Ant Control in Maryland, DC, and Virginia

Our Ant Control Elimination Process

Our service pros quickly identify and target treatments based on an ant's unique biology, preferred habitat, and response to treatment methods such as baiting or sprays.

• Identify - the type of ant invading your home or business.
• Locate - find and eliminate nesting sites indoors and on the exterior.
• Treatment - treat the exterior along the foundation and other areas appealing to ant colonies.
• Prevention - spray ant trails and hills outside routinely to prevent recurrent infestations.

Types of Ants We Treat

• Odorous house ants - little black ants known to invade kitchens and bathrooms, prevalent all year but particularly active in spring and summer.
• Carpenter ants - large black ants that nest in wood and cause structural damage, mostly active at night.
• Pavement ants - small brown ants that build characteristic ant hills along walkways, patios, and in yards.

Why Cleaning Alone Doesn't Stop Them

Ants leave behind pheromone trails that guide other members of the colony to food and water. Wiping down surfaces removes the ants themselves but doesn't fully disrupt those signals - and spraying ants on contact can cause a colony to split into multiple satellite colonies. Professional ant control targets the colony itself, working with ant biology rather than against it.
