In Texas we encounter many different types of ants on a daily basis.  These ants can be a detriment to our safety in the case of fire ants, sanitation in the case of Sugar Ants or Pharaoh Ants and our sanity with regard to Crazy ants.  At Modern we have a five step process that can and will effectively eliminate the ants from your home or business. 

1. Inspect the property thoroughly.  Remember, just because you see the ants in the kitchen, does not mean that is only place they are located.
2. Once the location of the colony is located, determine any physical means that may be taken to help reduce the any problem.  For instance, moving the trash cans outside, or washing them.
3. Determine what type of product should be used to treat the ants.  Some gel baits work great inside, and some liquid products work better outside. 
4. Treatment.  Treating ants must include as many facets as possible.  For example, if the ants are inside, but coming from the outside every effort possible must be made to treat them on both the inside and outside.
5. Communication and follow-up.  As the consumer we need you to tell us if the treatment worked or did not work.  If we need to come back, in most cases we will! 

Lastly,  When any professional pest company treats ants at your home, DO NOT TREAT OVER THEIR WORK WITH RAID, or any other over the counter products.  This WILL have an adverse effect on the treatment and render it useless and ineffective.
