No ContractsStop the Invasion—Eliminate the Entire Colony, Not Just the Ants You See
Tired of ants coming back no matter what you spray? Store-bought products only kill the ants you see—while colonies of 500,000+ keep sending more. Our 3-step approach uses non-repellent liquid treatments that ants walk through unknowingly and pass to each other at rapid rates, professional baits carried back to the queen, and granular applications that redirect activity away from your home. The result: colony elimination at the source. Most customers see significant reduction within days, with full control in 1-2 weeks.

Species We Treat
The Barrier Method
Three simple steps to a pest-free home. Guaranteed.
Investigate
We don't just spray where you saw ants. We track trails to their source, identify the species, find entry points, and discover what's attracting them in the first place.
What we look for:
- Ant trails along foundations, fences, and landscaping
- Entry points: sliding doors, window frames, pipe penetrations
- Nesting sites in walls, under slabs, or in yard debris
- Attractants like food residue, moisture, or pet bowls
- Species identification—carpenter ants require different treatment
Eliminate
Our 3-step treatment attacks ants at every level: immediate knockdown, colony elimination through bait transfer, and exterior redirection to keep activity away from your home.
Treatment areas:
- Foundation perimeter and all entry points
- Interior baiting under sinks, behind appliances, in wall voids
- Exterior gel and granular baits at trails and hotspots
- Eaves, window frames, and door thresholds
- Fence lines, walkways, and landscape beds
- Pet and garden areas treated with care—we avoid vegetable gardens
Protect
After treatment, you may still see ants for a few days—that's actually good. They're carrying bait back to the colony. We'll follow up and return free of charge if issues persist.
What to expect:
- Noticeable reduction within 3-4 days
- Full colony control typically within 1-2 weeks
- Do not spray store-bought products—they interfere with baits
- Free callbacks if ants persist between services
- Ongoing monitoring at every scheduled visit
- Tips to reduce attractants and prevent future invasions

Frequently Asked Questions About Ant Control
Why do I still see ants a few days after treatment?
This is actually a good sign. Unlike contact sprays that only kill ants on the spot, our professional baits are designed to be carried back to the colony. The ants you see are worker ants transporting the product to the queen and nest. Disrupting them now would reduce effectiveness. Most customers see significant reduction within 3-4 days, with full colony elimination in 1-2 weeks.
Should I spray store-bought products after you treat?
No—please avoid over-the-counter sprays or insecticides. These products repel and scatter ants, which can actually make the problem harder to control as ants start showing up in other areas around your home. They also prevent ants from picking up our baits, which need to be carried back to the colony to eliminate the queen. Let our treatment work undisturbed. If you're still seeing heavy activity after a few days, give us a call.
What can I do for immediate relief while waiting for treatment?
If ants are on your counters and you need quick relief before or after our visit, use soapy water or a glass cleaner like Windex to wipe them away. This removes ants without the repellent effect of store-bought sprays, so it won't scatter them to other areas or interfere with our professional baits.
Why do I keep seeing ants even after DIY spraying?
Store-bought sprays kill only the ants you see—typically less than 10% of the colony. A single ant nest can contain over 500,000 ants, and they'll keep sending more. Our approach combines immediate knockdown with baits that get transferred throughout the colony, eliminating the queen and stopping reproduction at the source.
What types of ants are common in Sacramento?
The most common species we treat include Argentine ants (the tiny trailing ants invading kitchens), odorous house ants (smell like coconut when crushed), pavement ants, and carpenter ants. Carpenter ants are especially concerning because they tunnel through wood and can cause structural damage—they require a more intensive treatment approach.
Is your treatment safe for my pets and garden?
Yes. Our technicians are trained to avoid vegetable gardens, fruit trees, and areas where pets eat or play. We strategically place baits in locations accessible to ants but not to children or pets, and we'll communicate exactly where products are applied. Treated areas are safe once dry, typically within 30 minutes to an hour.
How can I help prevent ants from coming back?
Ants can smell food better than dogs—even tiny residue attracts them. Wipe down surfaces and clean up crumbs promptly, store food in sealed containers, take out trash regularly, and fix any water leaks (ants need moisture too). Our technicians often identify the specific attractant during inspection and will share recommendations in your service report.
What if ants come back between treatments?
Our service includes a year-round warranty. If ants persist between scheduled visits, call us and we'll return at no additional cost to retreat problem areas. After every service, you'll receive a detailed report showing what we found, what we treated, and specific recommendations to help keep ants away.
