For ant pest control, there are several methods you can try:

1. Sanitation: Keep your house clean and free of food particles that may attract ants. Make sure to wipe down counters, sweep floors, and promptly clean up spills.
2. Seal Entry Points: Ants often enter homes through small cracks and openings. Seal up these entry points with caulk or other sealants to prevent them from getting in.
3. Natural Repellents: Some natural substances like vinegar, citrus peels, cinnamon, and peppermint oil are known to repel ants. You can use these around entry points or areas where ants are seen.
4. Baits: Ant baits are an effective way to control ant populations. Place bait stations near ant trails or where you’ve seen them congregating. The ants will take the bait back to their colony, which will eventually eradicate it.
5. Diatomaceous Earth: This is a natural substance that is effective against ants. Sprinkle it in areas where ants are present, and it will eventually kill them by dehydrating their exoskeletons.
6. Professional Pest Control: If the ant infestation is severe or if you’re having trouble controlling it on your own, consider hiring a professional pest control service. They can assess the situation and apply appropriate treatments.

Remember to always follow safety instructions and use caution when applying any pest control methods, especially if you have pets or small children in the house.

Arizona is home to various species of ants, some of which are common pests and others that are less frequently encountered. Here are some types of ants found in Arizona:

1. Carpenter Ants (Camponotus spp.): These are large ants that can cause damage to wooden structures by excavating nests in them. They are typically black, red, or a combination of both colors.
2. Red Imported Fire Ants (Solenopsis invicta): These aggressive ants can deliver painful stings. They often build large mounds in open areas and can be a nuisance in residential areas.
3. Harvester Ants (Pogonomyrmex spp.): Harvester ants are known for their large, conspicuous nests and foraging trails. They primarily feed on seeds and can become a problem in yards and gardens.
4. Odorous House Ants (Tapinoma sessile): These small, dark brown ants emit a foul odor when crushed, hence their name. They are commonly found invading homes in search of food.
5. Pharaoh Ants (Monomorium pharaonis): These tiny, light brown ants are a common indoor pest, often found in kitchens and bathrooms. They can be challenging to control due to their ability to form large colonies with multiple queens.
6. Velvety Tree Ants (Liometopum spp.): These ants are known for their distinctive velvety appearance and are often found nesting in trees and shrubs. They primarily feed on honeydew produced by aphids and scale insects.
7. Western Harvester Ants (Pogonomyrmex occidentalis): Similar to other harvester ants, these ants are common in the desert regions of Arizona. They build large nests and forage for seeds.

These are just a few examples of the many ant species found in Arizona. Each species has its own habits and behaviors, so effective control methods may vary depending on the type of ant infestation you’re dealing with.

Our Methods of Pest Control For Ants:

We use Granule and Liquid Baits

Sometimes we dust wall voids if a nest is found in the wall

We often use pesticide granules that slow release pesticides for long acting pest control residual.

sometimes we use non repellant pesticides where ants can transfer the product to their colony without noticing it.
