Identifying the Ants

Pavement ants are a common nuisance around homes, workplaces and apartments. These ants are often seen at cracks in driveways, sidewalks, and foundations. And although they’re small, they can make these cracks worse. To exterminate them, Pest Express starts by identifying the nest location. Exterior and interior treatment for these ants are different. The safe extermination treatment for pavement ants helps to target the queen and the entire colony. We avoid using repellant sprays directly on trails, as this can scatter the colony and make control more difficult to resolve. Once completed we can seal cracks in your foundation and sidewalks to minimize access points. For extensive infestations or recurring issues, Pest Express may suggest a seasonal treatment schedule.
