Ants are a common pest in Springfield, Missouri, and can cause significant damage to homes and businesses. Some of the most common types of ants found in the area include carpenter ants, pavement ants, and odorous house ants.

While most species of ants are not harmful to humans, some can cause significant damage to property. Carpenter ants, for example, can tunnel through wood and cause structural damage to buildings. Fire ants can also be dangerous, as their stings can cause an allergic reaction in some people.

To prevent ant infestations, it’s important to keep your home or business clean and free of crumbs and spills. Store food in tightly sealed containers, and seal any cracks or openings that could provide an entry point for ants. Regular cleaning and maintenance can also help prevent ant infestations.

If you suspect an ant infestation in your home or business, it’s important to take action immediately to prevent further damage. Signs of an ant infestation can include trails of ants, small piles of dirt or debris, and damage to wood or other materials.

At Mantis Pest Control, we offer professional and effective ant control services in Springfield and the surrounding areas. Our licensed technicians will conduct a thorough inspection of your property to identify the type of ant present and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific situation.

Why at home ant killer doesn't work

At-home ant killers such as sprays, baits, and powders may seem like a quick and easy solution to ant infestations, but they often fail to eliminate the root of the problem. Ant colonies are complex social structures, and simply killing a few ants will not solve the issue. In fact, some at-home ant killers can make the problem worse by causing ants to scatter and form new colonies. Professional ant control services are necessary to identify the type of ant present and use targeted treatments to eliminate the entire colony, preventing future infestations

Extermination Process

Mantis Pest Control offers professional and effective ant control services to eliminate these pests from your home or business. Our licensed technicians will conduct a thorough inspection to identify the type of ant present and develop a customized treatment plan which includes baits, sprays, and dusts.

Baits are a common method we use to eliminate ants. We use specialized baits that are palatable to ants and contain a slow-acting poison that will kill them over time. Our technicians place the bait in areas where ants are known to frequent, such as near their entry points or in areas where they have been seen.

Sprays are another effective method we use to eliminate ants. We use specialized sprays that target the specific type of ant present and provide long-lasting protection against future infestations. 

Dusts are another method we use to eliminate ants. We use specialized dust that are applied to areas where ants are known to travel, such as along walls and in cracks and crevices. The dust is then carried back to the colony by the ants and eliminates the entire colony.

In addition to these treatments, we also offer ongoing maintenance programs to prevent re-infestation and keep your property ant-free in the long term. We can also provide guidance on how to make your property less attractive to ants, such as keeping your home or business clean and free of crumbs and spills.

Great Quality!

Mantis is great quality at a reasonable prices. I've used them for about a year and my insect issues are non-existent. Scheduling is a breeze and they come when they say they will come. Never been an issue having a technician come out between regular service intervals as well. Derek was super polite, professional and punctual. In addition to him taking care of the wasps nests, he even applied a granular barrier in the event rain washed out the spray application. Overall, a highly satisfied customer!
