Signs Of An Ant Infestation
Before you sign up for ant pest control, understand the signs of an infestation. However, spotting ants in any residential or commercial building is too easy. These ants leave several telltale signs of their presence. You can spot a trail of ants marching to and from a food source, indicating their presence. You can even check the visual cues like visible ant nests, often located in walls, under floorboards, and on ceilings, which are also indicators of a more established ant colony. There could be tiny ant-sized debris, such as their wings or ant frass, near food sources or entry points, indicating an ongoing infestation. If you spot any of these signs in your home or workplace, it’s a clear indication that it’s time to take action.
What Are The Risks of Ant Infestation?
No matter the extent of an ant infestation, it can pose various risks to your health, home, and overall well-being. Here are some of the significant risks associated with ant infestations:
Food Contamination
Ants are stubborn foragers. They have a strong affinity for food sources and are always on the lookout for them. In quest, they can invade your kitchen and pantry. While doing so, these ants can contaminate your food, rendering it unfit for consumption and leading to potential health risks.
Structural Damage
Not all, but certain ant species can even destroy buildings and homes. Take the example of carpenter ants; they can cause significant structural damage to your home. They reside in wooden structures, and, over time, their tunneling activities can weaken wooden structures.
Health Concerns
Ants, when traveling, come into contact with different food sources and different surfaces. While doing so, they pick up and transfer pathogens as well as bacteria. It can lead to serious health concerns and the spread of diseases.
Allergic Reactions
Some individuals are allergic to ant bites and their stings. Although not all ant species are deadly, they can cause severe and painful reactions. Take the example of fire ants, whose sting can even require immediate medical attention.
Psychological Impact
These petite invaders can sometimes be mentally taxing. They are quite active, and the constant presence of these pests can lead to stress and discomfort, affecting your overall quality of life.
Property Damage
Ants may create nests in electrical outlets or appliances, leading to equipment malfunctions and costly repairs. However, they can even pose fire hazards.

How It Works
-
Step 1 Inspection
Ant colonies can be very large and often have satellite colonies spread throughout the area. This means that even if one ant colony is found and destroyed, there may be millions of ants still lurking around the corner. Our team provides a thorough inspection of your property to identify any potential colony locations.
-
Step 2 Treatment
Our team performs a thorough inspection of your property and identifies all nearby ant colonies. Rice’s technicians use environmentally friendly and safe products to treat your home and property. The ant control service in Salisbury, Maryland, residents trust attacks ants at the source in their colonies, and we treat the exterior of your home to prevent future ant colonies from invading.
Don’t DIY!
Even the most dedicated do-it-yourselfer might not do a thorough enough job of identifying all aspects of an ant colony. Generally, DIYers kill only the visible ants and don’t eliminate the larger problem while potentially making the problem worse. Our technicians have years of experience in ant and spider pest control, and they stay up to date on the latest equipment and treatments to ensure your home remains ant-free.
