How do little black ants get inside:

Little Black ants also known as Sugar Ants are  hard to see at times but don't underestimate the little pests. Little black ants are marching to gain access into the home. One of the favorite places to set up camp are in the walls. It's very common to try over the counter products such as perimeter sprays. It may be effective for a couple of Ants, definitely not for a full blown infestation. Keep in mind that  chances are that infestations can be in more than one area of the home. The ants are able to move the scent highway to a different location. Little Black ants can travel up trees that are near the house. Branches are perfect bridges to enter the house through holes, cracks and crevices.The owner was determined to get this problem taken care of immediately. Therefore an appointment was set up and confirmed with  AMPM Exterminators to ambush the little Black Ant armies.

Reasons for Little Black Ant infestations:

Ants love moisture. Having moisture problems in the home are little black ant magnets. A gigantic hint is to keep the gutters clean. Downspouts should be adjusted to direct water away from the home. Mounds of dirt are havens for ants and should be kept away from the foundation. Very important to check for standing water around the perimeter of the home. Remember the Little Black Ants are constantly on the lookout for water, food and shelter. Seattle is in the Pacific Northwest and ideal spots for the little black ants due to the rainfall. Look for plumbing and structure leaks that need repair. Make it a habit to check the perimeter and interior for holes, cracks and crevices. Sealing and repairs will prevent giving further entry access to the Sugar ants. Shrubs and plants should be kept under control. Tree branches should be kept pruned back at least 10 feet from the roof. When an Ant bait is used it will be carried back to the ant colonies to be shared to kill the colony. It is wise to maintain the perimeter of the structure with a recurring service to prevent new Black Ant infestation. AMPM Exterminators would provide further information regarding weekly, bi-monthly, monthly or quarterly services.
