Your Questions, Answered!

We know you probably have a few questions about ants and how we handle them. Here are some of the most common ones we hear:

What Signs Tell Me I Have an Ant Infestation? 

The most obvious sign is seeing live ants indoors, especially if they're congregating around food or water sources. You might also spot ant trails – those little highways leading to hidden spots. Sometimes, you'll even notice tiny piles of what looks like fine dirt near baseboards or windows; those are often signs of an ant nest nearby. If you suspect anything, it's best to reach out quickly to prevent a small problem from becoming a big headache!

For carpenter ants, you might hear faint rustling sounds inside your walls or notice hollow-sounding sections in wooden structures. It's a good idea to regularly check areas like your kitchen, basement, and any damp spots, as ants love these environments. Catching an infestation early can really help minimize potential damage to your home and keep your family healthier.

How Do These Little Guys Get Into My Home? 

Ants are tiny experts at finding their way in! They typically enter through small cracks and crevices in your foundation, around windows, or under doors, usually on a mission for food or water. They're especially drawn to uncovered food, spilled liquids, and open trash bins. Keeping your windows and doors properly sealed and maintaining a tidy kitchen can significantly reduce their invitation.

Beyond sealing entry points, a tidy garden helps a lot too. Outdoor vegetation can provide easy pathways for ants to get closer to your home. Regular inspection and maintenance of your vegetable patches, flower beds, and general yard debris can deter ant habitats and reduce the chances of them migrating indoors.

Are Your Ant Control Methods Safe for My Furry Friends and Kids? 

Absolutely, yes! At Jay Taylor Exterminating, safety is truly our top priority. We use environmentally friendly products that are safe for both your beloved pets and little ones. Our team is thoroughly trained to apply treatments in a way that minimizes exposure while still delivering effective results and maintaining a safe home environment for everyone.

We completely understand the serious concerns parents and pet owners have. Our technicians receive continuous advanced training in applying eco-friendly solutions, ensuring every treatment is performed with the utmost care and protective measures for your loved ones.

What Happens During an Ant Control Service? 

When our technician arrives, they'll perform a thorough inspection of your property to identify the type of ant and find the source of the infestation. Based on what they find, they'll put together a tailored plan using solutions that are both safe and effective. We'll then schedule any necessary follow-up visits to ensure ongoing protection and address any lingering issues.

We really believe in working together with our clients. Our experts will also give you personalized advice on specific steps you can take around your home to support the treatment's success. This might include maintenance tips or small lifestyle adjustments tailored to your home's unique situation, all designed to maximize the long-term effectiveness of our ant control solutions.

Do You Offer Ways to Stop Ants Before They Start? 

Yes, we absolutely do! In addition to handling current infestations, we offer excellent preventative services. This includes regular inspections and treatments designed to stop ant problems before they even begin. These proactive measures involve sealing potential entry points and providing ongoing maintenance to help keep your home ant-free year-round.
