Ant Control Warrenton

There are approximately 14,000 different species of ants throughout the world today.  Fortunately, only a small number of species are known to invade homes and buildings.  Even more specifically, Warrenton, VA residents can experience invasions of odorous house ants, pavement ants, and carpenter ants.
 
Odorous house ants, also known as sugar ants, are very small and dark brown or black.  They measure 1/8th of an inch or less and put off a very distinctive and offensive odor when crushed. Pavement ants are just slightly larger than odorous house ants. The pavement ant lives outside but invades the house foraging for food. The telltale sign of pavement ants are the mounds of fine dirt between cracks of concrete and landscaping stones. Carpenter ants are much larger than other ants, sometimes averaging a ½ inch or more. A mature queen ant can reach almost an inch in length. The carpenter ant can become a threat to the structure of buildings by excavating and chewing tunnels through the wooden components of the building.
 
All ants have one common goal: protect and provide for the colony.  In their quest for food, moisture, and shelter, they will not hesitate to invade your home or business. However, they can be difficult to eradicate due to the fact that the majority of the colony is never seen. The only ants visible are the small percentage that actively forages for food. That's why DIY ant control often fails, the over the counter sprays only eliminate the ants that they immediately come into contact with. So the rest of the colony is left to continue reproducing, growing, and thriving. This is where American Pest comes to the rescue. Our technicians are trained to identify the species, locate the colony, and completely eradicate all the ants. Our plan also includes taking steps to prevent future ant infestations.

Warrenton, VA Mouse & Rodent Control

Rodents are mammals that are equipped with two incisors that grow continually. These incisors are only kept short when the rodent gnaws on things continuously.  The more well-known rodents include mice, rats, chipmunks, and squirrels. Of those, mice and rats are the leaders of all rodents with an unusual relationship with humans throughout the Warrenton VA area. It's important to understand that rodent invasions and infestations occur because of their need for food, water, and shelter, especially in the winter. Unfortunately, mice and rats are also known to carry a variety of serious diseases and parasites that threaten the health of people.
