Ants we see in Dallas homes
Different ants need different treatments, so we figure out which one you have first.
Odorous house ants
Tiny dark ants that march in lines across kitchen counters and bathrooms. They smell like rotten coconut when crushed.
Fire ants
Reddish ants that build dirt mounds in lawns and flower beds, and sting when disturbed.
Carpenter ants
Large black ants that tunnel into damp or damaged wood around windows, decks and rooflines.
Pavement ants
Small brown ants that nest under driveways, sidewalks and slabs, often leaving little piles of dirt in the cracks.
How we get rid of ants
Four steps to get them out and keep them out.
We target the colony
Ants carry our treatment back to the nest, so the whole colony goes, not just the ones you see.
We protect the outside
We treat around your home and yard to stop new ants before they reach your door.
We come back each season
Regular visits keep new ants from moving back in.
Ants are covered under General Pest Control.
Starting at $47/month, with seasonal visits and no contract. If ants come back between visits, so do we.

Ant control questions
Still wondering about something? Give us a call. A real person answers during business hours.
How much does ant control cost?
Ants are covered under our General Pest Control plan, starting at $47 a month. Your final price depends on your home's size, and we'll confirm it before we start. Only need a one-time treatment? Give us a call for a quote.
Why do ants keep coming back?
Most ants live outside, and North Texas has a lot of them. Treating the colony and protecting your home every season is what keeps them from finding their way back in.
Why didn't store-bought spray work?
Sprays kill the ants you can see, but the colony keeps going. Some kinds of ants even split into new colonies when they're sprayed, which can make the problem worse.
How long until the ants are gone?
Most people see a big difference within a few days. You might notice more ants at first while they carry the treatment back to the nest. That means it's working.
Do you treat fire ants?
Yes. We treat the whole yard, not just the mounds you can see, so the colony doesn't just move a few feet over.
Are carpenter ants eating my house?
They don't eat wood, but they tunnel into it to build nests, usually where it's already damp or damaged. Finding them can be a sign of a moisture problem worth fixing.
What if I see ants between visits?
Give us a call and we'll come back out at no charge.
Is it safe for my kids and pets?
Yes. We apply every product according to its label and Texas Department of Agriculture rules. Keep people and pets inside during the service and for about an hour after.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. You can cancel anytime.
