Why Do Flying Ants Suddenly Appear?
Nothing can stop the flying ant apocalypse coming to the Carolinas in a few months. Intent on attracting potential mates with elaborate dance moves, flying ants, or “swarmers,” will soon take to the skies, find mates, and establish new colonies ruled by one queen. You’re probably already practicing your swatting technique, knowing that flying ants will soon crash your backyard activities. Can’t you hear the sound of hands slapping necks and arms right now just thinking about flying ants?
Clark’s Pest recommends starting your ant control strategies early before millions of reproductive swarmers fly headlong into the ant dating pool. Safe for use around people, kids, and pets, our treatments prevent ants from reproducing and creating colonies so your home and property remain free from these buzzing pests. We also comprehensively inspect the exterior of your home to find and seal entry points attractive to ants and other crawling pests.
Swarmers can appear anytime between early spring and late summer. Once a female and male flying ant mate, the male dies, and the female finds a place to lay her eggs. After shedding her wings, she becomes the queen of a new ant colony. Don’t allow swarmers to turn your property into a popular tourist resort this spring and summer. Call Clark’s Pest today!
Flying Ants in the Carolinas
Carpenter, fire, and odorous house ants develop wings for annual speed-dating swarms. If you see a cloud of flying ants hovering and moving around your property, you’ll likely be dealing with massive armies of invading ants shortly.
In addition to inflicting painful bites, fire ants are relentless in establishing extensive colonies and converting residential backyards into battlegrounds. Aggressively territorial and resilient, fire ants are typically unimpressed by over-the-counter or DIY treatments. Clark’s Pest Control has developed proprietary methods to defeat fire ant populations by killing queens and disrupting the reproductive cycle. Our fire ant and flying ant treatment plans are also tailored to address problem areas around your home and property to deter possible fire ant invasions.
