GHOST ANT CONTROL TREATMENTS
We control Ghost Ants through a combination of spraying and baits.
Our Ghost Ant Service involves spraying the tops of palm trees and all the plants/bushes around your house. We treat any rotted spots in trees. A barrier is established around your home.
Baits may also be utilized inside your home because sometimes Ghost Ants can access homes through plumbing and electrical service which can bypass the barrier around your home.
