Many people say that Bakersfield was built on top of an ant hill. It is very common to find ants regularly inside of a home or business. Ants can be very annoying. Being social insects, when you see one- that means there are several thousand more close by. On the exterior of your home they usually nest in high moisture areas such as mulch, under stones, or around the roots of shrubs and plants. They can also be found around concrete slab or along walkways. Inside of your home they tend to nest in the wall voids of high moisture areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. Does that mean that they won't nest in other areas of your home? Absolutely not. They will go anywhere that they can find food for their colony. It's crucial to hire a pest control professional that can correctly identify the Ant Species during the inspection process and create a treatment program that will eliminate the colony and establish preventative measures to help prevent future activity. At Wow Pest Control, we use only the best materials in the pest control industry. In order to control ants, specialty products that ants can't detect must be utilized. We carry several products that will allow us to treat the entire colony including the queen. Many insecticides purchased at the store will act as a repellent and will only act like a bandaid on a gushing wound.
