Ant Management

Ants can turn your home into their playground, invading your kitchen, contaminating food, and causing chaos. At Seva Facility Pest Control, we tackle these tiny troublemakers with fast, effective treatments to kick them out and keep them from coming back.

Understanding Ant Infestations

Ants usually invade in search of food, water, and shelter. Once they find a suitable place, they can quickly build colonies and multiply, making it difficult to control the infestation without professional help. Ants often enter through:

• Cracks & Openings: Ants can slip through tiny gaps in walls, windows, and doors.
• Moisture Sources: Leaky pipes or damp areas provide an ideal environment for ants.
• Accessible Food: Ants are attracted to crumbs, spills, and improperly stored food.

The Ant Life Cycle

Ants go through a well-defined life cycle consisting of four stages:

1. Egg: The life of an ant begins as a tiny, soft, oval egg. Ant queens can lay thousands of eggs in their lifetime.
2. Larva: After hatching, the egg becomes a larva, which is a legless, worm-like creature. Larvae are constantly fed by worker ants and grow rapidly.
3. Pupa: The larva then transforms into a pupa. During this stage, the ant undergoes significant changes as it develops into an adult. Some species form cocoons around the pupae for protection, while others remain uncovered.
4. Adult: The final stage of development results in adult ants, which belong to one of three castes: queens (for reproduction), workers (to gather food and maintain the nest), and males (whose primary role is mating with queens).

The entire cycle from egg to adult can take a few weeks to months, depending on the species and environmental conditions.

Prevention Measures

To keep ants at bay, follow these preventive steps:

• Seal Entry Points: Ensure there are no cracks or gaps in windows, doors, or walls where ants can enter.
• Eliminate Food Sources: Store food in airtight containers and clean up spills or crumbs promptly.
• Fix Leaks: Repair any leaky pipes or faucets that may provide ants with a water source.
• Maintain Cleanliness: Regularly sweep floors and wipe countertops to reduce the likelihood of attracting ants.
