Pests We Treat

Ants

Ants are a common nuisance pest in Boston, infesting homes and businesses throughout the region. These tiny insects can contaminate food, damage property, and cause significant discomfort. At Beantown Pest Control, our experienced technicians are equipped to identify and eliminate ant infestations, and provide effective preventative measures to keep them from returning.

Ants are social insects that live in colonies, with different species exhibiting unique behaviors and characteristics. They're attracted to sweet or sticky substances, proteins, and moisture, making kitchens, bathrooms, and food storage areas prime targets. With over 700 species in the United States, ants can range from harmless to highly invasive, causing structural damage and health concerns.

Our approach to ant control is tailored to the specific species and severity of the infestation. We use a combination of non-chemical and chemical methods to eliminate ant colonies, including baiting systems, perimeter treatments, and nest elimination.

  • What are the signs of an ant infestation?

    Signs of an ant infestation include live ants crawling on countertops, floors, or walls, as well as ant trails or paths of pheromone markings. You may also notice discarded ant wings or body parts, small piles of dirt or debris near cracks or crevices, or sweet or sour odors from ant colonies. Additionally, unexplained food damage or contamination can indicate an ant infestation.

  • How do ants get into my home or business?

    Ants typically enter homes and businesses through cracks and crevices around windows, doors, and pipes, or gaps under baseboards, moldings, and flooring. They can also hitch a ride inside on food or objects, or migrate from nearby nests or colonies. Nearby plants or flowers, as well as shared walls or adjacent units, can also provide entry points.

  • How can I prevent an ant infestation?

    To prevent ant infestations, seal all cracks and crevices with caulk or silicone, and keep food stored in sealed containers. Clean up crumbs and spills promptly, remove standing water and moisture sources, and trim trees and shrubs to reduce leaf contact with your home. Regular cleaning and decluttering of high-risk areas, as well as regular pest control services, can also help monitor for ant activity.
