Signs you may need ant control
- Trails of ants in kitchens and bathrooms
- Large black ants indoors in spring, a sign of carpenter ants
- Small piles of sawdust-like debris near wood
- Swarms of winged ants near windows
- Sand piles in sidewalk and driveway cracks
What causes the problem
Ants come inside for food and moisture. Carpenter ants nest in damp or damaged wood, often around leaky windows, roofs and decks.
Why professional treatment matters
Spraying ants on sight often splits a colony into several. Professional non-repellent products and baits are carried back to the nest and eliminate it at the source.
Our treatment approach
- Trail and nest inspection inside and out
- Non-repellent perimeter treatment
- Targeted bait placements
- Moisture and wood-damage findings for carpenter ants
What to expect
Most homes are protected on our annual service agreement: an initial service, then four quarterly services starting 30 days later to break the egg cycle, with free reservice if pests return between visits.
Prevention tips
- Wipe up sugary spills right away
- Fix leaks and moisture-damaged wood
- Trim branches touching the roof

Ant Control FAQs
Are carpenter ants damaging my house?
Carpenter ants hollow out damp or damaged wood to nest. They don't eat wood, but an established colony can cause damage and often signals a moisture problem.
