- Identify the ant. Tiny yellowish ants are Pharaoh ants, which must never be sprayed because spraying splits the colony.
- Bait. Granular bait or bait stations let workers carry the product back and kill the colony. Pharaoh ants get gel bait only, over 3 visits about 2 weeks apart.
- Barrier. Inside we treat baseboards, cracks and travel paths. Outside, a perimeter barrier around the foundation, doors and windows lasts about 90 days.
- Warranty: if ants come back, we come back at no extra cost.
Products are Health Canada approved and applied according to the product label, and our technicians are licensed by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP). Our ant work is backed by a 90-day warranty.

| The give-away is under magnification: a thief ant has only 10 antennal segments and a two-segment club, while a pharaoh ant has 12 segments and a three-segment club. Pharaoh ants also have no spines on the thorax, which separates them from fire ants. | Pharaoh Ants in Ontario: Identify and Get Rid of Them |
| Pharaoh ants are one of the pests best left to a professional. Alberta Health advises hiring a certified professional when the problem is bad, and notes that it may take several visits over days or weeks. | Pharaoh Ants in Ontario: Identify and Get Rid of Them |

| In a home the risk is lower, but it is another reason to throw out any food that ants have reached and to take the infestation seriously. A spray kills some workers, but it can make the colony split into several new nests. | Pharaoh Ants in Ontario: Identify and Get Rid of Them |

Frequently asked questions: Nobleton
What does King say about insects?
Under King's Clean Yards By-law every person must ensure their land is free and clear of infestation, which the by-law defines as the overrunning of a property by vermin, rodents and insects.
Whose job is it in a Nobleton rental?
The landlord arranges control and the tenant cooperates; the Landlord and Tenant Board sets out the duty.
What should I do about ants coming from a bathtub spout?
Ants follow moisture and wall voids, so the trail often starts outside. Do not spray tiny yellowish Pharaoh ants, because spraying splits the colony. OpenStreetMap maps water near the centre of Nobleton, including East Humber River and Humber River, and damp ground near water suits ants.
