How do you eliminate ant colonies hidden inside walls?

Eliminating ant colonies inside of your walls calls for a deliberate and targeted approach. First, we identify the specific ant species, which will clarify their habits and nesting behavior. Then, we use baiting systems designed to attract worker ants, which carry the bait back to the colony to share with others, including the queen. This method addresses infestation at the source rather than just treating surface-level ants. We also locate and seal entry points, such as tiny cracks or gaps, to prevent future infestations. Our ant control techniques address the entire colony rather than settling for temporary fixes.

What are the signs of a cockroach infestation?

Signs of a cockroach infestation include spotting live or dead cockroaches, particularly in dark or damp areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. You may also notice small black droppings, egg cases, or shed skins near hiding spots, such as behind appliances or under sinks. A distinct, musty odor can sometimes accompany a severe infestation. Smudge marks or trails on your walls and surfaces may also indicate their presence. Since cockroaches thrive out of sight, these signs often reveal a hidden, growing problem.
