The most common ant in Ontario homes, pavement ants nest under sidewalks, driveways, and foundations and readily move indoors in search of food. XtermaPro eliminates colonies at the source.
Pavement ants are small (2.5–3mm), dark brown to black ants that build their nests under pavement slabs, concrete, stones, and building foundations. You'll often see small mounds of excavated soil pushed up through cracks in your driveway or patio. Indoors, they trail along walls and counters looking for greasy and sweet foods.
Common signs of pavement ants:
Pavement ants are not a direct health threat, but they contaminate food sources and are difficult to eliminate without professional treatment. Large colonies can number in the thousands, and without targeting the queen, DIY sprays only temporarily suppress the visible population.
We apply targeted gel baits and perimeter treatments that foraging workers carry back to the colony, eliminating queens and workers at the nest. Interior crack and crevice treatments eliminate trails and entry points. Exterior foundation treatment prevents re-entry.
