How Does Ehlers Pest Control?
Inspection
A certified technician finds the nests, ant trails and entry points, and figures out exactly what you’re dealing with.
For Ants
Most ants are covered by general pest control. Carpenter ants need a more targeted treatment, so we’ll tell you which kind you have.
For Wasps & Hornets
Paper wasp nests on eaves and soffits do best with monthly service. Yellow jackets in the ground or walls are treated one time, as needed. We don’t treat honeybees.
Seasonal Service
Monthly visits from April through October help you stay ahead of new nests and ant trails all season.
WASP AND STINGING INSECT REMOVAL
Wasp and hornet problems get worse as summer progresses. A small nest in May becomes a colony of hundreds by September — and by then it’s significantly more dangerous and more expensive to treat.
Ehlers handles paper wasps, yellow jackets, and hornets. We don’t treat honeybees — those get referred to a beekeeper.
Two different problems require two different approaches:
Paper wasps build visible nests on soffits, eaves, and overhangs. Monthly service keeps nests knocked down consistently through the season before they have a chance to grow.
Yellow jackets go into voids and ground holes. For large properties or extensive coverage needs, we use Pro Spray equipment — high-volume treatment that covers what a standard backpack sprayer can’t. Treated on a one-time or as-needed basis.
ANT EXTERMINATORS FOR MILWAUKEE, KENOSHA, AND RACINE
One ant in your kitchen isn’t just one ant. Ants travel in scouts — what you’re seeing is one member of a colony that’s likely nesting nearby, inside a wall, under a foundation, or in the yard. The colony doesn’t go away on its own.
Ehlers treats common ants, carpenter ants, and everything in between. Carpenter ants in particular require specialized treatment — they’re not the same problem as a trail of pavement ants and they don’t respond to the same approach.
When we come out, a certified technician assesses what type of ant you’re dealing with, where they’re coming from, and what treatment makes sense for your specific situation. We don’t flat-rate ant problems over the phone.
