Spokane Valley ant calls start in spring and keep going all summer. Watered lawns and landscaping beds give ants the moisture they need, and they follow it right into kitchens and bathrooms.
Pavement ants are everywhere in Spokane Valley subdivisions, pushing up little piles of sand along driveways, patios and foundations. Sugar ants (odorous house ants) trail into kitchens in Greenacres, Veradale and Opportunity, especially after a hot spell. Homes near the Dishman Hills and the pines in the Ponderosa area also see carpenter ants coming in from the trees.
Pavement ants, odorous house (sugar) ants and carpenter ants each need a different approach, so we start by figuring out which one you have.
Workers carry slow-acting bait back to the nest, which reaches the queen. Spraying sugar ants alone can make the colony split into more nests.
We treat the foundation and the trails ants use to get inside.
For carpenter ants, we look for the damp wood they nest in, like leaky decks, rotting fascia and wood touching soil.
Common ants are covered by our general pest control plans, which start at $41 a month, with a $125 first service on a 12-month agreement. Carpenter ant nests inside walls can need extra work, and we'll quote that after the inspection. Our 365 Pest Free Guarantee means that if ants come back between visits, so do we, at no extra charge.

Carpenter ants are big, usually black or black and red, and up to half an inch long. Look for piles of fine sawdust (called frass) under windows, decks or baseboards, and ants inside in early spring before it's warm outside. Unlike termites, they don't eat wood, but they do hollow it out to nest.
