FIELD ANT INFORMATION & FACTS

Field ants are one of the larger-sized ants ranging in length from 4 to 8 mm. Their colours are known to be yellow, red, black or a combination of red and black.

They make their nests in lawns, gardens, fields, and parks. These relatively passive ants are sometimes mistaken for fire ants. While they do not sting, field ants will bite when disturbed and some possess the ability to spray formic acid so the bite can be painful. Side effects resulting from a bite are usually mild in nature and typically subside within an hour, but you should consult a medical expert if you feel any lingering symptoms.

Their most common food source is honeydew; a component obtained from insects such as aphids. They will also feed on other insects and meat.

FIELD ANT CONTROL & REMOVAL

Field ants do not usually invade homes. However, homeowners may come across ants hunting for food on decks or porches. For how to exterminate ants outside or how to get rid of an ant infestation inside, contact Environmental Pest Control. Their ant removal methods are backed by years of experience and they will always use the best ant killer for your specific ant infestation.

I want to thank Sarah! She really did a amazing inspection! I had a issue with mice. Sarah cover the inside and outside taking care of holes/gaps above the front and back doors. attics and garage. And has a very caring attitude towards her clients! I have know about Environmental Pest control for many years as they looked after issues with a school board I worked for.

We just had a fall treatment done at our country property. We never hesitate to call this company to protect us from ladybugs, cluster flies and more. You can count on them for punctuality, professionalism and thoroughness. Shout out to Cody who went above and beyond today: on his own accord, he brought our garbage/recycling bins to our garage door from the road and was able to retrieve a helium balloon that had floated up to the top of our cathedral ceiling. We are seniors, so these gestures of kindness were most appreciated. Highly recommend!

I cannot rate this company high enough. I first talked with Thomas on the phone. He was so polite and patient with this 79 year old lady animal advocate. He talked me through everything and I made my choice of the service I desired. I got an appointment the next day. Craig was right on time and he went through everything again and made sure I understood the whole procedure. I feel I got a very fair price for the work done. Do not hesitate to call Environmental Pest Control if you need help with wasps as I did!

I recently had the bait boxes refilled to avoid having mice move into my house as the weather turns colder. Mike and Jake arrived at the appointed time. Both gentlemen were polite, friendly and very professional. When they left, I contacted Kassandra to arrange payment. She was lovely, pleasant and polite, a pleasure to speak with. I have used the services of this company for years and have always been pleased.
