It's Not a Good Time to Procrastinate!
At the first sign of ants in your home, contact Ernie's Pest Control
and ask for an inspection. Ant problems are annoying, embarrassing, and costly in repairs. Hidden costs include doctor and grocery bills because no one wants to eat any food that ants may have touched.
A possible ant problem is no time for procrastination. Ants colonize quickly, so you can go from a couple of ants in your kitchen to a full-blown infestation in a matter of months!

- When cleaning, check under carpet edges and baseboards
- Do not have dirty dishes piled up and sitting for long periods of time
