Ants
Ants play a crucial role in our environment, upturning soil and allowing water to reach the roots of plants, they also eat organic material and produce extra nourishment for plants. As essential as they are in our environment, they are not necessary for our house, in fact, ants in your household can be a problem. Ants leave a trail of harmful bacteria and germs ranging from E.coli to salmonella, causing contamination of your food and possibly making people ill due to this cross-contamination. To reduce the likelihood of ant infestations within the household, sweet foods should be stored in sealed containers, protein products must also be stored away, and any excess water from benches and sinks should be wiped to avoid providing incentives for ants to start a foraging trail.
Once all this has been ensured, and an ant issue persists, Mitchell can come out and spot treat accordingly depending on the intensity of your concern.
