Ants are a common nuisance in our area and across the country, often invading homes and businesses in search of food, water, and shelter, particularly during warmer months.

From thorough inspections to targeted treatments on the interior and exterior of your property, we’ll work tirelessly to eliminate the ant infestation so you can enjoy the healthy environment you deserve. 

Identifying an Ant Infestation in Minneapolis

Ants are highly coordinated insects with distinct social structures, allowing them to quickly establish a colony once a source of food has been found. Early detection is vital, so keep an eye out for these key indicators of ants in your home.

• Ant trails. Ants often form visible trails as they forage for food, particularly in kitchen areas and near food sources. They follow pheromone trails left by scouts, which is why they tend to follow the same path to and from food sources. 
• Ant mounds. Outdoor ant mounds, especially near foundations or in landscaping beds, may indicate an infestation. Ants can, however, establish a colony inside your walls, making early identification essential. 
• Piles of frass. Carpenter ants leave behind piles of sawdust-like material, known as frass, near nesting sites. They often contain bits of insulation and deceased ants, making them easy to identify.

Getting Rid of Ants in Minneapolis

We take a nuanced approach to ant control with a diverse range of treatment options that we customize for each situation. Our comprehensive services include ant baiting with strategically placed baits to attract and eliminate ant colonies, even if their source is hard to identify. 

Crack and crevice treatments are the next step involving the precise application of insecticides to ant entry points and hiding spots, targeting infestations directly. We also offer exterior perimeter treatments to create a protective barrier around your home or business, deterring ants from entering and causing further disruption. 

Ant Preventive Pest Control

Ant prevention starts with awareness. Throughout our inspection, our technicians provide valuable advice on reducing attractants like food crumbs and moisture and addressing entry points to prevent ant intrusion. With your help spotting the signs of infestation and our pest control expertise, we can work together to stop the spread of ants before serious intervention is required.
