Wherever you live in the world on dry land, there are ants. Ants pervade every location inhabited by man.

According to the late Dr. William Wheeler, ants are by far the most populous terrestrial creatures, with approximately five hundred and seventy species in the United States alone!

According to Stoy Hedges, a board certified entomologist (B.C.E.),Do it your self

“Ants can be detrimental to human health; their presence under certain situations can pose a serious human health risk. In hospitals, health care facilities, food processing plants, food packaging plants, and food preparation areas of various structures, the presence of ants should not be tolerated because of potential for disease transmission”.

For the same reasons, ants should most certainly not be tolerated in your home, either.

Ants can carry a variety of diseases. Due to their tireless traveling and frequency in food pantries and many other vulnerable locations, and these diseases can be transmitted to you and your home if you allow the ants stay.

This does not even include the potential danger of the ants that sting and bite, injecting venom and causing potentially deadly reactions in victims.

Asthma attacks and allergic reactions are frequent enough through ant interactions with humans to cause reasonable concern for one’s safety, and the safety of the household as well.
