How To Prevent An Ant Infestation?

• Minimize food access: ants use pheromone trails to return to a found food source. Cleaning these trails can help to keep further ants away.
• Seal possible ant entry points. Ants have been known to enter through cracks, window sills and door gaps.
• Ants are clever. Smaller ants can get into sealed jars by navigating the thread. They will try to find any opening, big or small, to reach food sources.

How To Deal With An Ant Infestation?

Once you notice ants in your home or office, it is important to take action immediately. At Birch, we use both chemical and non-chemical treatment options depending on the severity of the infestation. Our pest control methods are designed to target specific ant species as well as the entire colony.

Birch Fumigators stops ants in their tracks. When ant traps and other methods aren’t not be working, contact the professionals for fumigation for long-term ant control. Ants will be eliminated and colony disruption is minimized.

Over-the-counter sprays or powders will get rid of the ant problem, but this is often not the case. These methods are not only ineffective but can also be dangerous to your health.
