There are several different types of ants in the Chico area. Common ants in Chico are listed below.
Ants can enter your home through openings in doors and windows, cracks in woodwork, or gaps in your home’s exterior. Ants are attracted to areas where there are water and food – especially sugary foods, pet foods, and bread products. This is why so many types of ants are typically found in kitchen areas.
The cost to eliminate ants can vary according to the size of the infestation. The average cost for ant extermination in the Chico area is between $150 and $300 for a one-time visit. Most companies also offer annual contracts costing between $300 and $700.
When you have one ant, you will eventually have others, so the size of the infestation can grow quickly. If ants were drawn to an area where there was food left out or spills were left on counters or floors, cleaning up the mess may cause them to leave the immediate area, but this is often temporary. Ants will not usually disappear on their own once they are in your home.
There are several types of treatment options to eliminate ants, and depending on the size of the infestation, the species of the ants involved, and the areas affected, our pest control professionals may use liquid sprays, granules, foggers, baits, or dusts.
Since ants are small and can enter your home through tight spaces, it is always possible to have a new infestation even if you keep your home spotless. In most cases, the best way to prevent ants from coming into your home is to use a bait system that contains pesticides that the ants will take back to their nests. Our pest control specialists can provide information on the best way to prevent a re-infestation.
Ants are also drawn to water sources, so they can show up in areas with high humidity or moisture that has accumulated. They could also simply be looking for shelter or trying to escape the weather outdoors. This frequently happens during droughts and rainstorms.
In Chico and the surrounding areas in Northern California, changes in the weather can bring changes in the types of pests you may see.
As the seasons change, our partner will monitor your property for any pests that are particularly active in those seasons.
For example, in the spring before new pests emerge, it’s a good time to look for and destroy nests or colonies of some pests, such as wasps and ants. And in late summer, mosquitoes and fleas tend to be more active, so there could be an increased activity with those pests.
As your exterminator makes seasonal visits, they will address any potential new infestations by using the appropriate pesticides or preventative methods to remove infestations and get any new pest problems under control right away.
If you need termite control, rodent control, ant control, bed bug treatment, or any other type of pest control, call us for more information about how our partners can help you have peace of mind knowing your home and business are pest-free.
