Vancouver Ant Control Gets The Job Done

Protecting Your Home Against Ant Infestations

Trails of tiny insects in your kitchen, bathroom, or around windows? You may have an ant infestation. Several ant species such as carpenter ants, odorous house ants, and pavement ants frequently invade Vancouver homes, making this a common issue. Spotting a few individual ants may not seem problematic but these small intruders can quickly multiply, creating large colonies that lead to extensive damage. At Solutions Pest Control, we specialize in Vancouver ant control with effective and reliable solutions to protect your home from ant infestations.

What Are the Signs of an Ant Infestation In My House? 

Don’t let a minor issue turn into a costly problem. Learn to recognize the early signs of an Ant infestation, including:

  1. Visible Ant Trails

    Ants frequently travel in lines to and from their nests, particularly when searching for food. If you spot a steady line of ants, they are likely forming a trail for others to follow—a good indicator of a developing problem.

  2. Piles of Wood Shavings
    A common ant species in Vancouver is the carpenter ant, which burrows into wood leaving behind tiny piles of wood shavings. These may be noticed near baseboards and windowsills, or in attics. This is a warning sign of a carpenter ant infestation.
  3. Rustling Sounds
    Although ants are tiny, you may be able to hear them in quieter parts of your home. Carpenter ants, in particular, make a rustling sound that some may confuse with mice in the walls.

What Problems Can Start from An Ant Infestation?

Certain species of ants may cause significant property damage or pose health risks. Some of the problems related to ant infestations include:

·       Food Contamination

Ants are drawn to food sources, especially sugary foods. Moving from one surface to another, they may cause contamination by transferring bacteria to your utensils, countertops, and food.

·       Allergic Reactions and Skin Irritation

Although native ants are generally harmless, invasive species like the European Fire Ant can be harmful, with bites or stings that cause intense pain and other reactions.

Can Carpenter Ants Cause Structural Damage To My House? 

Yes, Carpenter ants could cause damage by chewing through wood to build their nests. In time, the tunnels that ant carpenters create can lead to weakening  of wooden structures, compromising walls, floors, and foundations. It is important to address this situation before it reaches this point.

Are Fire Ants in Vancouver? 

According to BC Goverment Source As the name implies, European Fire Ants are native to Europe. Since 2010, this species has been observed in various locations throughout British Columbia, including the lower mainland, Fraser Valley, and Vancouver Island. This species was also discovered in the Naramata area of the Okanagan Valley.

What do Fire Ants Look Like?

Fire Ants are reddish brown in colour and contain 2 segments in the body structure. BC native ants just contain 1 segment.

Do Fire Ants Sting?

Yes, fire ants have a painful sting when disturbed and fearful.

This is the best pest control company I have ever dealt with. They have vast knowledge about “critters”, solid investigative techniques, and proven interventions. They are approachable, flexible, and easy to deal with. I live in a heavily wooded area, with lots of creatures. They have resolved some very challenging issues with pests that I have not been able to address on my own, resulting in me and my tenants being able to once again live without stress, fear, and disgust at seeing unwelcome guests in our home. I am extremely grateful!

I phoned for wasps nest removal and they were there in less than 2 hours. The problem wasn’t actually a nest so they dusted the area to stop wasps returning this season. They only charged half of the quote – unheard of nowadays. A COMPANY WITH HIGH MORAL STANDARDS!!! I was impressed with the office lady and with the technician -both pleasant and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
