Rid Your Home of Acrobat Ants

Remove
We will do an inspection and then use baits and sprays to remove the Acrobat Ants from the house. The ants will take the baits back to the colony to kill everyone, and the sprays will create a barrier inside the home.

Install
For the exterior of your home, we install our “Scorched Earth Barrier” comprised of environmentally friendly sprays, dust formulations, and granules in your yard designed to annihilate and keep Acrobat Ants out. The dusts go into the weepholes to create a barrier inside the walls, and then the spray makes a barrier on the outside of the home, lastly, the granules extend the barrier into the yard, preventing most recurrence

Ongoing pest services are highly recommended for maintaining a pest-free environment, especially for ants. Ants can be persistent and may re-infest your property over time. Regular treatments help to create a barrier that prevents new colonies from establishing themselves. Additionally, ongoing services allow us to monitor your property for any signs of ant activity and address potential issues before they become significant problems. This proactive approach ensures long-term control and peace of mind.
For most ant infestations, ongoing exterior treatments are often sufficient. By creating a strong barrier around your home’s perimeter, we can prevent ants from entering in the first place. Interior treatments are typically only necessary during the initial phase to address any ants that have already made their way inside. Once the initial interior problem is resolved, regular exterior treatments should maintain control and keep your home ant-free. However, if you notice any signs of ants indoors, please contact us, and we will promptly address the issue.
