Ants: The Spring House Guest No One Wants, But Nearly Everyone Gets Monday, April 12, 2010 
Springtime is ant time as ants march into homes in search of food. With more than 700 species of ants in the U.S. and about two dozen classified as pests, many homeowners will likely encounter these unwelcome visitors.

“Ants are more than a nuisance. They can contaminate food, bite when threatened and damage our property,” noted Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for the National Pest Management Association. “However, which species of ant invades can depend on geography.”

Here are some species homeowners should lookout for this spring:

Odorous house ants get their name from the strong, rotten coconut-like smell they give off when crushed. Odorous house ants like sweets and are found in exposed soil and wall cracks in every region of the U.S.

Carpenter ants typically tunnel into soft wood to build their nests and need a constant water source to survive. This species is found across the U.S. and can cause significant property damage.

1. Pest control pros use pesticides that last months as opposed to pesticides bought in stores that have residual effects lasting hours/days.

2.
Pest control pros have the knowledge plus years and years of experience in identifying pests - and have a variety of pesticides available to handle multiple/specific pest issues safely

3. The pesticides used by professional pest control companies are regulated for consumer protection. We know the safe, but effective amount of pesticide to use.

4. Pest control companies must be licensed in Iowa.

5. Professionals know the safest way to treat the problem. Bees and wasps can be dangerous if they’re not handled properly. 

6. Professionals can identify problems quickly. Termites and carpenter ants can cause hundreds/thousands of $dollars$ in damage if not treated in a timely manner with effective PROFESSIONAL pesticides.

7.  The pros will offer additional services in between your regular service at NO additional cost if a problem reoccurs.

8.  Pros are trained to apply pesticides in the most effective & least invasive treatments designed with your children & pets in mind.
