Verona
Ant Control

From the FedEx warehouse to Blaine’s Farm & Fleet, we have plenty of warehouse opportunities in Verona. Each time I pass by one of these mass storage facilities, I wonder if these things are simply innate throughout nature, or if we took our inspiration at some point in time from our ever-present friends – the ants. Our warehouses and how we interact with them shed key insights into effective Verona ant control.

We build warehouses out of necessity. We have efficiencies in production that allow us to gather what is needed to meet demand over time. Ants do the same with their colonies whether out in the dirt, in a wall void, or in the hollow of a deck column. Things stored inside the colony include:

• Food such as fats, carbohydrates, and proteins
• Eggs that are incubating
• The prized possession the queen or queens

Simply addressing the ants that come out to show their antennae is not enough to solve the underlying issue. Only by applying Verona ant control tactics to the colony as a whole will keep ants out of the picnic basket for good.

There are various jobs in a warehouse. Watching everyone interact or perform their actions without evident interactions can be hard to decipher from an outside perspective. Their efforts can resemble the hive mind that we observe with ants. It is only when we dive into the intricate details of their interactions and social structure that we can understand their motivations. Similar to humans, not all ants are equally motivated. Some work harder than others. Not all ants have the same jobs but include jobs such as:

• Queen – some species have 1 queen per colony and others have hundreds
• Reproductive males – They have just one job, but are most closely related to the queen
• Workers – these are females and the ones you see gathering food
• Excavators – different species have different structural building needs, some are equipped to do the heavy lifting or hard tearing apart of materials to make room
• Guards – some ants such as carpenter ants will set up aphid farms for their nourishment

Verona ant control programs utilize baits and slow-acting products that allow the control measures to reach deep into the colony and affect each member to prevent resurgences.

The Structure

Our warehouses vary in shape and size and location across Verona. Some are built to maximize storage while others are built to control environments such as temperatures or humidity. Ants do the same thing. They build their homes in different places to maximize food access, take advantage of special protection, or gain proximity to necessary supplies. Verona ant control begins with identifying where the ants are nesting and what kind of ant is the target.

Verona ant control should be customized to the specific ant species and property in question. In some cases, neighboring homes and businesses will have similar and overlapping ant issues, but this is not always the case. Three structures in a row could be dealing with entirely different species. At Rove Pest Control, we have the customized solution available to dial in the ant control measures and deliver timely results.
