Ant Control & Extermination New York City
Ever wondered how such tiny creatures can cause such big headaches? Every year, ants are responsible for over $5 billion in damages across the U.S., making them the top pest issue according to the National Pest Management Association (NPMA).
It’s hard to believe when you see them, but these small invaders can turn your kitchen into a food-free-for-all overnight.
Whether they’re black, red, or any shade in between, ants are adaptable and will set up camp just about anywhere.
They thrive on teamwork, which makes their colonies resilient and, unfortunately, tough to eliminate.
Got an ant problem? That’s where Private Exterminator comes in.
As a licensed, eco-friendly pest control service operating throughout NYC, we specialise in ant control that’s as effective as it is safe.
With over 12 years of experience, our team tailors ant control solutions specifically for your situation. We ensure your property is ant-free and stays that way.
From Brooklyn to Staten Island, we offer free estimates, 24/7 emergency services, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Your satisfaction is our priority.
You might be tempted to try some DIY tricks, but let’s be honest, ant infestations can get out of hand fast.
Spraying ants or setting up a couple of traps might keep them at bay for a bit, but those pests are persistent.
What you don’t see is the colony working behind the scenes. That’s where our professional services come in.
At Private Exterminator, we start with a thorough inspection. We don’t just treat the problem on the surface; we find the root of the infestation and wipe ants out for good.
Our trained technicians know how to track down the source of the colony, ensuring we eliminate the issue from the ground up.
We also prioritize eco-friendly ant treatment. Keeping your family and the environment safe is at the core of what we do, so we use products that are tough on pests but gentle on your home. You won’t have to worry about harmful chemicals lingering in your living spaces.
Finally, we focus on long-term results. Our treatments aren’t quick fixes that just last a few days. We ensure that once the ants are gone, they stay gone.
With our comprehensive approach, you can rest easy knowing your ant problem has been properly taken care of.
How to Prevent Future Ant Infestations
Once the ants are out, you want to keep them out. Here are some tips straight from the pros to keep your home pest-free:
- Seal Entry Points – Ants can sneak through the smallest cracks. Make sure windows, doors, and any other openings are sealed tight.
- Keep Food Stored Properly – Ants love crumbs. Clean up after meals and store food in airtight containers to keep them from coming back for a snack.
- Take Out the Trash – Make sure your trash bins are sealed and emptied regularly. The smell of food can attract ants from miles away.
