Signs Of An Ant Infestation
The warm climate we experience in valley for most of the year has its perks. However, it is a welcoming environment for ants. It is good to be on the lookout for a potential ant infestation on your property, so you can seek a solution before the problem gets out of control.
How Ant Infestations Start
Ant infestations can start for a number of reasons. They generally stem from ant populations seeking food sources or access to new nesting sites. Ants typically make their way into homes and businesses through small openings or cracks in walls or foundations. They are looking for sources of food such as pet food, garbage, leftovers, and crumbs. They may also be attracted to water sources such as leaky pipes, faucets, standing water, and even condensation from air conditioners.
Unfortunately, ant infestations grow very quickly unless promptly controlled. In order to avoid ant-related headaches, it is important to make sure that all food items are stored in sealed containers and any potential ant attractants (water leaks, garbage cans, etc) are secured.
Aim High Pest Management can get your ant problem under control and prevent ants from returning! Some of the most common signs that it is time to call for professional help include live ants, ant pathways, and ant nests. Piles of dirt or wood shavings may also be an indication of an ant infestation.
Fire Ants
One of the most problematic ant species is the fire ant. As you may already know via experience, fire ants bite. These bites are not only painful, but they can also be dangerous. The fire ant’s large stinger injects a powerful venom that can cause a severe reaction in humans, including burning, itching, and swelling.
What’s more, fire ants sting repeatedly. A swarm of fire ants can cause significant injury to you. Fire ant bites that are left untreated can become infected and even lead to ugly scarring. Worst of all, these bites can cause some people to have severe, life-threatening allergic reactions. Needless to say, if you have fire ants on your property, it’s crucial to seek a professional solution immediately. If you think you have fire ants on your property, contact Aim High Pest Management today.
