Apple Pest Control responded to my request immediately and came to my house within two hours of initial contact. This was unexpected considering it was a Saturday morning. The pest control technician, George, listened to my concerns about the crazy ant infestation in my attic and how they were spreading to different rooms through the light fixtures. He also listened when I told him that I was concerned about the insecticide that he would use in the attic since I am allergic to pyrethrums— a common ingredient in pesticides. George immediately looked up the ingredients list on the pesticide that would be used to dust for ants in my attic. Pyrethrums were on the ingredients list, so he suggested that instead of dusting the attic, how about he spray the entire outside perimeter of the house and see if that would stop the infestation. I was skeptical that this would kill the ants in the attic, but George explained that the ants were accessing the area outside of the house... if he sprayed outside, the chemicals would stick to the ants and eventually kill the colony. I agreed to try this, but I was sure that he would have to come back and dust the attic. Within five days of the outside treatment, no living ants were seen in the house! It has now been two weeks since treatment and I am very happy with the results. I’m very grateful that George suggested the outside treatment approach rather than introducing pesticide into my house. I would definitely recommend Apple Pest Control and will use their service again if I have a need in the future.
