Common Ant Problems
Ant Problems We Treat
Ant problems are not all the same. Some ants invade kitchens and bathrooms. Others build mounds in the lawn. Carpenter ants may nest near moisture-damaged wood. The right treatment depends on the ant species, where they are nesting, and why they are active.
Ants in Kitchens and Bathrooms
Ants often enter homes looking for food, water, and shelter. Kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, pantries, and areas around plumbing are common trouble spots.
Fire Ant Mounds in the Yard
Fire ant mounds can show up in lawns, along sidewalks, near driveways, and around outdoor living spaces. Treatment may include mound treatment, baiting, or a broader yard-focused approach depending on the level of activity.
Carpenter Ant Activity
Carpenter ants do not eat wood like termites, but they can tunnel through wood to create nesting space. Activity near damp wood, window frames, trim, decks, or wall voids should be inspected.
Recurring Ant Trails
If ants keep coming back after cleaning or spraying, the colony, entry point, food source, or moisture source may still be active. Professional ant control looks beyond the ants you can see.
Ants Around Patios and Foundations
Ants often nest around mulch beds, foundation gaps, landscaping, patios, and exterior walls before moving indoors. Exterior inspection is an important part of long-term ant control.
Commercial Ant Problems
Ant activity in offices, restaurants, warehouses, retail spaces, and customer-facing businesses can affect cleanliness, customer confidence, and daily operations.
Our Process
How Slade Pest Solutions Gets Rid of Ants
Ant control works best when the treatment is matched to the ant species and the source of activity. Spraying the ants you see may only provide short-term relief if the colony and entry points are not addressed.
Identify the Ant Species
Fire ants, carpenter ants, odorous house ants, acrobat ants, and other nuisance ants behave differently. We start by identifying the ant and the conditions attracting it.
Find the Source
We inspect trails, entry points, moisture areas, exterior nesting sites, wall voids, landscaping, foundation gaps, and food sources to understand where the activity is coming from.
Apply Targeted Treatment
Depending on the ant species and the property, treatment may include baiting, mound treatment, exterior perimeter treatment, crack-and-crevice applications, or targeted indoor treatment.
Reduce Future Activity
After treatment, we help identify conditions that may bring ants back, including moisture, open food sources, mulch against the foundation, vegetation touching the structure, or gaps around doors and utility lines.

Why Ants Return
Why Ants Keep Coming Back
If ants keep returning, the visible ants may not be the real problem. Ant colonies can remain active outside, inside wall voids, near moisture, or around the foundation even after surface-level treatment.
Food Sources
Crumbs, spills, pet food, open containers, grease, and trash can attract ants and keep trails active.
Moisture
Leaky pipes, damp wood, standing water, clogged gutters, and humid areas can make a property more attractive to ants.
Entry Points
Ants can enter through small cracks, gaps around windows and doors, utility penetrations, foundation openings, and exterior wall gaps.
Prevention
How to Help Prevent Ant Problems
Professional treatment is important when ants keep returning, but prevention also matters. These steps can help reduce ant activity around your home or business.
- Clean up crumbs, spills, grease, and food residue.
- Store pantry food and pet food in sealed containers.
- Fix plumbing leaks and reduce standing water.
- Keep gutters clean and direct water away from the foundation.
- Seal gaps around doors, windows, pipes, and utility lines.
- Trim vegetation away from the structure.
- Move mulch, debris, and firewood away from exterior walls.
- Watch for fire ant mounds around lawns, patios, sidewalks, and driveways.
