.

  • What should I do if I find ants in my home?

    Contact a professional pest control service like Downriver Pest Control. While store-bought ant sprays may kill some ants, they rarely eliminate the colony.

  • How do you treat for ants?

    We use a combination of baits and residual treatments to target the entire colony, not just the ants you see. This provides long-term control.

  • How long does it take to eliminate an ant infestation?

    The length of time varies depending on the size of the infestation and the type of ant. Most infestations are controlled within 1-2 weeks.

  • Are your ant control treatments safe for children and pets?

    Yes, our treatments are applied with safety in mind. We use EPA-approved products that are safe when used as directed.

  • How much does ant control cost?

    The cost of ant control depends on the infestation's size, type of ant, and treatment required. Contacting us for a quote is the best way to determine pricing.

  • Do you offer ongoing ant prevention services in Grosse Ile?

    Yes, we offer affordable quarterly and monthly pest control plans to prevent ants and other pests year-round.

  • Why do I keep seeing ants even after treatment?

    You may still see some ant activity as bait treatments draw ants out before eliminating the colony. This is a normal part of the process.
