Why hire a professional ant exterminator in Utah County, UT

Attempting DIY ant control is common, but over-the-counter treatments and baits are often ineffective and can even worsen the problem by driving ants deeper into your property or splitting colonies into multiple infestations.

Choosing professional ant exterminators in Utah County, UT, offers several key benefits:

  1. Saving Money in the Long Run: DIY treatments can result in recurring infestations and property damage. Professional services may have a higher upfront cost, but they eliminate the problem at its source, saving you from ongoing expenses and costly repairs.
  2. Specialized Tools and Treatments: Professionals use advanced tools and treatment materials to target specific ant species and infestations. This means your treatments are more precise, efficient, and long-lasting.
  3. Safer Treatments: DIY ant control products can be dangerous when mishandled. Professionals are trained to use human-safe, pet-safe, and environmentally friendly baits, traps, and treatment materials to target ants without putting your household or property at risk.

At Thorn Pest Solutions Utah County, we deliver high-quality, thorough, and long-lasting solutions for every pest service we provide. Here’s how Thorn eliminates ants from your property and stops them from coming back:

1. Identification

Correctly identifying the type of ant on your property is the first step in our control process. Every species has unique biology, behaviors, and habits that our team and on-staff entomologists carefully analyze to ensure effective treatment.

Common ants that can invade your property:

  • Pavement Ants: Pavement ants are small, dark brown, or black ants that create dirt mounds along sidewalks or between pavement cracks. They are frequently spotted foraging for crumbs and food scraps near outdoor seating or patios.
  • Odorous House Ants: Odorous house ants are tiny, dark brown, or black ants that form trails along countertops, cupboards, and food areas in search of sugar-rich meals. When crushed, they release a distinctive, rotten, coconut-like odor.
  • Carpenter Ants: Carpenter ants are larger than most species and are typically black or red-and-black in color. They are nocturnal workers, digging tunnels through wooden materials such as beams, walls, and furniture, leaving sawdust-like debris behind.
  • Argentine Ants: Argentine ants are medium-sized, shiny brown ants known for their aggressive behavior and massive colonies. In Utah County, they are commonly found invading food storage areas or moist environments like kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.
2. Treatment

At Thorn, we customize our treatments to fit your needs. A few things we consider when building your pest control plan are:

  • Type of Ant Infestation: Understanding the ant species invading your property allows us to use the correct tools, techniques, and strategies. We consider factors such as the typical colony size, number of queens, nesting habits, and food preferences to target the infestation effectively.
  • Property Size and Layout: The size and complexity of your property impact how we place traps, attractants, and distribute treatment materials. We carefully assess your space to ensure all nests, trails, and potential entry points are addressed, leaving no spots for ants to hide.
  • Environmental Conditions & Property Location: Moisture levels, local weather patterns, and your property’s location influence the type of ant species likely to invade your home. Our team considers these factors to identify which species are present, why they’re attracted to your property, and how to treat them.
3. Prevention

  • Exclusion Services: We offer exclusion services for home and business owners in Utah County. Our pest experts identify and seal potential entry points, such as cracks, gaps, and crevices, using techniques like caulking, weather stripping, and installing pest-resistant barriers.
