React Pest Control

Ants are relentless!! So should your anti-ant combat plan. One of the most effective ways of defeating ants is to plan an ant management plan. Insect foraging products or ant baits are a very successful tool in managing and problems. The goal is to manage ant problems rather than a total elimination of ants. Why is management better than totally eliminating the little varmints? Ok, well, the answer to that is, GO BACK AND READ THE FIRST THREE WORDS OF THIS PARAGRAPH. It's simply not a reasonable goal to shoot for. Despite some claims by other Pest Management companies to "TOTALLY ELIMINATE ANTS FOREVER" we choose to deal with reality. The reality is that those claims are designed as a sales pitch more than a realistic game plan. Is this merely our point of view? No! The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) launched an investigation into claims by Pest Control companies who claimed 100% elimination of all pests. Why, because the claims are just not reasonable. Because ants will continue to migrate into your home from the outside environment there is never going to be a time when you can declare. ALL THE ANTS ARE GONE FOREVER!!! They are like waves at the beach, they keep rolling in. There may well be periods where you do not see ants. However, some ants are active 12 months of the year, inside wall voids, below floors, in door saddles, in basement sills, etc... A lot of times an ant problem may seem to disappear, but what may actually disappear in many cases are merely the symptoms, the ants that are out and visible to you. These ants that you see are sometimes foraging for food to bring back to the colonies buried inside of walls and floors and so on. It's also important to note that ant colonies can potentially be huge and have more than one and sometimes several small colonies known as "Satellite Colonies." These are smaller off-shoots of the main colony that may be well hidden somewhere inside your home. This is where a regular service for ants comes into play. By applying ant bait on a regular basis for these food seekers to find and carry back to the colony, we are able to keep ants in check and even eliminate that particular colony. But as we discussed earlier, other ants will continue to seek out your home as unwelcome tenants or a smaller satellite colony or colonies may remain alive and well without a regular service plan. It's similar to cutting the grass. There is never a time when you can cut the grass once and that's the end of it. The idea in short is to prevent ant colonization and provide a managed approach either on a monthly or quarterly basis, depending on what your specific needs are. By implementing a treatment with the use of baits, it's important to realize that results will take a few days, to sometimes a few weeks. Then why use a bait and wait? Simple, it's safer and a lot more effective. We are getting the product into the hiding places that spray doesn't penetrate and by doing away with regular spraying we have a safer environment! HOW GREAT IS THAT!
