Carpenter ants, Pharaoh ants, Little black ants, Odorous house ants, Argentine ants, and Pavement ants are all common types of ants found throughout Nampa, ID and surrounding areas of Idaho. Each of these ants has its unique characteristics and behaviors, and their control and treatment may differ. Therefore, it’s essential to correctly identify the ant species before implementing any pest control measures.
Our Unique Approach To Ant Control & Removal Service
Once we’ve identified the ant species, our expert technicians will use a combination of residual insecticides and bait to treat the infestation. Residual insecticides are applied in strategic areas, while bait is placed in areas where ants are foraging for food. This powerful combination creates a comprehensive approach that can effectively control even the most stubborn ant infestations. Our team follows industry best practices and uses products that are safe for people, pets, and the environment. With our expertise and commitment to customer satisfaction, you can trust us to eliminate your ant problem quickly and efficiently.
1. ANT INSPECTION
An inspection for ants typically involves a thorough assessment of the property to identify any areas of ant activity. Our trained technicians will look for ant trails, nests, and any signs of damage or food sources. We’ll also take note of any areas of the property where ants are commonly found, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas.
2. INTERIOR ANT TREATMENT
First, we identify the type of ant species present and locate any nests or trails that they may be using. Then, we apply a residual insecticide to areas where ants are likely to travel, such as along baseboards, windowsills, and door frames. This creates a barrier that can kill ants over time. Next, we place bait stations in areas where ants are foraging for food, such as in kitchens, pantries, and other high-traffic areas. The bait will attract the ants, which will carry it back to the colony, eventually killing the entire population.
3. EXTERIOR ANT TREATMENT
Our pest control company provides an effective and comprehensive approach to treating the exterior of a property for ants. We start by identifying any potential entry points, such as cracks and crevices in the foundation or gaps around windows and doors. We then apply a residual insecticide around the perimeter of the property, focusing on areas where ants are likely to enter, such as the foundation, window frames, and door frames. This creates a barrier that can kill ants over time. Next, we use a specialized granular bait that we apply to the lawn or garden areas around the property. The bait is designed to attract foraging ants and eliminate the colony.

Ants can enter your home or property in a variety of ways, depending on the species of ant and the conditions in and around your home. Here are some common ways you may have gotten ants:
Food sources: Ants are often attracted to food sources inside your home, such as crumbs or spills. They can enter through even the tiniest cracks and crevices in search of food.
Openings and cracks: Ants can enter your home through any opening or crack, including gaps around windows, doors, and pipes.
Landscaping: Ants may have been attracted to your home due to landscaping, such as trees and plants touching the exterior walls of your home, providing a bridge for the ants to climb into the structure.
Moisture: Ants are attracted to moisture and may enter your home through areas with excess moisture, such as leaky pipes, humid environments, and standing water.
Colonies: Ants may have established a colony near your home or property, and foraging worker ants may have found a way inside.
An ant infestation can be a serious issue, depending on the species of ant and the size of the infestation. While some ants are primarily a nuisance, others can cause damage to property and pose a health risk to humans and pets.
Carpenter ants, for example, can cause structural damage to homes and buildings by tunneling through wood. Pharaoh ants and odorous house ants can contaminate food and surfaces, potentially spreading disease-causing bacteria. Argentine ants and pavement ants can also become a nuisance, invading homes in large numbers and creating unsightly ant trails.
Clean up any food spills, crumbs, and other food sources that may be attracting the ants. Use soap and water to wipe down counters, floors, and other surfaces.
