Ant Control — Nationwide

Ants live in colonies with egg-laying queens, worker females, and seasonal swarmers. Most common US house ants are nuisance pests that contaminate food and trail indoors, while carpenter ants are the one widely destructive species because they excavate galleries in wood to nest.

Signs you may need ant control

What a licensed exterminator does

  1. Inspect and identify the ant species
  2. Apply non-repellent baits foragers carry back to the queen and brood
  3. Use non-repellent perimeter treatments that avoid colony budding
  4. Address moisture, entry points, and food sources
  5. Broadcast-bait the yard for fire ants

Common problems we help with

More ants after spraying

Over-the-counter repellent sprays can cause multi-queen colonies to bud and scatter into several new nests, which is why pros use non-repellent baits instead.

Carpenter ants in the wood

Carpenter ants hollow out galleries to nest rather than eating wood, but they still cause real structural damage over time and signal a moisture problem.

Fire ant mounds in the yard

Broadcast baiting the whole yard reaches fire ant colonies you can't find, which is more effective than treating individual mounds.

Trails that keep returning

Ants follow scent trails to food and moisture, so lasting control combines baiting with sealing entry points and removing attractants.

When it matters

Ant activity peaks spring through summer; carpenter ant swarmers appear in late spring and early summer.

Argentine ants dominate the South and California; carpenter ants are the top structural ant of the wet Pacific Northwest and northern states; fire ants infest much of the South under federal quarantine.

Ant Control — frequently asked questions

Why do I see more ants after I spray them?
Over-the-counter repellent sprays can cause multi-queen ant colonies to bud and scatter into several new nests, which actually multiplies the problem.
Do carpenter ants eat wood like termites?
No — carpenter ants hollow out galleries to nest rather than eating wood, but they still cause real structural damage over time and often signal a moisture problem.
Will killing the ants I see solve the problem?
No — the ants you see are foragers, so lasting control requires baiting that reaches and eliminates the hidden queen and colony.
Are fire ant mounds worth treating one by one?
Broadcast baiting the whole yard is more effective than treating individual mounds because it reaches fire ant colonies you can't find.
Why do ants keep coming back to my kitchen?
Ants follow scent trails to food and moisture, so lasting control combines baiting with sealing entry points and removing the attractants.
