Kill Small Little Black Ants spraying in king county Seattle

Little Black ants are marching in full force. Yes it’s Winter in Seattle
and ants are pesky all year round. A king county area homeowner in North
Seattle discovered little Black ants in the hallway walls.

Ants can populate into armies of ants in a very short time. The homeowner was certain that this was a little Black ant problem. Only because there had
been ants in the bathroom wall the prior year. Like a lot of people the
owner tried a do-it-yourself product to try to get rid of the ants in the
wall. But was not successful in getting rid of the little Black ants.
Having had a successful elimination with AMPM Exterminators pest control service  the decision was made to call in the professionals.

Black ants can access the home:

Little Black ants also known as Sugar Ants are hard to see at times. So do
not underestimate the little pests. Armies of Ants can and will find ways
to gain access into the home. One of the favorite places to set up camp are
in the walls. It’s very common to try over the counter products such as
perimeter sprays. It may be effective for a couple of Ants, definitely not
for a full blown infestation. Keep in mind that chances are that
infestations can be in more than one area of the home. The ants are able to
move the scent highway to a different location. Little Black ants can
travel up trees that are the house. Branches are perfect bridges to enter
the house through holes, cracks. The owner made an appointment which was
confirmed with AMPM Exterminators to ambush the little Black Ant armies.

Ways that little Black ants infest:

Moisture problems in the home attracts ants. A helpful hint is to keep the
gutters clean. Downspouts adjusted to direct water away from the home is
crucial. Heaps of dirt are havens for ants and should be kept away from the
foundation. Always check for standing water around the perimeter of the
home. Ants are constantly marching for water, food and shelter. Seattle is
in the Pacific Northwest and ideal for ants due to the rainfall. Look for
plumbing and structure leaks to repair. A check for both perimeter and
interior for holes, cracks and crevices is priority. Sealing and repairs
will prevent giving further entry access to the Sugar ants. Shrubs and
plants should be kept under control. Tree branches should be kept pruned
back at least 10 feet from the roof. When an Ant bait is used it will be
carried back to the ant colonies to be shared to kill the colony. It is
wise to maintain the perimeter of the structure with a recurring service to
prevent new Black Ant infestation. AMPM Exterminators would provide further
information regarding weekly, bi-monthly, monthly or quarterly services.

question from the AMPM Exterminators technician was if there were any

scent trails were being established. The AMPM Exterminators were prepared

extermination. More importantly the technician had the expertise available
