The summer and spring seasons are usually the time for lots of cookouts and other activities, but the high humidity and dryness can also increase the chances of ant infestation and mosquito breeding. With ant infestation, enjoying your summer can be hell. Ants are not only dangerous to adults, but they can also be a treat to children, and pets. Fortunately, Sesmas Tree Service has a solution to ant tree infestation for your home.

How to Get Rid of Ant Tree Infestation

Why are Ant Infestations Dangerous?

Though there is a wide range of ants and anyone who gets bitten by any will know that they hurt. If adults find it difficult to deal with ants, one should imagine how kids will deal with it. Ant species such as the carpenter ants prefer to live in woods, and they dig tunnels that can be hardly seen under the surface and this will eventually weaken the wood. This is the reason why you should pay attention to weaken trees. Ants that reside in trees often deposit the wood they eat outside of the trees they live in the form of hills and some damages are very hard to notice.

Getting Rid of Ant Tree Infestation

One of the quickest ways to stop ant tree infestation is to kill the Queen ant which is the largest and with wings. Though it may be difficult to spot the queen because she is not always visible but it is the queen ant that repopulates the colony by laying all eggs. Once the queen ant is killed the population will slowly die out. The queen ant is located at the bottom of the colony but you need to help of a professional tree infestation service provider to get rid of such a colony.

Get Rid of Ant Colony by Blocking the Routes of the Ant Workers

The worker ants often leave some scent behind them when they are moving out of ant house so that they can trace their way back once they have gathered food into the ant house. Once you can block the trail of the ants, you should be able to get rid of the ant. You should be able to block the ant house with rock and the anthill will slowly die out.

Customer Reviews

3 large Leyland Cypress trees removed near front of our home. Excellent service, professional crew, very competitive pricing for superior work! Rolando provided the initial estimate and the  follow up and was the best in terms of customer relations. I'd both use this company again AND highly recommend them.

Susan Hitchcock

This is the 2nd time we have used Sesmas Tree Service. They are a wonderful company to deal with. They were on time, professional, and very thorough. They cleaned up prior to leaving and went out of their way to protect our plants and landscaping. And they kept to their proposal with no hidden cost or add ons. Definitely a five star experience!

Gene McFadden

Wow!  I deal with tree services in my professional work and I can honestly say Sesmas is by far the most professional, best equipped, efficient, safety conscious, and communicative service I've ever encountered.  Their price was very reasonable and they even went so far as to include additional work without increasing the price.  Call them!  Now! They are very quick to respond.

Scott McLendon

We've used Sesmas several times and have always received excellent service.  Estimates are quick and easy and the crew is efficient and leaves the property clean of debris.  Recently we needed a tree removed next to a heavily landscaped area.  Sebastian went over everything with me in detail and listened to my concerns.  The crew did an excellent job in removing the tree with minimal disturbance to the surrounding area.  We are pleased and will consider them again in the future for pruning and tree removal.

Tonia Griswold

Sesmas Tree Service was amazing! I had two dead trees cut and a lot of trees that were already down on my property removed. Sebastian came out and sent the quote in writing within 24 hours. We were in the process of scheduling the service when a slot opened up sooner snd I was able to go ahead and get the work done. Everything was explained ahead of time for what to expect. The crew was very efficient and professional.  All of the work and cleanup was done in one day. I would recommend Sesmas for your tree cutting/cleanup needs.

LaDora Woods

I hired Sesmas to cut down a very tricky tree that was hanging over my house as well as a few large limbs. They did a great job and had the machinery to get the job done right.

Perry Hartman

Great experience with Sesmas. They were meticulous with my tree removal, safe and efficient. David’s communication throughout the process was much appreciated. Highly recommend!

Lindsay Ellenburg

Great experience with Sesmas Tree Service. The arborist who came out was a Board Certified Master Arborist, and you could immediately tell he knew his stuff. He took the time to explain what needed to be done, gave us clear options, and helped us feel confident from start to finish. The whole process was easy and professional. We’ll definitely use them again.
