Ants Control By Slug-A-Bug.

Most do-it-yourself approaches only kill the ants you see. To be truly effective,a treatment must penetrate and destroy the unseen nest, which could be in your walls or foundation or outside the home. Most ant infestations start from the exterior - ants can travel up to 300 feet from their nest. Slug-A-Bug has an effective program to take care of your ant problem.

There are more than 12,000 species of ants all over the world.

An ant can lift 20 times its own body weight. If a second grader was as strong as an ant, she would be able to pick up a car!

Some queen ants can live for many years and have millions of babies!

Ants don’t have ears. Ants "hear" by feeling vibrations in the ground through their feet. When ants fight, it is usually to the death!

When foraging, ants leave a pheromone trail so that they know where they’ve been.

Queen ants have wings, which they shed when they start a new nest.

Ants don’t have lungs. Oxygen enters through tiny holes all over the body and carbon

dioxide leaves through the same holes.

When the queen of the colony dies, the colony can only survive a few months. Queens

are rarely replaced and the workers are not able to reproduce.

There are three kinds of ants in a colony: The queen, the female workers, and males.

The queen and the males have wings, while the workers don’t have wings. The queen

is the only ant that can lay eggs. The male ant’s job is to mate with future queen

ants and they do not live very long afterwards. Once the queen grows to adulthood,

she spends the rest of her life laying eggs! Depending on the species, a colony may

have one queen or many queens.

Ant colonies also have soldier ants that protect the queen, defend the colony, gather

or kill food, and attack enemy colonies in search for food and nesting space. If

they defeat another ant colony, they take away eggs of the defeated ant colony. When the eggs hatch, the new ants become the "slave" ants for the colony. Some jobs of the colony include taking care of the eggs and babies, gathering food for the colony and building the anthills or mounds.Ants infestations can be difficult to handle because the majority of the time, you are dealing with a large colony. We find the location of the colony and use commercial strength materials of non-repellent product to eliminate the entire nest instead of just individual members. The ants continue to forage and not realize they've been in contact with the product and take it back to the colony with them. This is the best way to get rid of ants because it ensures that the colony will not return. Call Slug-A-Bug now for your free Estimate
