This destructive pest requires an intensive search for the colony and a direct treatment of the nest ( or nests ) in order to have success. With the Carpenter Ants knack for hiding their nests in hard to find areas and the fact that the population may number in the thousands, it is important to use the right equipment. ALLPEST uses modern technology, like the Micro- Injector to find and destroy Carpenter Ants where they hide. Combine this with the traditional treatment options such as Crack and Crevice, Drilling and Dusting of wall voids and a thorough Perimeter Treatment. These are the cornerstones of an excellent Carpenter Ant Program. As you can see there are options.
IPM also plays a part in the scenario as well. Proper maintenance is key. Cleaning out gutters, trimming back vegetation and finding and fixing leaks are just three things that are on the list.
ALLPEST also is using the latest developments in Baiting technology. These treatments are very promising and success has been shown. The many different Baits on the market come in different formulations. These fit very well into an IPM program. These consist of Liquid, Granular, Gels and Solid Baits. All using a variety of food attractants. The reasoning behind this is the constant changing of the ants appetite for specific nutrients. There are a variety of active ingredients as well, the most popular being Boric Acid, a substance that is only a little more toxic than table salt. All these baits are designed to take advantage of trophillaxis, which means the way ant foragers bring back the nutrients that the colony needs to survive.
Whatever the situation, ALLPEST can take any combination of the treatments mentioned above and apply them to your specific needs. Call for a free quote today.
