Ants Around Massachusetts

Ants in Your Pantry

And Everywhere Else, Inside & Out

(Ants)are a diverse group of more than 12,000 species, with a higher diversity in the tropics. They are known for their highly organized colonies and nests, which sometimes consist of millions of individuals. Individuals are divided into sub-fertile, and more commonly sterile, females ("workers", "soldiers", and other castes), fertile males ("drones"), and fertile females ("queens"). Colonies can occupy and use a wide area of land to support themselves. Ant colonies are sometimes described as superorganisms because the colony appears to operate as a unified entity.

While ants aren't known for harboring diseases, they still create problems because they can bite, sting, infest stored food and damage your home. When you call me for ant control you deal only with me and you can take advantage of my more than 33 years of pest control experience.

You can bet I've seen every type of ant there is in this part of New England and I know how to get them under control and keep them in their place. I offer my customers personal service, because I am the only one that comes to their homes, and I offer advice every step of the way.

With my Quarterly Residential Pest Management Service, my customers have the benefit of my pest expertise all year round.

The best choice for controlling ants and other pests that are bugging you in the North Shore, Essex county and selected North Boston Metro areas, is Dura Tech!

Ant Prevention Tips

What You Can Do Around Your House

Here are a few ant prevention tips, both from the National Pest Management Association and from my first-hand experience with ants:

Eliminate standing water. Pests, such as ants, are attracted to moisture.
Keep tree branches and other plants cut back from the house. Sometimes pests use these branches to get into your home.
Make sure that there are no cracks or little openings around your house. Sometimes pests use these to get into your home.
Make sure that firewood and building materials are not stored next to your home. Pests like to build nests in stacks of wood.
Reduce the overall amount and volume of garden mulch you use around your home.
Replace rotted landscape ties.
Repair plumbing and roof leaks as soon as they are discovered and make sure wall and ceiling cavities are thoroughly dry once repairs are completed.
Using crushed stone around the foundation can deter ants and other pests from entering your home.
