- Moisture – Leaky pipes, damp basements, humid bathrooms, standing water (common in PNW)

✅ Our Ant Control Process
Step 1: Free Inspection
We inspect your home – kitchen, bathrooms, foundation, landscaping, and crawlspaces – to identify ant species, nesting sites, and entry points.
Step 2: Identify Ant Species
Different ants require different treatments. We identify the exact species to ensure effective elimination.
Step 3: Exterior Barrier Treatment
We apply a professional-grade liquid barrier around your foundation, door thresholds, windows, and other entry points. This kills ants on contact and prevents new invaders.
Step 4: Interior Targeted Treatment
We treat baseboards, corners, under sinks, behind appliances, and other hiding spots with safe, targeted ant baits and sprays.
Step 5: Nest Elimination
For carpenter ants and moisture ants, we locate and treat nests directly – both indoors and outdoors.
Step 6: Ongoing Prevention
We recommend quarterly exterior treatments to maintain protection, especially during spring and summer peak ant seasons.

Q: Why do I keep seeing ants in my home even after cleaning?
A: Ants leave pheromone trails that other ants follow. Even if you clean, the trail remains. Our treatment breaks the trail and eliminates the colony.
Q: How long does ant treatment last?
A: Our exterior barrier treatments typically last 3-4 months. We recommend quarterly treatments during peak seasons.
Q: Is ant treatment safe for my pets and children?
A: Yes. Our treatments are pet-safe and child-safe once dry (about 30-60 minutes). We also offer eco-friendly options.
Q: How much does ant control cost?
A: Call for a free estimate. Pricing depends on home size, ant species, and infestation level.
Q: Do you treat carpenter ants that are damaging my wood?
A: Absolutely. We locate the nest, eliminate the colony, and provide recommendations for repairing damage and preventing future infestations.
Q: Are moisture ants common in the Pacific Northwest?
A: Yes. Moisture ants are very common due to our damp climate. They are often found in crawlspaces, bathrooms, and areas with leaky pipes.
