When to Call an Ant Exterminator

Ants may not seem like a serious pest problem, but in actuality, they are one of the more difficult pests to control. Ant colonies can grow rapidly and seem never-ending, which is why it’s important to call an ant exterminator when you notice the signs of an infestation. 

DIY and all-natural ant control may somewhat work to prevent ants, but controlling a full-blown infestation requires the expertise of an ant pest control company. Read on to learn when to call Pest Defense Solutions!

Are Ant Infestations Dangerous?

Even though they are a nuisance and may contaminate surfaces, most types of ants aren’t a huge threat to humans or properties. Carpenter ants and fire ants, however, pose a bit more of a threat. Fire ants are infamous for being more aggressive and may sting when threatened or if their nest is disturbed.

Carpenter ants live and tunnel through wood, and can hollow out structures when they aren’t caught and controlled in a timely manner. If you’ve spotted either of these types of ants, it’s crucial to call an ant exterminator.
