EXTERMINATOR ANTS
Ants are the most common household pests in the U.S., and different ant species can be found all over the world. Though usually harmless, house ants can become quite a nuisance and can be destructive to property and contaminate food. Further, fire ants can cause skin irritations and allergic reactions in some people. You can do your part to minimize an ant invasion by properly storing your food, disposing of your waste promptly, caulk any cracks near entrances/exits of your home and around electrical sockets. If you’ve already followed these tips, and you’re still dealing with household ants, Buddies Exterminating will eliminate the source of the problem and prevent any more ants using our proven ant extermination methods.

HEALTH RISKS AND PROPERTY DAMAGE
The only creatures on Earth that will likely never be on the endangered species list are the ants. They can be found anywhere; just leave crumbs of food around, have a picnic or grow a garden. One scout finds a crumb and calls the whole fleet to come out. The little pests are more tenacious than pit bulls, but there are ways you can stop these pests from entering your house and making it their own.

Follow The Trail
Follow a trail of ants back to the nest; it could be outside buried in the ground or inside one of your walls. Mark the area and begin killing the ants in plain sight. Scouts, especially when you see one or two, should never be allowed to return to the nest, because the scout ants secrete a trail for the others to follow and invade your home.
Do not assume that killing the visible ants will win the battle; they will send out more. If you use a vacuum, empty the bag into outdoor trash cans.
Eliminate The Nest
There are many different opinions about how to kill ants and eliminate the nests. To effectively kill the entire colony, the queen has to be killed. She will not be seen on the food trail with the worker ants. Instead, she is usually in the lowest and deepest chamber underground. This can be several inches to several feet deep, depending on the species.
Digging up the yard or tearing open walls may not be desirable for getting rid of ants. A host of commercial products including sprays, poison baits and traps are on the market today. There are also many different herbal combinations for those who wish to use less or non-toxic methods to eliminate ant colonies.
If the problem seems overwhelming, or nothing seems to be working, it may be time to call a professional to handle your ant extermination in Las Vegas.

Look no further! Buddies was referred to us over 3 years ago and we’ve never had an issue with insects while using their service. Brian, the owner, is very kind and helpful. He takes a lot of pride in his work and believe me it shows. We recently moved to a new house and it would have been the perfect time to switch companies if we were unhappy. From receptionist, to the techs, to owner – I am extremely pleased with their level of service and effectiveness.

I am very impressed with them. 4 years ago, they put up screens on my solar panels (one of the few companies that will do this) to keep out the flying rats (pigeons). Once of the sections came loose and instead of charging for the house call they stated that it was due to one of their fasteners which they guarantee for 5 years! What a relief to work with such an honest and competent family owned business. Highly recommended.
