Ant Pest Control

Ant Characteristics

Ants are very social bugs that have a strong colony structure. While the reproductive ants continue to keep the colony growing, the workers are off performing miscellaneous tasks. A completely developed nest can hold upwards of two to three thousand ants at a time. The carpenter ant will typically be found near rotting wood or wood piles that are often located near households.

Another more vicious ant is the fire ant. Named for the painful stinging bite that ensues with nearly any contact with the insects, a person rarely receives just one bite. Typically any unfortunate individual or animal standing on a fire ant hill is subject to dozens, if not hundreds, of simultaneous stinging bites resulting in large painful welts. Fire ants can be dangerous to small animals or children when attacking in a swarm. Addison Exterminating Company deals with ant pest control regularly, and is very efficient and effective in their practices. Ant pest control, if not performed properly, will (rather than remove your pest) simply cause them to spread to more areas. Fire ant hills are large, and unsightly, and ruin your lawn. Let Addison Exterminating Company rid you of your ant infestation and stop them from coming back.
