Effective Ant Control for Homes And Properties
Stop Ants at the Source with Proven, Professional Treatment If you’ve spotted a line of ants trailing across your kitchen or patio, chances are they’ve already invited the rest of the colony. Ants may be small, but they’re incredibly persistent—and without proper treatment, they can quickly overrun your home or yard. Whether they’re seeking food, water, or shelter from outdoor conditions, ants can easily find their way inside—and once they do, they don’t leave quietly.
At Blackwood Pest Solutions, we offer targeted, prevention-focused ant control designed to eliminate active infestations and stop them from coming back. Our trained technicians identify the source, treat the nest, and seal off the points of entry—delivering long-term protection without the guesswork.

Why Ants Are a Problem in Homes
Ants aren’t just a nuisance—they’re a health and property risk. Here’s why you shouldn’t ignore them:
- Food Contamination – Ants crawl across counters, sinks, and food surfaces, spreading bacteria.
- Structural Damage – Carpenter ants can tunnel through wood, compromising your home’s integrity.
- Painful Bites or Stings – Certain species deliver painful stings that can cause allergic reactions.
Massive Colonies – Many ants live in large, hidden colonies that require professional-grade treatments to fully eliminate.
Common Mistakes Homeowners Make With Ants
Trying to tackle ants on your own often leads to frustration. Here are a few mistakes we see all the time:
- Using the Wrong Bait – Not all ants eat the same thing. Using store-bought bait without identifying the species won’t solve the problem.
- Spraying Visible Trails – Killing surface ants won’t kill the colony. In fact, it can cause them to scatter and form new nests.
- Ignoring Entry Points – Small cracks, door gaps, and wall voids are easy access points. Without sealing them, ants will return.
- Not Treating the Source – Surface treatments only target the ants you see. We target the nest to eliminate the problem completely.

FAQs About Ant Control
What types of ants do you treat?
We treat a wide range of ant species, including Argentine ants, odorous house ants, carpenter ants, fire ants, pavement ants, and more. Identifying the species is key to choosing the right treatment strategy.
Why do ants keep coming back after I spray them?
Spraying visible ants may kill a few on contact, but it doesn’t address the colony. In fact, it can cause the colony to split (a process called “budding”), making the infestation worse. Professional treatments target the source—the nest—to eliminate the entire colony.
How do ants get into my house?
Ants enter through tiny cracks, gaps in windows and doors, or openings around plumbing and electrical lines. Once inside, they follow scent trails left by other ants to food, water, or shelter. We help identify and seal these access points.
Is your treatment safe for pets and kids?
Yes. We use EPA-registered products that are professionally applied to target ants while being safe for people and pets when used as directed. Your safety is a top priority, and we take great care in how and where treatments are applied. We’ll always explain any safety precautions necessary based on the location of the nest and type of treatment used.
How long does it take to get rid of an ant infestation?
You may see a reduction in activity within hours, but full colony elimination can take several days depending on the severity of the infestation and species. We monitor progress and offer follow-up options when needed.
Do I need ongoing ant control?
Not always. Some infestations can be handled with one or two treatments. However, in areas with recurring ant activity or favorable conditions (like moisture or food sources), seasonal or quarterly treatments may be recommended for long-term protection.
Can I prevent ants from coming back?
Yes! Keep food sealed, clean up spills quickly, eliminate moisture around the home, and seal cracks or entry points. Our technicians also provide custom prevention tips based on your specific property.
