Ants

Ants are one of the most common pests that plague Charlotte, North Carolina area homes and businesses, especially in the spring and summer months. Ants are incredibly social insects who work together as a finely-honed team to locate food and bring it back to their colony. If you see one ant, you can be sure that you’ll see dozens – if not hundreds more – within a matter of hours.

Luckily, Pest Authority of Charlotte is here so that you don’t have to try and fight off ants on your own. Our Barrier 360 treatment is designed to stop ant infestations before they can begin. Barrier 360 is applied around the exterior of your home or business, creating an ant-proof boundary that stops ants from getting inside. Barrier 360 is effective against most types of ants, but fire ants and carpenter ants may require specialized treatment.

But Barrier 360 does so much more than that – with the same simple treatment, your home or business will be protected from 12 other common pests! It’s an affordable, proactive way to keep your home or business in the Charlotte and Concord, North Carolina area safe from pests.

Pest Authority of Charlotte isn’t like other pest control companies.

Ant Prevention Tips:

  • Purchase some stone or gravel and create a border around your home or business’s foundation to discourage ant colonies from building nests near any entry points to your building.
  • After every meal, make sure all crumbs, dirty dishes, and spills are cleaned up and not left out on counters or in sinks.
