Ant Control — London, Ontario
Ant Control in London, Ontario — Species First, Then the Right Treatment
Spraying visible ants rarely solves an ant problem — and sometimes makes it worse. We identify the species, locate the colony, and apply the treatment that addresses the source.
Signs You May Have a Problem
- Trails of ants across countertops, windowsills, or along baseboards
- Sawdust-like frass near wood structures (sign of carpenter ants)
- Ant activity near moisture sources — sinks, dishwashers, window frames
- Small mounds of soil near the foundation or in cracks in concrete
- Winged ants emerging indoors (a sign of a mature colony nearby)
- Ant activity in wall voids or hollow wooden structures
Why Acting Early Matters
- Carpenter ants excavate wood — active galleries in structural lumber cause real damage over time
- Using repellent sprays on pavement ants or pharaoh ants causes colony fragmentation (budding)
- Pharaoh ants are a serious concern in healthcare settings and food handling environments
- Untreated colonies grow steadily through spring and summer
- Misidentification leads to wrong treatments — and ongoing problems
Our Ant Control Process
Clear steps — no surprises.
Species Identification
We confirm the ant species — pavement ant, carpenter ant, odorous house ant, or pharaoh ant — because each requires a different approach.
Colony Location
We trace the forager trail to identify the colony location or primary entry point. For carpenter ants, we inspect for frass and damaged wood.
Targeted Treatment
Non-repellent bait for most species. Void injection or direct nest treatment for carpenter ants. No guessing.
Perimeter Exclusion
We identify and advise on structural gaps, vegetation contact, and moisture sources that contribute to ant pressure.
Follow-Up Assessment
A follow-up confirms the colony has been addressed and checks bait uptake or re-infestation pressure.
What to Expect: Timeline
Bait programs for pavement and odorous house ants show results within 1–2 weeks. Carpenter ant treatments require 2–4 weeks for full confirmation. Perimeter spray treatments take effect within 24–48 hours.
Pricing Guidance
Starting from $125
Pricing varies by species, infestation extent, and property size. Carpenter ant treatments with void injection are priced separately due to the specialized work involved. Free quote provided after inspection.
