Frequently Asked Questions
How do you protect expensive landscaping during ant treatment?
We use landscape-safe products and application methods specifically designed for estate properties. Our technicians are trained to work around specimen plants and water features.
Can you provide discrete service for our estate?
Absolutely. We offer unmarked vehicles, can schedule during specified windows, and coordinate with your house manager or staff for seamless service.
Why do ants keep returning despite our gardener’s efforts?
Professional landscapers maintain aesthetics but aren’t pest control experts. Ant colonies require specialized treatment that landscape maintenance can’t provide.
How do you treat ants around our outdoor kitchen and pool?
We use food-safe products near cooking areas and pool-safe treatments that won’t affect water chemistry. All applications follow EPA guidelines for these sensitive areas.
Do you coordinate with our other service providers?
Yes, we regularly coordinate with landscape crews, pool services, and property managers to ensure comprehensive ant control without service conflicts.
