There are many signs that ants have entered your home. If these insects are present, you might find:

Fine sawdust that accumulates in strategic locations
A large number of winged specimens
Swarms of winged ants attempting to exit the building
E.Exterminateur offers a long-lasting and eco-friendly extermination solution
In order to offer you solutions that are as eco-friendly as possible, our team uses extermination techniques with a low environmental impact. Our methods are also certified by the Quebec Ministry of the Environment and the repellents used are approved by Health Canada.
Based on the ant species discovered, one of our specially trained technicians will inspect your home or commercial building’s perimeter to identify signs of a colony. He will search for the entry and exit points of scout ants and use them to destroy the nest. Next, he will be able to caulk all the foundation cracks and crevices that could serve as openings for ants.
Avoid the primary risks related to ants with E.Exterminateur
Having ants in your building comes with inconveniences and risks for the occupants. These can vary depending on the species and the degree of infestation.
Framework damage
Carpenter ants eat away at wood to dig their tunnels. They can therefore cause serious structural damages to a house when they arrive in large numbers. In extreme cases, the framework can be weakened and present risks of collapse.
Another reason to take this infestation seriously is the possibility of suing a former owner for hidden defects if nests are found when a property is purchased.
Sanitary risks
All ant species can be disease vectors and carry microorganisms that threaten human health. They are also known to transmit bacteria including salmonella, streptococcus and staphylococcus.
This is why restaurant owners must be extremely vigilant if they suspect ants are in their kitchen or food storage area.
