Are ants marching one by one into your Seattle home? While a single ant might seem harmless, a trail leading to your kitchen is a sign of a larger invasion. At AMPM Exterminators, we specialize in identifying the specific ant species targeting your property and implementing targeted strategies for complete elimination.
Why DIY Ant Control Often Fails
Store-bought sprays may kill the ants you see, but they miss the heart of the problem: the hidden colony and its queen. This often leads to a temporary fix followed by a frustrating resurgence. Effective ant control requires strategic expertise to locate the nest and stop the invasion at its source.
Our Targeted Ant Extermination Process
We don’t believe in one size fits all solutions. Our approach is methodical and precise:
-
In Depth Inspection: Our technicians act as detectives, tracking ant trails to find entry points and nest locations, whether they’re in walls, under floors, or outdoors.
-
Species Identification: Correctly identifying the ant species (e.g., moisture loving Carpenter Ants, sugar craving Odorous House Ants) is crucial for choosing the most effective treatment.
-
Strategic Treatment: We use targeted baits and barriers that worker ants carry back to the colony, ensuring the queen is eliminated and the entire population collapses.
-
Exclusion & Prevention: We’ll identify and help you seal entry points and provide guidance on removing attractants like food spills and moisture issues.
