Frequently asked questions (FAQS)

What types of ants are common in Marion, Ohio?

Marion homes commonly deal with: pavement ants, carpenter ants, pharaoh ants, little black ants, and odorous house ants. Each species requires different treatment approaches. Our technicians identify the specific ant species to apply the most effective control method.

How do ants get into Marion homes?

Ants enter homes through: tiny cracks in foundations, gaps around windows and doors, utility line entry points, and following scent trails left by scout ants. They're attracted to food sources, moisture, and shelter, especially during Ohio's seasonal weather changes.

Can I use over-the-counter ant sprays?

Over-the-counter sprays only kill visible ants and can make infestations worse by causing colonies to split. Professional treatments target the entire colony, including the queen, for complete elimination. DIY treatments often fail because they don't address the root cause.

Why do I keep seeing ants after treatment?

It's normal to see ants for 1-2 weeks after treatment as they come into contact with baits and treatments. Worker ants will carry the treatment back to the colony, eliminating the entire nest. Complete control typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on colony size.

How long does professional ant treatment last?

Professional ant treatments typically provide 3-6 months of protection, depending on ant species and environmental factors. We recommend quarterly treatments to maintain ant-free homes, especially during peak activity seasons in spring and summer.
