What began as a local Santa Clarita family’s dream, a father and son opened a pest control business 25 years ago out of their home garage in Valencia. That dream was made into a reality, a now thriving business built on the foundation of service to the community and eco-friendly, organic pest control options.

Experts in pest control and removal, Santa Clarita is in sure need of the services of Unipest. Home to more than a handful of local and invasive species, our community is overrun by bugs.

One such common unwanted neighbor are ants. Professionals at finding their way into your home, garage, play set, or picnic table, ants are one of the most common pests seen in residential and commercial Santa Clarita.

“No bug epitomizes the mob mentality more than ants, especially the local Argentine ant… Their evolutionary prowess makes them spectacularly effective foragers of food and colonizers, which is good news for them and their survival, but REALLY bad news for you and your kitchen, bathroom, restaurant, or home, and Santa Clarita has a VERY healthy dose of these unwelcome invaders,” says Unipest.

When it comes to kicking these critters to the curb, Unipest fortunately offers organic, low impact, and traditional deterrent options. To our benefit, they also list some at-home remedies to lessen the situation until an expert can get there.

1, Make sure excess water is controlled – Argentine Ants are attacking kitchens for their moisture, not their food, so any plumbing leaks, excessive irrigation, or open animal water should be controlled.

2. Get rid of Aphids on plants – A major source of glucose for Argentine Ants is the secretions of aphids and scale insects on shrubs and plants.
3. Eliminate proteins – Just like human diets, insects need a mixture of sugars, amino acids, carbohydrates, and proteins.  They can actually consume a cricket in 8 minutes!  So eliminating excess proteins available to the colony will reduce their desire to invade your home!
4. Use soap and water – Common soap and water can remove the pheromone trails ants use to follow each other into your house.
