Ants In Your Mayport Kitchen? Here's What You Need To Know

Ants are some of the most common pests in Mayport kitchens. They're social insects, so they live in groups and provide necessities for each other. The ants that enter homes are looking for food and water for their colonies, while others reproduce in your yard. They can enter through tiny entry points in your exterior, making them difficult to keep out.

Multiple species of ants invade Mayport homes. Most are only nuisances, contaminating food, but don't threaten properties or the health of residents. However, others can spread illnesses or damage wood. The tiny sizes of these creatures make them hard to identify, so it's best to keep them all out of your house. Some tips to prevent ant infestations in Mayport include:

• Fix moisture issues.
• Clean up crumbs and spills.
• Store food in covered containers.
• Dispose of garbage regularly.
• Keep wood away from your house.

At Wildlife and Pest Control Experts, the first step in our ant removal process is to inspect your home to discover the insects, attractants, and entry points. We offer various treatment options, including baiting, spraying, dusting, fogging, and traps. We customize our services for your home and will eliminate those in the nest to prevent future infestations.

In addition to customizing our ant control treatments, we'll set up a recurring schedule that meets your needs. We can return weekly, monthly, or quarterly to keep ants away. Let us know if you need to eliminate ants in your Mayport home.

Don't Leave Your Mayport Home At Risk For Termite Infestation

Mayport and other Jacksonville Beach communities provide homes for termites. These insects live in the soil of yards and build tunnels to reach houses. They can fit through tiny entry points and drill through wood, so you usually won't see the termites that infest your home. In the meantime, they'll slowly eat the wood in your house, potentially causing structural damage over time.

It's common knowledge that termites eat wood, but other factors can attract them to homes. Since they feed on cellulose and require water to survive, other aspects of your house might attract them. Eliminating these attractants is the best way to keep termites outside. Some tips to prevent termite infestations in Mayport include:

• Divert water away from your house.
• Repair water leaks.
• Ventilate crawl spaces, attics, and basements.
• Seal potential entry points.
• Keep wood away from your foundation.

When a technician from Wildlife and Pest Control Experts arrives at your home, they'll inspect your property for signs of an infestation. We use bait stations to prevent intrusions, with the number of them riding on the size of your property. Our termite control services include a one-year warranty, so we'll return if we don't end your infestation.
