Ant Control
Ants can quickly invade your home looking for food and water. Ants will usually show up in the spring and try to stay until the fall. Household ants will build their colonies outside of your house and send workers in looking. Carpenter ants behave differently since they build their nests inside of the wood within your home, which can cause damage similar to that of termites. Fire ants are a growing problem in the Knightdale area. Fire ants pose a danger to your children and your pets since they can crawl on you and bit leaving large stinging welts.
Each of these ants requires a different type of treatment to clear them up for good. However, to stop the ants for good, you will need to kill the queen, which should eliminate the entire colony. Traps and baits that you buy from the store may temporarily stop the ants, but the ants often return. The EcoTek ant control team can identify the type of ant and determine the best ant treatment to stop them from coming back again. Contact EcoTek to schedule a free ant inspection today.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prevent ants?
The best way to prevent ants is to keep your home clean. If they do not find food or water they will not come back in. This means you should repair any leaks. Cleaning up after each meal by doing the dishes and wiping down the counters can help. Taking out the trash each day is also important.
How do I find the cockroach nests?
Cockroaches like to nest in small enclosed spaces like behind or underneath a refrigerator or between the spaces behind the counters. An exterminator can use a flushing agent to cause the roaches to come out of their nests to help with treating them.
How do I tell if I have termites?
The easiest way is to schedule a termite inspection, which will look at spaces including your crawlspace and your attic. If you see damaged wood or your floors start to squeak you may termites. Mud tubes along your foundation are another sign.
What happens during a treatment?
During your first treatment, the technician will perform an inspection and identify any pests that need to be treated. You will receive a written estimate and can opt to have your first treatment applied then.
Are treatment plans available?
We offer three different pest control treatment plans for our customers. Each of the plans include regular treatments and quarterly inspections. The first plan covers conventional treatments. The second option is for organic treatments. The third plan includes termite coverage and prevention.
Do my pets need to leave during a treatment?
Pets are naturally attracted to the insecticide when it is wet. This can be dangerous for them, so we ask that you remove the pets during the treatment and for four hours after the treatment is complete. Once the treatment is dry, it is safe for your pets to return.
Is same day service available?
We offer same day service in most instances. In order to receive service the same day, you will need to call before noon. If you call in the afternoon, we can usually visit the next day.
Do I have to be there during each treatment?
You do not need to be home during a treatment, but you will need to give the technician access to your home before so that treatments can be done. The technician will leave a card stating the time and type of treatments that were completed.
