Ant Pest Control
Ants, though small, can cause significant inconvenience by invading homes in search of food and shelter. Our expert ant control services ensure effective treatment and prevention, so you can keep your home pest-free.
How to Identify Ant Infestations in Your Home
Ant infestations are common in homes, especially in kitchens and pantries. Early identification can prevent ants from establishing colonies indoors. Here’s what to look for:
Kitchen Counters & Pantry
Ants are usually found foraging in kitchens, where they search for food crumbs and spills.
Bathroom & Sink Areas
Ants often seek water sources in bathrooms, especially near sinks and faucets.
Windows & Doors
You may find ants near entry points like windows and doors, where they enter from outside.
Basement and Foundation
Dark, damp areas in basements or near the home’s foundation are often ant nesting spots.
Outdoor Patios & Gardens
Ants commonly nest near outdoor spaces close to the home, which can lead them indoors.
Walls and Floorboards
Tiny gaps in walls or along floorboards can be entry points or hiding places for ant trails.
Pet Food Bowls
Food remnants left near pet bowls are highly attractive to ants, especially when left out overnight.
Why Do Ants Invade Homes?
Ants enter homes in search of food, water, and shelter, making kitchens and damp areas especially attractive. Once inside, ants lay down scent trails to guide other ants, resulting in a quick spread of the infestation. If left untreated, a small ant problem can quickly turn into a large colony.
Prevention Tips
- Keep your home clean by wiping surfaces and storing food in sealed containers.
- Seal entry points such as cracks around doors and windows.
- Repair any leaks and avoid leaving standing water.
Related Pests
Similar to ants, pests like cockroaches, termites, and rodents can also invade homes for food and shelter.

How to Get Rid of Ants
To get rid of an ant infestation, start by identifying the source of the ants, such as entry points and trails, to understand what is attracting them. Keep your home clean by regularly wiping down surfaces, sweeping floors, and storing food in airtight containers to remove food crumbs, spills, and garbage promptly.
Common Treatments
Ant baits
Professional bait systems attract ants, which then carry the bait back to the colony, effectively targeting the entire nest.
Non-repellent ant sprays
Applied along baseboards and windows, these sprays spread poison back to the colony.
Outdoor baits
Liquid bait and granules placed around your yard help control outdoor infestations.
Barrier Treatment
Yard perimeter treatments that focus on foundations and other entry points to prevent ants from entering.
Heat Treatment
For severe infestations, heat treatments may be used to eliminate ants in hard-to-reach areas.
Every ant infestation is different and it only gets worse over time, which is why it’s important to take fast action. We do offer same-day ant control services, Get Your Estimate or Call us at (888) 706-6384.
