Is the summer months approach in New Hampshire, homeowners are hearing up for what can be a frustration and predictable time: ant season. While it may not be as dramatic as a swarm of locus descending upon the Granite State, ants can still cause quite the commotion in backwards and basement alike. That’s why many residents are turning to control experts for help in managing these sky posts. One such expert is John Smith, owner of Smith’s West Control in Manchester.
With over a decade of experience under his belt, Smith has seen it all when it comes to ant indentations. “Ants are some of the most organized creatures out there,” he says with a chuckle. “They’re like little construction workers, building complex colonies and communicating with each other through chemical signals.” And while that level of organization can be impressive in theory, it’s not exactly what homeowners want to deal with when they’re trying to enjoy their summer barbecues or relax on the couch. To how do control experts like Smith keep ants at bay?
For states, it all begins with a thorough inspection. “He need to figure out where the ants are coming from and what’s attracting them,” he explains. “Is it food debris in the kitchen? Moisture issues in the basement? Once we identify the source of the problem, we can start working on a plan to eliminate the colony.” From there, Smith and his team use a combination of baits, sprays, and other treatment methods to ensure that the ants don’t come back. And with their expertise and state-of-the-art equipment, homeowners in New Hampshire can rest assured that they’ll be enjoying their summer without any unwanted ant guests crashing the party.
