Quick Answer

Ants are social insects that enter homes seeking food and water. Most common types include carpenter ants (which can damage wood) and sugar ants (which are attracted to sweets). Professional treatment targets the entire colony, not just visible ants.

Ant Control FAQs

Get answers about ant control and prevention in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Arizona

QUESTION:How do I get rid of ants in my kitchen permanently?

ANSWER:Permanent ant control requires eliminating the colony, not just the visible ants. Keep surfaces clean, seal food in airtight containers, fix water leaks, and seal entry points around windows and doors. For complete elimination, our professional ant control services target colonies at their source using eco-friendly treatments. We serve homes across Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Arizona. See Pricing & Book Now to identify your ant species and create a customized treatment plan.

QUESTION:Are carpenter ants different from regular ants?

ANSWER:Yes! Carpenter ants are larger (up to 1/2 inch) and can cause structural damage by tunneling through wood to build nests, unlike regular sugar ants that just forage for food. Carpenter ants are common in Washington, Idaho, and Oregon where moisture and wood are abundant. They don't eat wood but excavate it, leaving behind sawdust-like debris. If you see large black ants or wood shavings, call us immediately at (509) 471-5767. Our carpenter ant specialists can prevent costly damage.

QUESTION:What attracts ants to homes in Washington and Oregon?

ANSWER:Ants are attracted to food sources (especially sweets and proteins), moisture from leaks or humidity, and shelter from weather. In Washington and Oregon, spring and summer bring increased ant activity as colonies expand. Common entry points include cracks in foundations, gaps around pipes, and openings near windows. Our integrated pest management approach addresses all these factors. We also serve Idaho and Arizona where different ant species require specialized treatments. Read our ant prevention tips.
