Ant Control Winnipeg

Ever heard of the number one quadrillion? It’s a one followed by fifteen zeroes. One million billion. That’s how many ants are estimated to exist in the world.

ants

Ants are small insects with segmented bodies, consisting of a head, thorax, and abdomen. They typically have six legs, long antennae, and often a narrow waist between the thorax and abdomen. Their colors can vary from black and red to brown and yellow, depending on the species.

Behaviour

Ants are highly social insects that work together in colonies to build nests, find food, and care for their young. They communicate through pheromones to coordinate activities and can be seen marching in trails to food sources. Some species may exhibit aggressive behavior when defending their nests.

Clearly, ants are part of life on planet Earth. But when their lives get a little too close to us for comfort, it’s time to take action. If your home or property is infested with ants, you know what pests they can be.

Ants in your yard can damage your lawn or garden, while ants indoors can cause structural damage by chewing your foundation, walls, insulation, and even electrical cables. Some types of ants have painful stings, while others can spread disease. And don’t forget about the straight-up frustration of finding ants in your pantry, cupboard, or anywhere else where food is stored or left out.

In Manitoba, we have a few common ant species, including Carpenter Ants, Pavement Ants, Sugar Ants, and Pharaoh Ants. Ants live for several years individually and thrive in colonies that can contain up to 500,000 ants in total. They leave behind a scent for each other to follow when they discover food or another attractant, and this is how they communicate with other ants about what routes to follow. Often, these routes originate at a nest.

Most do-it-yourself ant treatments only deal with ants you can see. If you want to get to the nest – the root of your problem – it’s probably time to call in an expert.

Called Gilles to help remove a wasp nest in our back yard. He happened to have someone in the area, so within 15 minutes the wasp nest was gone and so is the anxiety of trying to do it ourselves.Would absolutely recommend and use again!

I used Gilles Lambert Pest Control Services to deal with a squirrel issue. I dealt with Cyrus. He was happy to communicate with me via text message which is a huge plus. It took him and his team a few visits to get the squirrels out of my fascia, and then seal it off so they couldn't get back in.I was happy with their prompt service, and would recommend them to anyone looking for pest control.

Previous to using Gilles Lambert pest control I had used Poulins in Winnipeg and was very disappointed in the response not just staying on hold for 10-15 minutes but also how long it takes for an appointment. When they did finally come by everything is additional charges and very high fees and I found that they didn’t explain exactly what the process was which kept me asking a lot of questions. It seemed like they just wanted to get out of there on to the next call. II found my technician Terry personable and very knowledgeable and explained everything to me. Also gave some great suggestions. This morning I was hearing some noises in my heat register I called Gilles and he sent someone down within 4 hours that day that’s unheard of with Poulins. I am so impressed with their professionalism.I am happy to speak to any customers through via Gilles lambert if they want me to define my experience. Very highly recommended They are awesome Thanks again, Neil
