Ant Control in Orange County

Ants are one of the most common, and stubborn, pest problems in Orange County homes. Argentine ants, in particular, form massive colonies that flood kitchens and bathrooms during summer and after rain. Odorous house ants give off a smell when crushed, and each species brings its own challenge. Once inside, ants contaminate food surfaces, interrupt daily routines, and can make even clean homes feel invaded. Colonies often have multiple queens and span huge areas, making store-bought sprays ineffective. Without a targeted, strategic approach that reaches the source, the problem doesn’t go away. Instead, it spreads and gets worse over time.

We begin with a full-property inspection to pinpoint entry points, moisture conditions, and pheromone trails that ants use to navigate. Our licensed technician identifies the specific species, such as Argentine or odorous house ants, since each requires a unique treatment strategy. We deploy slow-acting, non-repellent baits and insect growth regulators (IGRs), which ants carry back to the colony. This allows us to target the reproductive cycle and eliminate the colony at its source, not just the visible workers. For exterior control, we treat common nesting zones with eco-safe, residual products that bond to surfaces without over-applying. Finally, we apply a long-lasting perimeter barrier and recommend sealing access points to prevent future infestations. This multi-step process is built for accuracy, efficiency, and long-term control, without relying on harsh blanket sprays.
