Jurupa Valley, CA's Colony-Elimination Ant Specialists

Spraying the visible trail kills foragers but leaves the colony and queen untouched, and often causes the colony to split and relocate, making the problem worse.

Look for larger ants and fine wood-shaving debris — carpenter ants excavate wood and leave frass behind as a byproduct.

Colony elimination via bait typically takes one to two weeks as the product spreads through the nest.

Fire ant colonies can have multiple mounds, so we typically combine spot mound treatment with a wider bait application.

Colony elimination clears the current infestation; a seasonal perimeter program helps prevent new colonies from establishing afterward.

Bait stations are designed for targeted placement in areas away from pet access, and we can discuss specific placement concerns during scheduling. It also helps to keep mulch beds pulled back a few inches from the foundation, since that gap alone reduces ant bridge points significantly.
