Skip to content Ant infestation is one of the main pest-related problems in the Hamilton, Halton, Niagara, Haldimand and Brantford Area. Ants are social pests, typically live in underground colonies. They invade our homes and feed on all types of food, especially sweets, or even chew through wood and other structural components of your home.
If you suspect any signs of an ant infestation in your residential or commercial property, call Avid Pest Control. We identify the exact species of ant and offer ant extermination services.
There are over ten species of ants in Ontario regions such as Hamilton, Brantford, Niagara, Burlington and Oakville, including the famous carpenter ants. Depending on their species, ant nests can be found beneath pavement, driveways, covered soil, the foundation of logs, roofs, insides of walls, and other hard to detect areas.
Carpenter ants vary in size-colour and typically grow up to 13 mm in size. Carpenter ants are divided into castes, each with a distinct function inside their colony (queens, workers, males). The biggest ants in size are queens, and their job is to start new colonies and lay eggs. Regardless of their size and caste, they can invade your home and cause some serious damage.
Carpenter ant extermination services are required immediately to stop them from making a new empire on your property.
Pavement ants are small ants about 2.5 to 4mm in size and light brown to black in colour. Pavement ants like to build their nests outside, under sidewalks and driveways, and between walls. They can easily get into homes and buildings through small cracks, around doors and windows, and beneath sliding doors.
If you have noticed pavement ants on your property, it might be time to contact a professional ant exterminator.
Pharaoh ants are very small in size, about 2mm long and vary in colour from yellowish-brown to light red. These ants can build nests in well-protected and hidden areas such as walls, cabinet voids, behind baseboards, the hollows of curtain rods, the folds of clothes, and also build nests outdoors in lawns or gardens in warm weather.
If you suspect a pharaoh ants infestation in your home, it is often advisable to take a professional ant exterminator’s help.
Our job as an expert ant exterminator is to properly identify ant infestation and remove ants from your property accordingly. Typically we use a variety of strategically placed baits and insecticides to promptly exterminate ant problems, regardless of how big or small.
