As April showers bring May flowers across the Farmington Valley, we’re thrilled to launch our new 3-part Farmington Valley Spring Mice Series at Green Pest Control.

Ants create hidden satellite nests and communicate instantly via pheromones—making store-bought sprays often ineffective at reaching nests at the rates required for colony collapse.

Look for long ant trails along baseboards, small piles of dirt (mounds) near foundations, or tiny black or brown ants in pantries. Pavement ants leave sandy trails on sidewalks, while odorous house ants smell like coconut when crushed.

Spring rains in the Farmington Valley create moist conditions that ants love, drawing them from outdoor colonies into homes through tiny cracks around foundations, doors, and windows.

Wrapping up our Pest Series at Green Pest Control, Part 4 covers cockroaches after discussing mice, ants, and bed bugs in prior posts.

Connecticut homeowners! Building on Parts 1 and 2 about mice and ants, Part 3 of our Farmington Valley Winter Pest Series from Green Pest Control focuses on bed bugs.

In Part 1 of our Connecticut Winter Pest Series, we tackled mice. Now, at Green Pest Control, we’re shifting to ants.

As February’s chill settles over the Farmington Valley and beyond, we’re kicking off our Connecticut Winter Pest Series at Green Pest Control.
