Rid Your Home of Acrobat Ants
R
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
D
Defend
Following the initial treatment, we schedule regular follow-up visits to monitor any activity and keep the Acrobat Ants at bay. With our proactive approach to pest management, we aim to not only eradicate your current Acrobat Ant problem but also to defend your home against future invasions, providing you with peace of mind and a pest-free environment.
