Complete Ant Control for Central Virginia Homes
Eliminating carpenter ants, fire ants, sugar ants, and all ant colonies at their source
Ant Infestations Require Professional Treatment
Ant colonies contain thousands of members with complex social structures that make DIY treatments ineffective. Different ant species require different approaches - what works for sugar ants won't eliminate carpenter ants. PestNow Central Virginia provides targeted ant control that identifies species, locates colonies, and eliminates entire populations to prevent reinfestation.
Why Professional Ant Control Matters:
Species identification - different ants need different treatment methods
Colony elimination - targeting the source, not just visible workers
Structural protection - preventing carpenter ant damage to wood
Food safety - eliminating contamination from foraging ants
Long-term prevention - sealing entry points and eliminating attractions
Common Ant Problems in Central Virginia
Carpenter Ants
Wood-destroying ants that damage structures
Large black ants that excavate galleries in wood, causing structural damage over time. They're attracted to moisture-damaged wood and can compromise wooden beams, siding, and deck structures.
Fire Ants
Aggressive stinging ants that attack in swarms
Red imported fire ants build large outdoor mounds and deliver painful, burning stings. They're highly aggressive when disturbed and pose serious risks to children, pets, and anyone with allergic reactions.
Sugar & Kitchen Ants
Persistent indoor invaders seeking food
Small ants that invade kitchens, pantries, and dining areas in search of sweet foods and crumbs. They leave scent trails that attract hundreds more ants, contaminating food preparation areas.
Professional Ant Control Solutions
Colony Elimination
Advanced baiting systems that worker ants carry back to the colony, eliminating queens, larvae, and entire populations. This approach ensures long-term control rather than temporary reduction.
