Ant Information
From the 22,000 ants species that are discovered so far, only a few, fortunately, act as pests to humans. What makes ants so remarkable is that they are extremely hard-working and dedicated to their tasks. For those who might know yet, it is interesting to note that ants are hierarchical in nature and highly social insects that function like clock-work . Where each ant essentially represents a cog. With several missing the colony would not be as effective at doing its job as it does now. Ants behave in a very systematic order as if these ants almost seem coded, and just doing what they need to do in order to thrive. Unfortunately for us, we know about these types of behaviors through first-hand experience, and rather want them to leave instead of letting them stay to observe them. Ants plague all Canadians equally and are here to stay.
Homes and commercial properties are equally affected, as ants make no distinction between businesses and homes. Some common species you might come across are the Argentine Ant, the Thief Ant, the Ghost Ant, the Moisture Ant, the Pavement Ant, the Pharaoh Ant, the Bigheaded Ant, the Acrobat Ant, the Citronella Ant, the Carpenter Ant. the Red Imported Fire Ant, the Field Ant, and the Odorous House Ant. With the Pavement Ant, the Pharaoh Ant, and the Carpenter Ant being the most notorious of them all and one of the most common ant species our technicians encounter.
All these ants all are usually found in the Pickering area and beyond, both outdoors and indoors. To eliminate ants from your property completely, contact our ant control Pickering services to get professional treatment and preventive ant control solutions.

Types of Ants
To the average person, all ants might look the same, but there is a whole world to discover different ants. These are the ants our technicians come across on a daily basis. Carpenter Ant, Imported Odorous Ant, Pavement Ant, and the Imported Fire Ant.
Carpenter ants, are often mistaken as being able to eat wood. However this is not true at all. Instead of eating the wood they actually discard the wood particles which are called ‘frass’. Frass in many aspects resembles wood shavings or wood dust which can often be found under fresh-entry points. Carpenter ants make their nests which we call galleries by tunneling their way through wood with the help of their mandibles. These tunnels can be extended over time and can become very intricate structures that can degrade the quality over wood greatly over time and can be a danger to the structural integrity of a building. Carpenter ants invade homes with a satellite colony that branched off from the primary colony. They prefer a drier habitat than their primary colony which prefers a more humid wet environment.
Odorous Ants live up to their name due to the fact when they are stepped on, they release a pungent smell. Odorous Ants measure 1.5 mm to 3mm in length. They have a liking to sweet food and also feed on small insects. Outdoors they are known to make nests under stones, debris, logs, stones, and even soil in some instances. Their colony can house as much as 10,000 ants in a single colony.
Red Imported Fire Ants are most likely to be avoided by people and animals alike as they are known to give a painful sting. They are about 3mm to 9mm in lent and have a dark-brown to intense red color to them. Generally there the outdoor-types, but if found inside they can forage for food.
Pavement Ants are one of the most familiar ants known to many Canadians in urban areas. These ants have the habit to nest under pavement, stones, bricks. What makes these types of ants so interesting is that they can have multiple queens. Pavement ant colonies consist of 3000-4000 ants in a single colony alone. Their diet is made of up insects, honeydew, seeds, and honeydew. Indoors their tastes are more refined and have a preference for nuts, cheeses, and meats.

Why Hire a Professional Ant Exterminator?
This a very question and makes sense. Why not hop over to the local hardware store and pick up the first and best option you see? The reason why this might be counter-productive is that these repellants, traps, and sprays offer nothing but temporary relief for a problem that has already blown out of proportion which makes it impossible to reverse for the average DIYer. Technicians are licensed insured professionals that have access to truly potent formulations and have an arsenal of tools at their disposal that simply goes unmatched when you compare it to what is available at your local store. Over-the-counter repellants and sprays are not effective by design, because there are stringent regulations placed on them that regulates the amount of potency allowed for consumer use. As mentioned before, technicians have the authorization and the proper licensing from the provincial Ministry of Environment of Ontario to purchase and apply these formulations. Aside from that, our technicians have undergone rigorous training and have years of experience in putting infestations to an end across Pickering and neighboring cities alike. Technicians have in-depth knowledge about the various behavioral patterns and breeding habits of pests that roam Pickering and beyond. This triade of expertise, skill, and adaptability are essential to bringing any infestation to a definitive stop for good. It is this same triade that can be traced back to our impeccable team at Pest Control Pickering.
