Ants are the most commonly searched pest problem in America. The ones you see are just 10% of the colony. Professional treatment eliminates the queen and the entire nest — not just the foragers.

Key facts about ant infestations every homeowner should understand.
The ants you see foraging are just scouts. The queen and 90% of the colony stay hidden in the nest — often inside walls or underground.
Unlike termites, carpenter ants don't eat wood — they tunnel through it to build nests. Left untreated, they cause serious structural damage over time.
Spraying ant trails with consumer products can split the colony into multiple satellite nests — making the problem worse. Bait treatment targets the source.
A professional exterior perimeter barrier stops ants from entering your home and eliminates colonies approaching from outside.

Ants enter homes seeking food, water, or shelter — especially during hot dry summers or heavy rain. A scout finding a food source inside leaves a pheromone trail for thousands of colony members to follow within hours.
Consumer sprays kill the ants you see but repel survivors, causing them to split the colony into multiple satellite nests — a process called 'budding.' Professional bait products are carried back to the queen, eliminating the entire colony.
Interior bait treatment takes 30-60 minutes. Exterior perimeter barrier application takes 1-2 hours. Full colony elimination through bait takes 1-2 weeks as workers carry it back to the queen and nest.
Carpenter ants don't eat wood like termites, but they tunnel through it to build nests — causing significant structural damage over time. They typically target wood that is already slightly damp or damaged. An infestation inside your home should be treated promptly.
For most ant species, exterior perimeter barrier treatment alone solves the problem. For interior infestations — ants already nesting inside walls or foundations — interior bait treatment is added. Your technician will assess and recommend the right approach.
A single treatment often resolves the immediate infestation. For ongoing prevention, quarterly exterior perimeter treatments keep ants from returning — especially in warmer climates where ant activity is year-round.
