Ant Control Sacramento

Ant Control Sacramento

The most common ants in the Sacramento area are the Argentine, Odorous, Pharoah, and Carpenter ant. The Argentine ant is much more common than all of the others. Ant identification is important for control. When are ants usually a problem? Well, usually if there is no pest control services, this could be an annual problem. The worst times are during cold or hot times throughout the year. If it gets too hot, they look for a place that is not so hot ie. like your house. If it gets too cold, they look for a place that is warm. Yes, you guessed it; like your house. During the cold time of the year, they will move under the foundations of homes. When it rains it often floods their nests causing them to look for dry areas like your home once again.

The best answer is to have an affordable yet very efficent ant control service.
