Ant Control

Ant Control in Sacramento, CA

Quick & Convenient Services from Local Ant Exterminators

When it comes to pests, big trouble can come in some pretty small packages. Ants are one such example. Despite the fact that ants are some of the smallest members of the animal kingdom, the impact they can have on your property is nothing short of immense. Ants can quickly get into your food supply wherever it might be, as well as invade your trash and even descend upon some crumbs or an old sugary drink spill you may have forgotten about. And once they get in, getting them out is extremely difficult.

Pest Pros Pest Solutions offers an effective and eco-friendly solution to your ant problem. We utilize safe and effective products that both get rid of the ants you have and prevent new ones from finding their way in. Our staff of highly-trained technicians deliver Sacramento ant control that targets your problem at its source and helps you keep them away for good.

Common Ant Infestation Signs

Ants most commonly invade kitchens and bathrooms, but homeowners can also find them in multiple areas throughout the home. Most varieties of ants are merely just a household nuisance, but some varieties can cause health concerns, bodily harm, or structural damage to your home (for example, Carpenter ants can cause serious property damage as they build gallery passageways through wood framing to create their nests inside the structure).

Some ants may live primarily in the walls and plumbing where you never see them. So how do you know you have an ant infestation? These are common signs to look out for:

Ant trails and a pathway of ants where there is a water source
Ant nests that look like piles of soil or dirt
Wood shavings where carpenter ants may have caused issues
Dirt piles where ants are nesting
Power surges as ants love to infest fuse boxes
Scuttling or scraping noises within the walls and ceiling
Holes chewed in cardboard food packaging

What Types of Ants Are Found in the Sacramento Area?

There are thousands of different species of ant on the planet, and each type of ant has its own characteristics and tendencies. What works well for one particular type of ant invasion may not work as well for another, and that means a blanket or single-method approach typically doesn’t give great results.

At Pest Pros Pest Solutions, we specialize our treatments to your problem and offer specific services that treat hotspots for whatever type of ants you may have. We treat numerous varieties of ants commonly found throughout Northern California, making us your one-call solution for any residential ant issues you might have.

Our Sacramento ant control services can help with all of the following:

Argentine ants
Pavement ants
Pharaoh ants
Carpenter ants
Fire ants

When are Ants Most Active in Northern California?

The hot summer months are when ants and other insect populations tend to increase. As summer temperatures increase, landscapes dry out, driving Argentine ants (the most prevalent species in Northern California) into homes, searching for food and water. These pests prefer to nest in soil and often find everything they need to sustain their colony in the landscape around the exterior of your home.

When weather conditions are not favorable (either too wet, too cold, or too warm), they will seek out food, water and sometimes shelter in more favorable areas (again, homes are the perfect spot). Thus, ant infestations are essentially a year-round problem.

Commonly Asked Questions

How can I prevent ants from entering my home?

To prevent ants from entering your home, make sure to keep your kitchen and dining areas clean, store food in airtight containers, seal cracks and crevices around your home, and keep your outdoor areas tidy and free of debris.

Are DIY ant control methods effective?

While some DIY ant control methods may provide temporary relief, they often do not address the root of the problem. Professional ant control services use specialized products and techniques to effectively eliminate ants and prevent future infestations.

What are the potential health risks associated with ant infestations?

Ant infestations can lead to contamination of food and surfaces, posing potential health risks. Some ant species can also cause allergic reactions and bites, leading to discomfort and potential health complications.

Do ants cause structural damage to homes?

Certain ant species, such as Carpenter ants, can cause structural damage to homes by tunneling through wood. It's important to address ant infestations promptly to prevent potential structural issues.

Ant-Free Zone: Effective Ways to Get Rid of Ants

Ants might be tiny, but their presence can cause big headaches. If you're tired of seeing these pesky creatures marching around your home, it's time to take action. Here are some effective methods to get rid of ants:

Seal Entry Points: Ants can find even the tiniest openings to enter your home. Inspect doors, windows, and cracks in walls, and seal them with caulk or weatherstripping. This will create a barrier to keep ants from sneaking in.
Cleanliness is Key: Ants are attracted to food sources, so keep your kitchen and dining area clean. Wipe down surfaces, clean up spills promptly, and store food in airtight containers. Don't forget to take out the trash regularly.
Lemon Juice: Ants hate the scent of lemon. Mix equal parts lemon juice and water and spray it around entry points, baseboards, and ant trails. The citrusy smell will deter them from entering.
Borax and Sugar Trap: Create a simple yet effective ant bait by mixing equal parts borax and sugar. The sugar will attract the ants, and the borax will act as a toxin that they take back to the colony, eliminating them at the source.
Diatomaceous Earth: This natural powder is harmless to humans and pets but lethal to ants. Sprinkle it along ant trails and entry points. The sharp particles will penetrate their exoskeleton, causing dehydration and death.
Cinnamon: Scatter cinnamon powder around areas prone to ant activity. The spice's strong aroma disrupts their pheromone trails, disorienting and deterring them.
Vinegar Solution: Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water and spray it directly on ants and their trails. The acidic nature of vinegar disrupts their scent trails and repels them.
Professional Pest Control: If the ant infestation persists despite your efforts, it's time to call in the experts. Professional pest control services can accurately identify the ant species and implement targeted treatments for effective eradication.

By following these tips, you can create an ant-free zone and enjoy a pest-free home. Remember, persistence is key, and staying proactive in preventing ant invasions will help keep them at bay for good.

How to Prevent Ant Infestation

You can spend quite a bit of money purchasing baits and other materials online or from your local hardware store to battle an ant infestation, but prevention is always the best method. With these tips you may just save your money and more importantly your sanity, by preventing an invasion long before it ever develops.

The following are important measures to take to avoid an ant infestation:

Securely store food tight containers
Don't leave pet food out
Clean your floors (sweep & mop)
Repair water leaks that may draw ants
Seal entry points where ants may come inside
