Local Context

Why Wilmington Homes Need Ant Control

Ants are particularly problematic in Wilmington due to its urban density and high humidity, which allows colonies to thrive year-round. The city's elevation of 92 feet and mild winters mean ants remain active even in cooler months, often nesting in foundations and walls of Wilmington's older homes. With median home values around $230,000, Wilmington homeowners face costly structural damage if ant colonies go untreated.

Wilmington's historic homes, many built during the DuPont era, often have hidden crawl spaces and brick foundations that create ideal ant highways—we've found colonies traveling through old coal chutes and unused chimney flues in the city's older districts.
