Eradication of Carpenter Ants

I was expecting a house full of overseas guests and had big black ants crawling on my kitchen counter and in the sinks in my kitchen and bathrooms. Yuck! Paramount Pest Control to the rescue! Dave the owner, responded to my phone call with understanding and professionalism. We negotiated a price for my small bungalow and he dispatched one of his lead staff within a few days to coincide with my earliest availability. The technician searched both outside my home and within before starting to spray. During that phase of his visit, he showed me areas in my home were the carpenter ants had gotten in behind the vapour barrier. I had called him in for a carpenter ant infestation but he was on the lookout for other pests as well. As an example, he pointed out obvious mice damage where the caulking around my AC piping into the house had been chewed through. He advised me on how to appropriately fix this with copper mesh and an industrial grade caulking prior to autumn. Investigation done, he sprayed outside and then, donning a mask, fumigated inside. He explained how long I should stay outside of the house and how long to leave the residue along the baseboards to ensure my safety and the effectiveness of the treatment. When I returned home later that day, I noticed evidence of the ants being flushed out from wherever they were in hiding. They were dead. Within two weeks, there were no more live ants in my house or even crawling on my outside decks. Thankfully, no more carpenter ants! I would highly recommend this company.
