Ant Control & Extermination Services

🐜

Ant infestations are one of the most common pest problems for homes and businesses throughout Southeast Michigan. What often begins as a few ants searching for food can quickly become a much larger infestation once a colony establishes itself inside walls, beneath floors, or around the exterior of the property.

Because ants leave pheromone trails that guide other ants to food sources, activity can increase rapidly once the trail is established. Professional treatment is often required to eliminate the colony and prevent recurring infestations.

Why Ants Enter Homes

Ants typically enter homes and buildings while searching for food, water, or shelter. Even the smallest crumbs, food residue, or moisture sources can attract foraging ants.

Common attractants include:

• Food crumbs and spills
• Dirty dishes or food residue in sinks
• Pet food left out overnight
• Trash containers or recycling bins
• Moisture around sinks, pipes, or appliances

Once ants discover a reliable food source, they send signals back to the colony, causing more ants to follow the same trail.

Where Ant Colonies Hide

Ant colonies can exist both inside and outside structures, often in places that are difficult to detect.

Common nesting areas include:

• Inside wall voids
• Under concrete slabs or foundations
• Beneath landscaping or mulch beds
• Around exterior foundations
• Inside insulation or structural voids

Because colonies can be hidden deep within structures, simply spraying visible ants rarely solves the underlying problem.

Our Ant Control Process

Peace Pest Consultants uses a targeted approach designed to eliminate ant infestations at the source.

Our ant control program may include:

• Detailed inspection to locate entry points and nesting areas
• Identification of ant species and colony behavior
• Strategic baiting and treatment of active colonies
• Exterior perimeter treatments to prevent reinfestation
• Recommendations to reduce food and moisture attractants

This approach helps eliminate the colony while preventing ants from returning.
