No one wants to find out that there are a bunch of ants on their commercial property. These can be a hassle to remove and there is the potential that they can bite and carry disease to you, your employees, and some of your customers. The moment you notice there are some ants around the property, it is time to get serious about finding pest control to remove them before an infestation occurs.

The good news is that there are a few steps that you can take to make sure your commercial property is protected against these Argentine ants. Like most pests, they will be attracted to moisture and food. To make sure that they can’t take over, the first step is to eliminate any standing water that may be near the property. This means the baby pools, grill covers, birdbaths, flowerpots and anything else that may be standing around and can hold onto water. You should also clean up any spills of food right away and keep the food stored in airtight containers so that ants can’t find it.

You can also do some work outside of your property as well. These ants like to find their way into homes through open windows and doors as well as through some cracks and small openings around the foundation of the home. You should do a walk around the house to look for some of these issues and then get them fixed up as soon as possible. Trim any trees or bushes that touch the home and keep building materials and firewood a minimum of 20 feet form the house all the time.

Remember that these ants can be resilient and will often bounce-back after you eliminate them because they can reproduce very quickly. This is why you may not be able to keep up with them all on your own. Hiring a pest control company to take over some of the issues with these ants as soon as possible can make a world of difference and ensures they stay away.
