Ants

Although not typically harmful, ants can be very annoying if left untreated. It is possible that a large infestation can destroy structures, spread bacteria and, cause serious allergic reactions. That’s why it’s best to call in a Pest Control Specialist to rid your home or property of them quickly. Carpenter ants are capable of causing serious damage to the structure of your home. Unlike termites that eat wood, these are more interested in building nests and so they systematically tunnel through wooden beams and pillars to create space for nests.


They need moisture to live so if there’s high humidity in your house, ants will be attracted to it even if there’s no food around. As well as keeping water and moisture away, keeping things clean and free from food supply is also very helpful in managing indoor ants. Finding the nest is critical because they are social insects and will bring any poison back to the nest. Often you might kill large numbers of ants without ever solving the problem if you haven’t found the nest. These insects will come out in the spring and in the fall and find their way into homes. In the spring they emerge early and have to find a place that is warm at night and has food.

What You Need to Know About Ants

  • What is living under my shed?
    Look for signs of digging around the bottom of your shed (or gazebo, deck, sunroom, garage) and listen for sounds. Raccoons often make a den to have their babies under structures like this. Baby raccoons make chirping sounds. Notice any scents? It could also be a skunk or family of skunks as this is also very common in the Springtime.
  • Can I live trap?
    We do not live trap during baby season as removing the mother animal means the babies will not survive without her. It is not advisable or legal for you to live trap and move an animal.
  • Should I block the entry point?
    If you block an entry point and the animal has babies inside she will cause more damage making more entry points to get to her litter. Calling a wildlife removal specialist who can inspect and properly treat the issue is advisable.
  • What are these holes in my garden?
    Finding holes, tunnels and paths in your yard and garden likely means you have mice, rats or other rodents living there.
  • What’s that noise in my bathroom vent?
    If you’re hearing noises or smelling something foul from your vent birds have likely gotten in and made a nest. A wildlife professional can remove this and install a new animal proof vent.
  • Why do I see wasps but no nest?
    Wasps or hornets can make their nest inside your roof where you can’t see it – but you are seeing lots of wasps buzzing around! Having the nest sprayed will take care of it for you.
  • What’s that scratching sound?
    Where are you hearing it? In your ceiling/attic? It could be squirrels, raccoons, mice or rats.
  • Should I cut down my tree to stop animals from getting on my roof?
    A lot of people do this but raccoons and squirrels can climb right up the side of your house so cutting down your nice tree will not solve the problem.
  • How can we keep rodents out of our yard?
    Remove all food sources such as pet food, bird seed and composters. You can also purchase scented deterrents and noisemakers at most hardware stores.
  • Who do I call for a stray domestic animal?
    You would call your local kennel, animal rescue or city hall for advice.
  • Should I call 911 for raccoon sightings?
    You should never call 911 unless it is an emergency.
  • Who should I call for injured or orphaned wildlife?
    You should call a local animal rehabilitation centre or search for one at http://www.ontariowildliferescue.ca/
