We treat all common ant species found in residential and commercial properties, including carpenter ants, sugar ants, pavement ants, fire ants, pharaoh ants, and odorous house ants. Our technicians are trained to identify different ant species and implement the most effective treatment strategies for each type of infestation.

Signs of an ant infestation include: visible ant trails in or around your home; small piles of sawdust-like material (frass) near wooden structures, which may indicate carpenter ants; ant nests or mounds in your yard; ants in food storage areas; and small holes or cracks where ants are entering your home. If you notice any of these signs, it's best to contact a professional for an assessment.

Yes, we prioritize the safety of your family and pets. We offer a range of treatment options, including eco-friendly and low-toxicity solutions. Our technicians are trained to apply treatments in a way that minimizes exposure to humans and pets. We'll provide clear instructions on any precautions to take during and after treatment, such as temporary evacuation times and when it's safe to re-enter treated areas.

The time required to eliminate an ant infestation depends on several factors, including the type of ants, the size of the colony, and the extent of the infestation. Some treatments show results within days, while complete elimination might take 1-2 weeks. For severe infestations or certain species like carpenter ants, multiple treatments may be necessary. Our technicians will provide a timeline based on your specific situation.

We focus on eliminating the entire colony, not just the visible ants. Treating only visible ants provides temporary relief but doesn't solve the underlying problem. Our treatment methods are designed to reach the queen and the entire colony, ensuring complete elimination of the infestation. We use baits and other products that worker ants carry back to the nest, affecting the entire colony including the queen.

To prevent ants from returning after treatment: keep your home clean, especially kitchen areas; store food in airtight containers; seal cracks and entry points around your home's exterior; trim trees and shrubs away from your home; fix leaky pipes and eliminate moisture problems; and maintain a regular pest control maintenance schedule. We provide detailed prevention advice specific to your property as part of our service.

Yes, we offer ongoing ant prevention services through our regular maintenance programs. These programs include scheduled inspections and preventative treatments to maintain a protective barrier around your home. Regular maintenance is particularly important in areas prone to ant problems or for properties that have experienced infestations in the past. Our maintenance plans can be customized based on your specific needs and the level of protection required.

Before our ant treatment service: clear clutter from areas where ants have been seen; clean kitchen surfaces and floors to remove food residue; store food in sealed containers; move furniture slightly away from walls if possible; ensure our technicians have access to all areas of concern; and secure pets in a safe area during treatment. Our team will provide specific preparation instructions when you schedule your appointment, as requirements may vary depending on the treatment method being used.
