Ant Extermination

Technica Ant Solutions

At Technica Pest Solutions, we understand how frustrating an ant infestation can be. These tiny pests may look harmless at first, but once they’ve established a colony in or around your home, they can quickly become a persistent problem.

Whether you’re dealing with carpenter ants, pavement ants, pharaoh ants, or odorous house ants, we provide targeted, effective treatments to eliminate them and prevent future infestations.

Let’s explore how our ant control works, how to spot the signs of a problem, and the steps you can take to reduce risks.

Our Treatment Solutions

We use a two-pronged approach to ant control—designed to eliminate both the ants you see and the hidden colonies behind walls or underground.

Ant Baiting Treatment

At Technica Pest Solutions, our baiting program attacks infestations from the inside out. By targeting the colony at its source, baiting ensures long-term control rather than a quick surface fix.

How It Works

1. Attraction – Worker ants are drawn to sweet or protein-based gel bait.

2. Transport – Workers carry bait back to the colony and share it with the queen.

3. Elimination – The slow-acting insecticide spreads throughout the colony.

4. Colony Collapse – As the queen and workers die, the colony cannot survive.

Baiting doesn’t kill instantly—it’s designed to wipe out the entire colony gradually.

Why Choose Baiting?

• Targets the whole colony, not just surface ants

• Discreet stations with minimal disruption

• Safe placement for families and pets

• Long-lasting solution that prevents regrowth

What to Expect

• Inspection – Technician identifies ant trails and nesting areas

• Placement – Small dots of gel bait applied in targeted spots

• Monitoring – Temporary increase in activity as ants gather bait

• Results – Within 1–2 weeks, activity decreases as the colony collapses

• Follow-Up – Adjustments or reapplication if necessary

No need to vacate your home—bait stations are discreet and non-invasive.

Ant Chemical Spray Solution

Our chemical spray treatment is designed to tackle outdoor infestations and create a protective barrier around your property. It works fast and provides ongoing defense against new colonies.

How It Works

1. Inspection – We check for anthills, trails, and outdoor entry points.

2. Spray Application – Professional-grade treatment applied:

   • On anthills – destroys visible mounds

   • Along exterior – builds a protective barrier

   • Indoors (if needed) – along baseboards and crevices

3. Residual Protection – Treatment continues to kill ants for weeks.

4. Colony Disruption – Breaks up trails and nesting cycles to collapse colonies.

Why Choose Chemical Spray?

• Immediate results with contact kill

• Creates a long-lasting barrier around the home

• Especially effective for outdoor nests and foundations

• Flexible—can be applied indoors or outdoors

• Safe, professional-grade products applied by trained techs

What to Expect

• Preparation – Move furniture 2 feet from walls if interior spray needed

• Exterior Inspection – Locate anthills and entry points

• Application – Outdoors and indoors where activity is seen

• Re-Entry Period – 6 hours to allow safe drying

• Residual Effect – Barrier protection continues for weeks

• Aftercare Advice – We provide prevention tips for lasting results

What Are Ants?

Ants are social insects that live in colonies, often numbering thousands of individuals. Depending on the species, they can cause structural damage, contaminate food, or overwhelm pantries.

• Carpenter Ants – Large black ants that tunnel through wood, damaging structures.

• Pavement Ants – Small brown ants nesting in soil, driveways, and patios. Common kitchen invaders.

• Pharaoh Ants – Tiny yellow ants that split into multiple colonies, making control challenging.

• Odorous House Ants – Small ants that release a foul smell when crushed. Strongly attracted to sweets.

Signs of an Ant Infestation

Watch for these indicators:

• Ant Trails – Steady lines moving between food and the nest

• Nests – Outdoor mounds or carpenter ant tunnels inside walls

• Discarded Wings – Swarmers leaving wings near entry points

• Food Activity – Clusters of ants around sugary or greasy items

• Rustling Sounds – Carpenter ants tunneling in wood inside walls

Early action is crucial—treating infestations early prevents colony expansion.

Prevention Tips

While professional treatment is the most reliable option, you can reduce risks by:

• Sealing Entry Points – Caulk cracks, gaps, and openings around doors and windows

• Eliminating Food Sources – Store food in sealed containers, clean counters, sweep floors

• Removing Moisture – Fix leaks, ventilate basements, bathrooms, and crawl spaces

• Trimming Vegetation – Cut shrubs and branches back from the foundation

• Storing Firewood Properly – Keep stacks 20 feet from the house and off the ground

Baiting vs. Chemical Spray—Which Is Right for You?

Tip: Many infestations benefit from a combination of both methods for maximum results.
