Why do I have ants in my house?

Seeking shelter from the elements or seeking a source of food or water, ants are always looking for a reason to come inside your home. Ants can build colonies right outside your home and easily make their way in without proper pest control management.

Does ant spray work?

Ant colonies consist of over 100 thousand ants. Ant spray can help you get rid of the few ants you see crawling across your counter, but there will be more where that came from. Orkin treatments provide a much more effective and permanent solution.

How to Find an Ant Nest

Locating an ant colony can be a difficult task. Ants can nest deep inside the ground or high above in trees. Orkin Pros can help you track them down and keep them out of your home.

Our ant treatment approach

We know how to find where ants are coming from

With over 15,000 different species of ants, getting rid of them requires a tailored solution. Orkin Pros are trained to diagnose and treat ant problems unique to your home. They work with you to customize an ant pest control service for your situation.

Inspect

We begin with a thorough inspection to identify ant species, locate trails and nests, and uncover the food, water, or structural conditions that allow ants to enter and thrive in your home.

Diagnose

Using expert knowledge of over 15,000 ant species, we determine which type you’re dealing with, like fire ants or acrobat ants, and identify the underlying factors, such as exterior colonies or interior attractants, driving the infestation.

Protect

We locate nesting sites and apply targeted treatments, using insecticides and other products as needed, while sealing entry points to stop ants from re‑establishing their trails and colonies.

Monitor

We install monitors in key areas like kitchens, bathrooms, utility rooms, and garages to track ant activity and return promptly if new movement is detected.

Report

After each visit, we provide a detailed ant service report outlining what was found, how it was treated, and specific prevention steps to help keep ants from returning.

Pest Control and Safety

Pet-friendly pest control for your home

Orkin's exclusive Points of Service™ approach strives to provide pest control in the safest possible manner. Your home, family, and pets are always considered when applying pesticides to surface areas in and around your home.

Is there pet-safe pest control?

Pesticides for household insects are designed to be applied at low concentrations effectively killing small insects but with no threat to people or pets. For added safety, pets should be kept from the treated area until the surface area dries.
