What To Do

Sighting the occasional ant is normal. If you are noticing increased activity inside it is better to be safe than sorry, as some ant species can cause damage to your home.  Noticing a single ant could be revealing a scout that reports back to its family when leftover food on the floor, sink, or other areas is discovered.  This food remnant  will be just the invitation necessary to send the signal for the exterior colony to send in drones to set up an interior support colony.   Typically the majority of all inside and/or outside ant colony activity is under the control of one single queen outside, whether they have set up an interior colony or not.   The technicians at Sleeptite are thoroughly educated on the best techniques to locate, effectively treat, and rapidly eliminate all ant activity inside your home and around the immediate perimeter outside.  Let us bring our expertise to your aid.
