Family Pest Control Service in Charlotte North Carolina
About Our Service:
Hello, my name is Adam. I am a co-owner of Bulwark Exterminating, LLC. My family and co-workers work hard to create the highest quality pest control service. We are excited about the opportunity to serve you.
According to a fireman in Florida they can. A home in Florida caught fire, killed a few cats, and caused 80,000 in damages and the culprit was a little black carpenter ant. The colony nested in the wall near an electrical outlet. When one of the ants got grounded it burst into flames and the fire quickly spread. So you can certainly add that to your list of why not to have carpenter ants in your walls.
Ant Season is really heating up. Ants are now one of the most common requests we receive. Ant control is all about getting rid of ant queens. Its kinda like chess, except its the queen that you want to kill instead of king. Once she is out, game over!
Of course, that’s assuming that there is only one queen. Some colonies actually have more the one queen. This is mostly dependent on the ant species. For more info on ant colonies check out this ant video:
WOW – Queen Ants can live for up to 20 years!

Ants are out early this year for many Charlotte residents. We have had several phone calls for Ant Control in Charlotte. Besides being a nuisance, ants can be a real health threat, and even deadly. Its estimated that 1 out of every 20 people could have an allergic reaction to ant bites and some of those could even suffer death if not treated. Fatalities from ant bites in the US are rare but they do occur. Most are avoidable if treated quickly.
For those suffering from ants, you should be advised not to spray regular over the counter spray on ant trails. Ants are highly sensitive to odors. If you spray a colony or a trail of ants then you may make the problem worse by causing them to branch out and form new ant colonies. If you choose to treat ants on your own then use ant baits.
If you want a professional to assist you then make sure they are armed with a variety of bait options and that they are not just spraying the same products on the ants as they do your home. There are a very few and typically more expensive sprays that are effective against ants. So if your Charlotte pest control company does spray ask if the spray is unique and specific for ants.
