Our Ant Control Process
Step 1: Free Inspection
We inspect your Camas home β kitchen, bathrooms, foundation, landscaping, and crawlspaces β 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 β both indoors and outdoors.
Step 6: Ongoing Prevention
We recommend quarterly exterior treatments to maintain protection, especially during spring and summer peak ant seasons.
