Kings Pest Professional Ant Extermination Cincinnati Ohio
The ant is a member of the Formicidae order that has tens of thousands of other members. The metapleural gland is unique to the ant species. The exocrine glands generate a secretion that plays a major role in keeping the ant species healthy. The secretion has antibiotic properties that are capable of fighting off infectious diseases related to bacteria and fungus. It is believed some ant species experience a reduced respiration rate when the metapleural glands are not working. When exposed to dangerous fungi and bacteria, the antibiotic secretion helps the ant’s body stay healthy and free of infectious diseases.
Why Are Ants Infiltrating My Vacation Home In Cincinnati?
Ants cannot differentiate between a residential and commercial establishment. The insects also do not notice a difference between single- and multi-family homes or primary or vacation homes. Ants are also not known to discriminate between Cincinnati residences, keeping one thing in mind when choosing which property to infiltrate. A food supply is more often related to ant infiltration. It is not unusual for two or more ant colonies to erect underground tunneling networks in the same vicinity, resulting in food shortages.
If ants have infiltrated your vacation home in Cincinnati, you can contribute them to food. Ants utilize tiny exterior-to-interior cracks, crevices, and gaps as home entry points. These openings are commonly located around vulnerable crawlspace vents, heating & air conditioning ductwork, damaged siding, plumbing pipe, and electrical wiring passageways, and garage door seals.
Does An Ant Colony Pose Health Risks For My Children?
Ant-borne illnesses, such as salmonella and Shigella, are always a possibility in homes with vulnerable food storage systems. Ants utilize their strong mandibles to gnaw through vulnerable manufacturing food packages like paperboard. When most people think of ants, they instantly think they are 100 percent harmless. Unfortunately, this is not the case, since ants have been associated with foodborne illness.
Ant infiltration of residential establishments has a slight risk of leading to foodborne illness. However, this is only a possibility in homes where non-perishable and other non-refrigerated food products are not stored in glass, stainless steel, and plastic sealed containers.
How Can I Get Rid Of Ants In My Vacation Home?
Vacation homes are great, as they act as a home away from home for singles, couples, and families. When people visit their vacation homes, they expect them to be fully ready for their arrival. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, especially when an ant colony is somewhere nearby. Before you know it, your vacation home is infiltrated with worker ants. If treatment is not rendered soon, the infiltration will transition into a full-blown ant infestation.
Once the ant infestation has set in, the treatment options will be limited to one – professional ant control. We combine an industrial-strength pesticide with visual home inspection to deliver maximum results. Our goal is to exterminate every member of the ant colony time-efficiently. We can do this with the help of our professional ant management. To learn more, please feel free to reach out to our Cincinnati-based extermination team.
Is It Possible To Exterminate A Colony Of Ants With Over-The-Counter Pesticide?
No, an ant colony can range between a few hundred to a few thousand members. Once the colony has exceeded 1,000 members, the pest control strategy must be highly potent, which over-the-counter pesticides are not.
DIY pest control products are generally standard formulas or low potency formulas. Our exterminators do not recommend DIY pesticides or insecticides to treatment ant infestation. If you decide to take the DIY pest control route, you could end up spending more than if you had purchased our professional ant extermination.
Does Professional Pest Control Use Chemicals?
Conventional pest control does utilize chemicals that pose some human health and environmental risks. With the help of Ohio’s top manufacturers and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), we can exterminate an ant infestation without compromising our customer’s health and the environment. In addition to this, our protocol prohibits the use of chemical pesticides in homes and businesses occupied by humans.
When Will The Exterminator Arrive At My Cincinnati Home On Appointment Day?
Our exterminators act with the utmost professionalism. When appointment day rolls around, you will be notified several hours prior to the scheduled appointment. When everything is going as planned, the exterminator will arrive within 15 minutes of the appointment.
Our service request process takes between 24 and 48 hours to complete during off-peak ant season. During the peak season, starting in late spring and ending in late fall, our exterminators are working extended schedules to help the residents and businesses of Cincinnati maintain ant-free establishments.
How Can I Protect My Cincinnati Home From A Repeat Ant Infiltration?
Sealing all entry points into your home is a great place to start. Ants utilize tiny cracks and gaps around doors and windows, unsealed air conditioning ducts, and basement vents to infiltrate homes. We also suggest taking advantage of our free ant inspection, consultation, and written quote.
