The most common ants we face are: Argentine ants, Thief ants, Odorous house ants, Crazy ants, Ghost ants, Pharaoh ants, California fire ants, Pavement ants, Carpenter ants, Harvester ant, and the Velvety tree ant. Many of these species can create nests with well over half a million ants. No wonder homeowners struggle with control them so much. 

If you’re looking for a pest control company to handle all your ant problems, than look no further! Barrier Pest Solutions has a proven method that guarantees quick and effective results: 

Investigate

The first step to eliminate ant issues begins with inspection. Your pest control professional will inspect every trailway, crack, crevice and entry point into your home. Identifying the source of where the ants are nesting. The most common ant species in California are: Argentine ant, Thief ant, Odorous house ant, Crazy ant, Ghost ant, Pharaoh ant, California fire ant, Pavement ant, Carpenter ant, Harvester ant, and the Velvety tree ant. Not all species of ants are treated the same. Some will prefer sweeter baits while ants are in search of more protein based baits. By identifying the ant species along with the time of year, your pest control professional will be able to choose what will be more effective. 

Eliminate

Using a blend of target liquid application, granular baits, gel baits and other ant control products, your pest control professional will ensure ants are not only knocked down quickly to provide relief but that all the ants back at the nest are infected and eradicated. Our ant control also comes with interior baiting in discrete and hidden areas. Not only does this speed up the extermination of your ant nest, but also encourages the ants to stay off your counters and food.

Family-Friendly Treatments

Barrier exists to protect families and their homes from unwanted pests. Thus your family’s safety is always our top priority. At Barrier Pest Solutions, we always apply pest control products in the safest manner possible. All products used by Barrier Pest Solutions will always be the lowest impact possible to help protect not only your family but the environment. To help reduce the use of pest products, your technician will make recommendations on precautions you can take to minimize future ant activity such as: 

• Making sure food is not easy to access for ants by regularly wiping down surfaces and vacuuming crumbs that fall. 
• Take out trash as often as possible. Trash is an open invite to many pest but especially ants. Since they can smell better than dogs, they can smell your trash building up from “a mile away” so to speak. Regularly clean out your trash cans with soap and water to remove food debris. 
• Seal leftovers away in airtight containers. Any items that have trouble sealing, should be placed in the fridge since it’s harder for ants to access. 
• Repair any leaks around your property to minimize ants coming to drink water. Oftentimes leaks around water spigots or sprinklers can go unnoticed for sometime. 

These proactive measures can help your pest treatments go as far as possible.
