Ant trails to the sink, piles of sawdust near the trim and hills along the driveway all need different treatments. We identify the ant, find the nest and treat it inside and out. Carpenter ants, pavement ants and the sugar ants that find your pantry are the most common here.
Spraying the trail kills the workers you see, but the queen keeps laying eggs. Baits and targeted treatments reach the colony, and we point out the wet spots carpenter ants love. Seeing other bugs too? See home pest control and wasp removal.
What people ask when the ants show up.
They’re following a trail to food or water. One scout finds a crumb or a drip and leaves a scent trail for the rest of the crew. That’s why they show up in neat little lines.
Wiping the trail helps, but spraying visible ants often just makes the colony split up and reappear somewhere else. The goal is to wipe out the colony, not just the line.
Not at all. Some are just a nuisance, while others, like carpenter ants, can damage wood (think of them as the termite’s lookalike cousin with the same bad habits). If you see big black ants or piles of fine, sawdust-like debris near wood, call or text us at 260-245-3323 (DEAD) before they turn your home into their condo.
Wipe up spills right away, store food in sealed containers, fix leaks, and trim plants or branches touching your house. Cut off the buffet and the line shrinks.
Bait products are designed to be contained, but placement matters. Ask us where and how to use them so they stay out of reach of curious little hands and noses.
