Of all the pests which humans deal with, ants are the most common and when it’s ant season, they get busy fast! It’s estimated that at least 20 quadrillion ants exist across the world. That’s around 2.5 million ants for every person on earth. No wonder we see them so often! And if that’s not enough, once they are inside, their colonies can quickly grow and infest our homes or businesses, leaving us fighting what can seem like a losing battle.

The good news is that Four Seasons is always ready to tackle any ant problem you have. We kill them in the morning, in the evening and at night. We are ready for spring ant prevention, summer ant control, fall ant baiting and winter ant maintenance. You don’t have to fight them when we’re on your side!

When Is Ant Season Anyway?

Because ants thrive well all year, a good ant control program will be year-round. Additionally, it will target months of high activity starting around March or April and extending through September or October. During these months, ants are highly active preparing for winter.

When warmer temperatures arrive, ants respond by beginning to replenish their food supplies and extending their colony. This means you’re likely to see many more ants than in the cooler months.

Of course, in Kentucky, there has been a rise in ant activity in the cooler months for the last 5+ years. Warmer winters give way to warmer days, and this means ants and other insects can continue their activity beyond their normal limitations. What that means for the average person is that you may have ants in the colder months too. Furthermore, many ant species will move indoors for the winter and that can mean trouble. But, a little preventative maintenance can go a long way in reducing and eliminating their numbers.

How Four Seasons Can Help Control and Prevent Infestation When It’s Ant Season

Ants need the same crucial components to survive that you and I must have: food, water and shelter. We have all these inside our homes and businesses. That means ants can find them there as well. Once they do, they leave behind pheromone trails which invite the other ants to follow them to “greener pastures”.

For Seasons has several approaches to reducing, controlling and preventing ants from entering your home:

• Interior/Exterior baiting
• Lawn treatments
• Indoor/outdoor treatments
• Property modification
• Exclusion measures
• Mound baiting
• Mound drenching

Depending on the species, employing some or all these measures may be necessary to achieve optimal results. Once an infestation is under control, routine maintenance needs to follow. This will help reduce future infestations and continue to keep populations in check. In addition, exclusion measures can help prevent indoor infestations.

How To Choose the Right Pest Control Company

Whether you are looking to prevent a problem, solve a problem or maintain a problem that has been solved already, you need a reputable, dependable, and knowledgeable pest control company. How can you find such a company?

• First, look at their website. Do they have loads of information to prove they are knowledgeable?
• Secondly, look at their reviews. Do their reviews reflect that a majority of their customers are satisfied?
• Lastly, give them a call. How quickly do they put you in contact with a knowledgeable salesperson?

We think you’ll find that Four Seasons Pest Solutions will meet each of these things and more. Plus, we’ll be with you for any pest you have.
