Early spring is the time when people like to start to return to the outdoors.  They have been closed up all winter and have the need to get out.  We open the windows and doors in our home and let in that fresh spring air.  Well insects are no different, they want to enjoy the spring weather as well, and unfortunately this is bad news for you.

Carpenter Ants nesting in the outdoors will soon start to wake up at this time. Emerging from nesting sites in the base of trees or RR Tie walls they will be in search for high energy food to get their colony moving.  They will trail and search up to 300 feet from their nests to locate this food, most of the time they find their way across your lawn, up your foundation and right into your house. You will see them trailing in hall ways, bathrooms and kitchen areas looking for this food.  This is the time of year when prevention is the key to control. Call All County Pest Control to find out about your treatment options, Interior and exterior inspection and treatment is very important at this time. Exterior perimeter applications to trailing areas and nesting sites can greatly reduce populations.

Exterior perimeter applications are the best prevention for all sorts of household pests.  These applications reduce populations and cut down harborage in areas that are close to your home, such as gardens and mulch beds and underneath the siding at your foundation. These treatments will control ants, spiders, crickets, sow bugs, millipedes, centipedes and many other crawling pests.
