Frequently Asked Questions
How do you treat ants in restaurant kitchens?
We use food-safe gel baits placed in cracks away from food surfaces, combined with exterior perimeter treatments. All methods meet health department requirements for food service establishments.
Can ants spread between businesses in strip malls?
Yes, ants travel through shared walls, electrical conduits, and plumbing. We coordinate treatments between adjacent units when possible for best results.
Do you offer after-hours service for businesses?
Absolutely. We understand businesses can’t always close for pest control. We offer early morning, evening, and weekend appointments to minimize disruption.
Why do ants get worse after rain in San Gabriel?
Rain floods underground nests, driving ants indoors. San Gabriel’s clay soil and urban drainage make this especially problematic. Pre-rain treatment prevents invasions.
Is monthly service really necessary for restaurants?
For San Gabriel food businesses, yes. The combination of food odors, grease, moisture, and high traffic requires consistent prevention to avoid health code violations.
Protect your San Gabriel home or business from ants.
