The life cycle of a bee
Need an ant exterminator?
With over 95 years of experience in the pest control business, we understand how important it is to keep your home and family safe, especially when it comes to ants! Ant infestations can be incredibly difficult to eradicate due to their complex social structures and ability to relocate colonies quickly. Certain types of ants, like carpenter ants, can cause significant structural damage to your home. Our professional ant control solutions offer targeted solutions, expert identification of ant species, and access to powerful treatments.
Common types of ants Terminix treats
While DIY methods can work to remove a few ants, they are unlikely to fully eliminate them. Different types of ants require different ant control treatments. At Terminix, our technicians know how to get rid of ants, including odorous, carpenter, pavement, fire ants, and more.
Odorous house ants
This ant species often sneaks indoors looking for sweets and moisture, typically found around kitchens and bathrooms. A simple soapy water wipe-down and sealing of food sources can usually send them packing.
Carpenter ants
Big and bold, carpenter ants excavate wood to build their nests, so you'll often spot them in damp wood areas like around windows or under decks. Baiting with a slow-acting insecticide is crucial to reach the entire ant infestation.
Pavement ants
These tough cookies are common outdoor dwellers, but they'll wander inside for food, especially in the kitchen or near foundation cracks. A barrier treatment around the house and baiting can help keep pavement ants on the sidewalk where they belong.
Fire ants
With a painful sting and aggressive nature, fire ants build mounds outdoors but can also enter homes to search for food and water. For indoor treatment, use indoor-specific baits along their trails.
How Terminix technicians help get rid of ants
When deciding how to get rid of ants on your property, we commonly utilize non-repellent insecticides, which are undetectable to pests. Our ant exterminators will also identify and seal entry points, address conducive conditions, and utilize targeted treatments to stop future ant infestations. With Terminix ant control services, you benefit from our industry-leading expertise, reliable service, and our Terminix It Guarantee, so you can relax knowing we'll nix your pest problem and keep it nixed.
