Problems Caused by Ants:
Ant infestations are a common issue in many regions. Ants can thrive in various climates and environments, making them frequent pests found in backyards. Effective ant control can help prevent problems such as:
Trails
Ants leave invisible trails of pheromones to guide other ants to food sources. These trails can quickly lead to large numbers of ants invading your home or business.
Colonies
Ant colonies can grow to enormous sizes, sometimes containing up to 500,000 ants. If left unchecked, these colonies can spread throughout your property, invade multiple areas, and become difficult to control without professional help.
Nesting
Ants often build nests in walls, under floors, in the garden, or even under a home’s foundation, causing structural damage over time. Their nesting habits can lead to costly repairs if not addressed.
Lifespan
Ants have a relatively long lifespan for insects, with worker ants living up to seven years and queens up to 15 years. This long lifespan allows colonies to persist and grow over time, increasing the need for long-term ant control strategies to prevent recurring infestations.

Proper ant management requires knowledge and experience. The GGA team possesses both, making us the best choice for effectively dealing with ant infestations.
Ant infestations often stem from a few common factors:
Causes
- Food Sources: Ants are attracted to crumbs, spills, and improperly stored food. Leaving food out in the open or not sealing containers properly can draw ants into your home.
- Water Sources: Ants need water to survive. Leaky pipes, standing water, and moist areas can attract ants.
- Entry Points: Ants can enter through tiny cracks, gaps in doors or windows, and other small openings. Poorly sealed entry points provide easy access for ants.
- Nesting Sites Near the Home: Ants build nests in various locations, such as soil, walls, under floors, and structural voids. Once they establish a nest nearby, they search for food indoors.
Treatments
- Professional Assistance: The best way to assess and treat an ant infestation is to hire a professional pest control service like GGA. Our expert technicians are trained to provide solutions for your specific ant problem.
- Identification: Our professionals will accurately identify the ant species causing the infestation. We’ll make sure the treatment method used is the most effective for the type of ant invading your space.
- Indoor Treatment: We use products like ant baits, sprays, and dusts to eliminate ants indoors. Baits are especially helpful because ants carry them back to the nest, targeting the entire colony.
- Outdoor Treatment: To prevent ants from entering your home, we apply a specialized insecticide around the perimeter. This creates a protective barrier that stops ants in their tracks and keeps your home pest-free.
Prevention
- Maintain Cleanliness: Keep your home clean by regularly wiping down surfaces, sweeping floors, and quickly cleaning up spills and crumbs.
- Seal Entry Points: Seal cracks, gaps, and openings around doors, windows, and utility lines to prevent ants from entering.
- Eliminate Water Sources: Fix leaky pipes, faucets, and appliances to remove potential water sources that attract ants.
- Proper Food Storage: Store food in airtight containers and clean pet food dishes regularly to remove food sources that attract ants.
- Trim Vegetation: Keep trees, shrubs, and vegetation trimmed away from the perimeter of your home to reduce potential nesting sites and entry points for ants.

Frequently Asked Questions
The cost of ant extermination varies depending on the size of the infestation, the type of ants, and the treatment needed. Factors such as the location and size of the infestation also affect the price. Contact us for a detailed quote tailored to your specific situation.
Signs of an ant infestation include seeing trails of ants moving to and from food sources, finding nests or ant hills around your property, and noticing ants in your food or on surfaces in your home. You might also see discarded wings from swarming ants.
To permanently get rid of ants, you must eliminate the entire colony, including the queen. This usually involves professional treatment that targets the ant colony and their nest. Professional exterminators can identify the species and apply treatments deep into the colony.
Prevent ant infestations by keeping your home clean and free of crumbs, sealing cracks and entry points, fixing leaks and moisture issues, storing food in airtight containers, and trimming vegetation that touches your house to reduce access points for ants.
While DIY methods can help manage minor issues, professional ant control is recommended for thorough and lasting results. Experts can identify the specific ant species and use targeted treatments to eliminate the infestation.
