ANT CONTROL
Woodland | Davis | Dixon | Winters
Ant Control
Ants are one of the most common household pests in our area, and store-bought sprays usually only kill the ants you can see. The colony — and the queen — stay hidden, so the trail comes back.
Our ant control service starts with identifying the species and finding where the ants are coming from. We locate trails, entry points, and nesting areas, then use targeted baits and treatments designed to be carried back to the colony. We treat interior problem areas as well as exterior entry points around the foundation, windows, and doors.
Ant Prevention
If ants are an ongoing problem at your property, you should consider our ongoing ant prevention service. This starts with a thorough inspection of your property, including the exterior, interior, kitchen and bathrooms, attic, and crawl space.
Once that is done, we will provide you with a written plan for prevention. The plan will list the entry points and conditions found by the inspector and the steps to correct them — sealing entry points, removing food and moisture sources, trimming vegetation away from the house, and scheduled exterior treatments as needed.
Our residential pest control is available as monthly, bi-monthly, and one-time treatments.
Most Common Ants In Our Area
The most common ants in our area are Argentine Ants, Odorous House Ants, Carpenter Ants, and Pavement Ants.
Argentine Ants
Argentine ants are tiny, light to dark brown ants, about 1/8 inch long. They form huge colonies with multiple queens and travel in long, dense trails. They are the most common nuisance ant in Northern California and often move indoors during hot, dry weather or heavy rain in search of water, sweets, and warm shelter. Once inside, they can contaminate food and food preparation areas.
Odorous House Ants
Odorous house ants are small, dark brown to black ants, about 1/16 to 1/8 inch long. They give off a rotten-coconut smell when crushed. They nest in wall voids, under floors, and near moisture sources, and they come indoors in search of sugary and greasy foods.
Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants are large black or reddish-black ants, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch long. They do not eat wood the way termites do, but they hollow it out to build their nests. They prefer wet or decaying wood, so homes with leaks, water damage, or rotting trim are at higher risk. Left untreated, they can cause serious structural damage. Look for sawdust-like material near window frames, door frames, and baseboards.
Pavement Ants
Pavement ants are small, dark brown to black ants that nest beneath slabs and along foundations, driveways, and patio edges. They enter homes through cracks in the foundation and around windows and doors, and forage indoors for sweets, grease, and protein.
