Effective ant treatment is a year-round process in Southern California.  With our wonderful climate, ants are always a factor.  To set up the best control possible, our technicians begin by doing an inventory of your plants and trees that provide food for insects that actually draw the ants to your property.

Then, in the winter, we go after these outdoor food sources by spraying a dormant treatment on trees that kills insect eggs, and it is also a fungicide.  Two treatments will greatly eliminate the homopterous (plant-sucking) insect population which provides the “honeydew” for ants.  During the spring, our technicians also spray the entire grounds while new ant colonies are being established.  At the same time, when your plants are not as stressed by heat, we spray plants, shrubs, and small trees to control the insect population.

In addition, to keep ants from entering your home, we use a treatment which is sprayed around the perimeter of your foundations, as well as door frames, window casings, and eaves.  Ants cannot detect this treatment--they walk through this special formula and then carry it back to the nest, where it will eventually kill off the entire colony.  Corky’s technicians will search your entire property for satellite colonies, and use probes and/or granular treatments to destroy them.

Many other pest control companies will try to sell you on monthly service, but we use the best, most effective products on the market.  With our products, once every six weeks will keep your pest situation under control.  Compare our 6-week service price to their monthly price, and you will see the savings!
