Ant Treatment Services

Ants can and will take over your home, kitchen, bathroom or backyard if allowed. If you have an ant problem call us now. In your home, restaurant, and just about anywhere else ants are unacceptable.

A primary problem that can cause an ant infestation is poor sanitation, crumbs, leftover food residue, dirty dishes and trash not being emptied frequently can all be sources of food for hungry ants. Ants will find the food and get the word back to their colonists and before you know it you have a trail going from the food source to the colony.

Signs of a Ant Infestation

Ants are small but persistent pests that can quickly invade homes and businesses. Recognizing the early signs of an infestation is crucial to preventing a full-blown problem. Keep an eye out for these common indicators:

Hollow or Damaged Wood

Carpenter ants burrow into wood, leaving behind smooth tunnels inside walls or furniture.

Discarded Wings

Flying ants shed their wings after mating, leaving small piles near windows or doorways.

Ant Trails

A musky or urine-like smell is a clear indicator of rodent activity

Noises

Scratching, scampering, or gnawing sounds coming from walls, ceilings, or attics.

Common Types of Ants We Handle

Different types of ants require unique approaches to control. We cover a wide range of ants, including:

Pavement Ants

Small reddish-brown ants commonly found near sidewalks and patios.

Carpenter Ants

Large black ants that nest in wood and can damage structures.

Odorous House Ants

Emit a strong, unpleasant smell when crushed.

Other Types

We also treat Pharaoh, Argentine, Little Black, Thief ants, and more.
