BASF - Absolute Ant Control

Ants, the number one nuisance pest.

Most homeowners consider ants an annoyance. They’re the number one reason homeowners request your service.

Genuine Transfer Effect technology helps eliminate ant colonies at the source.

As social insects, ants live in colonies. Most spray insecticide treatments result in only a few foraging workers being killed, not the entire colony. Even sealing entry points won’t work, since it’s rarely possible to find and seal all possible areas where ants could enter a home.

The solution is genuine Transfer Effect technology from BASF. This innovative technology is built around taking advantage of the social behaviors of ants including following pheromone trails, grooming, communicating and other forms of physical contact.

Through genuine Transfer Effect technology, ants naturally pass the insecticide to other ants in the colony.

Ants will never know: Non-repellent formulations

Genuine Transfer Effect technology utilizes non-repellent formulations, which ants can’t detect so technicians don’t waste time trying to find hard to locate colonies.
