If you see a few ants scurrying across your countertops or rummaging around in your garbage can, you may be tempted to tackle the infestation yourself. After all, how hard could getting rid of a few ants be? In reality, ants are stealthy creatures; just because you think they’re gone, it doesn’t mean there aren’t many more lurking in your cupboards, baseboards, or walls. Today, the pest control professionals from Atlantic Pest Control in Cass County, IA, will explain how to tackle an ant colony invasion.

Ants may seem small and harmless, but they’re incredibly persistent and resilient—the first sight of a few ants marching in your home means there are many more to come. They can weasel through cracks in your doors or vulnerabilities in your home’s foundation. Most ants, such as sugar ants, come to feed on food scraps, especially sugary, greasy items. Carpenter ants likewise look for food, but they can consume the protein they need in the form of wood. That means these pests can quickly chew through your walls while filling up their bellies.

Many homeowners eliminate the carpenter ants in their entryway, for example, only to find that they’ve already eaten through their home’s interior later on. To avoid property damage and a surge in visitors (these ants will continue inviting their friends), hiring a professional is paramount. Plus, an expert can help you address existing damage and implement preventative measures to combat future invasions.
