New construction in Davenport is one of the leading causes of ant infestations in the area. When land is cleared and graded for development, it destroys existing ant colonies — and those displaced colonies look for the next available shelter. A newly built home, with its fresh wood, disturbed soil, and warm slab, is the most attractive option available. Moving in to find ants already present is extremely common in new Davenport subdivisions and not a sign of anything wrong with your home.
New construction treatment creates a pre-emptive barrier before colonies establish inside. Applied early — ideally within the first few months of occupancy — a single treatment can provide months of protection and prevents the exponential colony growth that makes later infestations so difficult to eliminate.
