Insects are a creepy and sometimes destructive nuisance, and sugar ants are one of the worst. They are only two to 15 millimeters in size and barely detectable by eye, so there are many times you don’t even realize they are there. This is especially disturbing if you don’t see them until you’ve already consumed half your food and drink. Fortunately, sugar ant control is relatively easy since these insects are drawn to sweetness, as their name implies, and baiting them becomes a simple task. Our pest control information helps you get rid of these tiny ants and prevent them from returning.
