Ants live outside all around us, and you'll often see them traveling around our homes. They will move in and out of your house each day through the entry and exit points they find, like cracks in the foundation, holes around pipes, or gaps around windows and doors. Many ants we encounter aren't dangerous, but even nuisance ants are problematic because they spread bacteria and contaminate food. Dangerous ants are those living in our area that spread diseases, bite, or cause structural damage. Ants should never be pests that we tolerate on our properties. Contact the professionals at Hangtown Pest Control to eliminate the ants from your Placerville property.
