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. Given Cavendish's moisture conditions, we pay special attention to drainage and humidity control.

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.
Why do Cavendish homes have more ants problems?
Cavendish's proximity to water creates humidity that ants thrive in. We address both the immediate infestation and the underlying moisture conditions that attract these pests.
