Ant Exterminator in Port Washington โ FAQ
Why do I have ants in my Port Washington home?
Ants enter Port Washington homes foraging for food and moisture, often through foundation cracks, window frames, utility penetrations, and gaps under doors. Carpenter ants nest in moisture-damaged wood and can be a sign of an underlying leak or rot. Spring and summer are peak ant season in Nassau County. Call (516) 517-9150 for a professional ant inspection in Port Washington.
Do store-bought ant sprays work in Port Washington homes?
Over-the-counter sprays kill visible foragers but don't reach the colony. They can also scatter the colony, making the problem harder to resolve. Professional ant treatment targets the queen and colony using baits and residual products that foragers carry back to the nest. This is why professional extermination is significantly more effective for persistent infestations.
