Common Ants We Treat in Vernon

Odorous House Ants (“Sugar Ants”)

Small dark ants trailing to food and moisture sources. We use targeted baits and non-repellent treatments so workers carry the product back to the colony for complete knockdown.

Carpenter Ants

Large black ants that nest in damp or damaged wood (sills, decks, window frames). They don’t eat wood but hollow it out to build galleries — causing structural damage over time. Our program pairs moisture reduction tips with precise treatment to eliminate satellite colonies.

Our Ant Treatment Process

  • Inspection: Locate trails, moisture sources, conducive conditions, and entry points.
  • Interior Control: Non-repellent baits and crack-and-crevice applications where activity is found.
  • Exterior Defense: Foundation perimeter treatment, entry point sealing guidance, and nest targeting.
  • Follow-Up: Re-inspection and adjustments if activity persists.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if they’re carpenter ants?

Look for large black ants, piles of sawdust-like frass, faint rustling in walls, or winged ants indoors. We can confirm species during an inspection.

Are your ant treatments safe for kids and pets?

Yes. We use family- and pet-safe methods with precise, minimal applications. A botanical (natural) option is also available.

Do you offer one-time ant treatments?

Absolutely. Many Vernon customers start with a one-time service and then move to a plan for year-round prevention.

Will you treat both inside and outside?

Yes. We combine indoor baiting with an exterior perimeter and entry-point strategy for lasting results.

How fast will I see results?

Nuisance ants typically drop within a few days; carpenter ant colonies may take a bit longer as product works through the network. We include follow-ups as needed.
