Alexandria, VA, is home to several ant species, including carpenter ants, odorous house ants, and pavement ants. Each species presents unique challenges, from structural damage to contamination of food sources.
Typical signs of an ant infestation include trails of ants, particularly near food sources, and small piles of dirt or wood shavings, which indicate nesting sites.
For severe infestations, professional pest control services offer targeted treatments that can effectively eliminate ant colonies and prevent future invasions.
Recently, Alexandria's environmental department has launched initiatives to reduce pesticide use, encouraging residents to adopt more eco-friendly pest control methods, including natural ant repellents.
