Keeping ants out of your business may seem impossible. They hide well, they’re tiny and they can squeeze through the smallest gap. Even a crumb left in a break area can attract them and lead to a full-fledged infestation before you even realize you have a problem.
Luckily, your pros at Assured Environments are here to help you with the best ant control services anywhere in New York. Read on to learn more about our services, and how you can reduce your risk of getting ant problems.
If you've got an ant problem, Assured Environments is here to help. We identify the ant species, apply the appropriate treatment, and eliminate the ant infestation colony. Contact us for a free risk assessment.
The Tri-State area can be plagued by many ant species. These include carpenter ants, which bore through wood to make hollow living spaces; flying ants that have defensive bites and stings, little black ants that can contaminate food and cause compliance problems; and European fire ants that can aggressively displace native wildlife, and sting painfully, which can trigger anaphylaxis in humans.
One rule is true whatever the species you have: Prevention is the best way to keep ants out. Why? Because it takes away the things that attract them. So clean regularly, clear away uneaten food, securely seal stored food, repair leaks and dripping faucets, seal all gaps and cracks and around windows and door frames.
Most services just spray the ants you see today. We stop the ones coming tomorrow. Assured Environments’ ant exterminators treat the "blind spots" of your facility to eliminate the source of the ant infestation:

How long does it take to see results? Well, 2 to 4 days is the normal time to see reduced ant activity from ant bait, with 7 to 10 days to fully eliminate the colony, but it can take up to 14 days. Ant sprays have a faster “knockdown” effect, but they often won’t eliminate the queen and so she will just continue to lay more ant eggs.
Yes. Your food prep areas are safe to use once our specialist ant spray has dried—generally 2 to 4 hours—and once all the surfaces have been wiped down with warm, soapy water. If any open boxes of food were exposed while surfaces were sprayed, then it’s best to discard them.
Our comprehensive ant pest control services include proactive monitoring and detailed treatment documentation. We supply service reports to demonstrate your commitment to pest-free conditions during inspections, to ensure your compliance with all health codes.
DIY methods such as ant traps and sprays offer only a temporary fix for the ants you see, not the hidden source.

We supply professional-grade treatments for food service and restaurant ant control that are safer, more effective, and backed by ongoing support.
Prevention is the best way to keep ants out of your premises as it takes away the things that attract them. So clean regularly, clear away uneaten food, securely seal stored food, repair leaks and dripping faucets, seal all gaps and cracks and around windows and door frames.
