Why Ackerman homes get ants

The sandy loam and alluvial silt that surrounds Ackerman is the starting point. It retains moisture at the foundation line, which is what ants need to thrive. The the Delta, Coastal Plain, and pine forests adds harborage, and the humid subtropical climate keeps the activity going through most of the year. Homes on slab foundations, with crawl spaces, or near the the Mississippi River, the Gulf, and lakes see the heaviest pressure. The older neighborhoods and the newer subdivisions each bring their own pest profile.

Prevention tips for Ackerman homeowners

• Wipe up crumbs and spills immediately.
• Store food in sealed containers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much does ant control cost in Ackerman?

Baiting runs $120 to $280 in Ackerman, with a perimeter barrier from $100 to $220. Carpenter ant work runs higher because it involves finding and treating the nest.

Q: Why do ants keep coming back?

Ants follow scent trails, and the colony keeps sending workers until the trail and the food source are gone. The bait removes the colony, not just the ants you see.

Q: Are the baits safe for pets?

The bait is placed in the areas the ants travel and out of reach of pets, per the label. We point out the placements during the service.

Q: How long does the bait take to work?

The bait works over one to two weeks as the workers carry it back to the colony and it spreads. The visible trails thin out as the colony declines.

Q: Do you treat fire ants in the yard too?

Yes. Fire ant mounds are treated directly in the yard, and the treatment is timed to the mound activity in Choctaw.
