Ant Control
Ants may be small, but they can become a big nuisance when they invade your kitchen, crawl through cracks or damage wood structures. Different species require different treatment plans, and our team knows how to tackle them all.
Types of Ants We Treat
- Carpenter Ants: These wood‑destroying insects hollow out beams and structural wood.
- Odorous House Ants: Small brown ants that emit a rotten smell when crushed.
- Pavement Ants: Common around foundations and patios.
- Velvety Tree Ants & Moisture Ants: Thrive in moist, decaying wood.
Why Professional Ant Control?
- Accurate Identification: Species identification guides the right treatment method.
- Colony Elimination: We target nests, queens and satellite colonies—not just the foragers you see.
- Safe Solutions: Our baits and barriers are effective and safe for kids and pets.
- Preventative Measures: We advise on sealing cracks, fixing leaks and storing food properly to deter ants.
Our Process
- Inspection & Species ID: We identify the ant species and locate nests.
- Baiting & Barrier Treatments: We apply slow‑acting baits that ants carry back to the colony and spray non‑repellent barriers along entry points.
- Sanitation & Exclusion: We clean ant trails, remove food sources and seal gaps in foundations.
- Follow‑Up: We monitor activity and adjust treatments until ants are gone.
FAQs
