Ants in your home? Get connected with a local pest control pro
A few ants on the counter usually means a colony in the walls, under the slab or in the yard. Different ants need different treatments: sugar ants, pavement ants, carpenter ants and fire ants all behave differently. A pest control provider can identify the ant and treat the colony, not just the ones you can see.

Signs of ants
- Trails of ants along counters, baseboards or window sills
- Small piles of soil near slabs, walls or cracks
- Fine sawdust (frass) near wood, a sign of carpenter ants

Why it's worth getting help
- Carpenter ants hollow out damp wood and can damage a home over time.
- Fire ants sting, and some people react badly to stings.
- Store-bought sprays often split colonies and spread the problem.
What a local provider does
- Identify the ant species and find the colony
- Use baits and targeted treatments that reach the nest

Questions people ask
Why do ants keep coming back?
Because the colony is still there. Killing the workers you see doesn't reach the queen. Baits and targeted treatments are what end the problem.
