No one likes ants in or around their home, especially since you might end-up dealing with ant bites or property damage. While managing an ant infestation can be daunting, how you choose to get rid of ants can affect the health of your family, pets, and the environment. PRI is committed to developing resources and tools that provide information on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques, common pesticides, and pesticide attributes.
