  • Garages, crawl spaces, and basements

  • Flower beds, mulch, and foundation areas

One Treatment Rarely Ends It

Why DIY Treatments Don’t Last

Store-bought sprays may kill ants you can see, but often don’t stop the colony causing the problem. Without addressing the nest, ants usually return—sometimes in a different area of the home.

Freqently Asked Questions

Why do I suddenly have ants in my house?

Ants come inside looking for food and water, especially during warm weather, rain, or seasonal changes. Even small crumbs, pet food, or moisture around sinks can trigger an infestation.
Clean up food sources immediately, wipe down surfaces, and target active trails with the right treatment. Professional ant control eliminates the colony so the problem stops at the source.
Most DIY sprays only kill the ants you see and don’t eliminate the nest. When the colony is still active, ants return through the same entry points and rebuild the trail.
Ants typically enter through tiny cracks around doors, windows, siding, plumbing lines, and the foundation. Once inside, they follow scent trails to kitchens, pantries, and bathrooms.
Seal entry points, keep food stored properly, wipe counters daily, take out trash regularly, and reduce moisture around sinks and leaks. Ongoing pest control keeps ant activity under control year-round.
