Ants
Ants are persistent invaders commonly found in Centerburg homes, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. They travel in long trails and can be difficult to eliminate without targeting the colony. Home Guard IPM uses baiting and barrier treatments tailored to each species to stop ants at the source. Our experienced technicians begin with a thorough inspection to locate activity zones, entry points, and environmental factors that may be contributing to the infestation.
We educate homeowners on prevention, provide ongoing monitoring if needed, and offer tailored advice based on each pest's habits. Whether it's a seasonal invader or a year-round threat, we apply proven, environmentally-conscious methods to protect your home and family.
