Ant Control

Ants can be a major problem. Ants can enter through even the tiniest cracks seeking sweet or greasy substances in the kitchen pantry or storeroom areas. Ants leave an invisible chemical trail known as pheromones for others to follow once they locate the food source.

Ants can nest about anywhere in and around your house, including in lawns, walls, stumps, even under foundations. Ant colonies can number from 300,000 to 500,000 and whole colonies can uproot and relocate quickly when threatened. With experts on the job like Berrett Pest Control, ants won't have a chance to relocate.

With comparative freedom from natural enemies, a colony can live a relatively long lifetime. Worker ants may live seven years and the queen may live as long as 15 years.

One common ant pest in North Texas is the fire ant.
