Our Comprehensive Ant Control Service
Our ant control service is tailored to address the specific needs of your property and the type of ant infestation you are facing. We use a combination of proven techniques and eco-friendly products to ensure effective and long-lasting results.
Inspection and Identification
We begin with a thorough inspection of your property to identify the ant species, locate their nesting sites, and assess the extent of the infestation. Correct identification is crucial for choosing the most effective treatment method. This might involve looking at common entry points and even recommending repairs to the structure to prevent further nesting or infiltration.
Treatment Plan
Based on our findings, we develop a customized treatment plan that targets the ants at their source. Our treatments may include:
Baiting Systems
Strategic placement of ant baits to attract and eliminate ant colonies. Ants carry the bait back to their nest, effectively poisoning the entire colony.
Perimeter Treatments
Application of residual insecticides around the exterior of your property to create a barrier that prevents ants from entering. We can also advise on vegetation management, since plant life often provides pathways for ants.
Interior Treatments
Targeted application of insecticides to areas where ants are commonly found, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and entry points. We can also identify moisture issues that might be attracting ants to the interior of your home.
Preventative Measures
In addition to eliminating existing ant infestations, we provide recommendations for preventing future problems, such as sealing cracks and crevices, eliminating food sources, and maintaining a clean environment. Our spider control services can also ensure other pests do not start to create entry points that allow ants easy access into the home.

Knowing when to call a professional for ant control can save you from extensive property damage and health hazards. Here are some key signs indicating it's time to seek help from Cary Pest Pros:
Visible Ant Trails
Sign: Constant trails of ants marching across your floors, countertops, or walls are a clear indication of an infestation.Why it Matters: These trails lead to food sources and nesting areas, suggesting a larger colony is present. Ignoring these trails can lead to a rapid increase in the ant population, making control more difficult. You also might have children or pets who eat these ants, which may be toxic.
Ant Nests
Sign: Discovering ant nests in your yard, under your foundation, or inside your home is a sure sign of a problem.Why it Matters: Nests indicate a well-established ant colony that requires professional treatment to eliminate. Nests can cause structural damage, especially if they are located within wooden structures. If these are not treated, they lead to additional pest problems.
Food Contamination
Sign: Finding ants in your food or seeing them crawling on food preparation surfaces.Why it Matters: Ants can contaminate food with bacteria and pathogens, posing a health risk. Discarding contaminated food and hiring professionals to eliminate the ants will mitigate these risks and make sure that no one gets sick.
Structural Damage

Early detection and professional treatment are crucial to prevent costly repairs. Additionally, we often get contracted on our rodent control services because damaged wood often leads to easy entry points for rats and other rodents.
Persistent Ant Presence
