Our Treatment Approach
Natural-first solutions that actually work
We use botanical pyrethrin spot treatments at entry points combined with diatomaceous earth barriers. Boric acid baits eliminate colonies at the source. Essential oil repellents with peppermint deter re-entry. We seal entry points and address moisture attractants. For Andover's older structures, we inspect foundations and wall voids where pests commonly harbor.

Seal cracks and gaps around foundation

Store food in airtight containers

Clean up crumbs and spills immediately

Fix moisture issues promptly
Frequently Asked Questions
What attracts ants to my home?
Ants seek food, water, and shelter. Sweet or greasy food residues, moisture from leaks or condensation, and easy entry points through cracks all attract ant colonies to establish trails into your home.
Are ants dangerous to my family?
Most household ants are nuisance pests, not dangerous. However, carpenter ants can damage wood structures, and some people experience mild allergic reactions to ant bites. Contamination of food is the primary concern.
Can you treat ants in Andover's historic homes?
Absolutely. We specialize in treating older Andover properties using methods that won't damage historic materials. Our targeted approach eliminates pests while preserving your home's character.
