Professional Ant Removal Service — Your Trusted Solution for Ant-Free Living
Ants invading your kitchen or tunneling through wood aren’t just annoying — they risk hygiene and property. We locate nests, eliminate colonies, seal entry points, and prevent return.
Rapid Identification • Targeted Treatment • Lasting Prevention
We identify species, remove the colony source, apply baiting & exclusion, and follow up to confirm eradication.
Understanding Your Ant Problem: Identification & Impact
Ants contaminate food, spread bacteria, and some species (carpenter ants) damage wood. Correct species identification is critical so we can target the nest — not only surface workers.
Quick prevention steps (before we arrive)
- Wipe spills & remove food trails
- Store dry goods and pet food in airtight containers
- Clear debris touching the house and trim vegetation
Common Ants in Mississauga — ID & Risk
| Ant Type | Appearance | Common Location | Potential Damage / Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pavement Ant | Dark brown to black, ~1/8″, fine grooves on head | Cracks in pavement, foundations; indoors near kitchens | Nuisance; contaminates food; nests in walls/insulation |
| Odorous House Ant | Dark brown/black, 1/16–1/8″; smells of “rotten coconut” when crushed | Moist areas: under sinks, behind baseboards, mulch beds | Large satellite colonies; contaminates food; hard to eliminate |
| Carpenter Ant | Large (¼–½″), black or red/black; single node | Damp/decaying wood: fascia, eaves, attics, subfloor | Structural damage; frass (wood shavings) near nests |
| Pharaoh Ant | Tiny (1/16″), yellow/light brown with darker abdomen | Warm, humid indoor sites: wall voids, medical & food sites | Transmits pathogens; colonizes sterile areas; difficult to control |
Expert tip: correct ID = targeted treatment. Our techs perform on-site species checks before applying any product.
Why ants are more than just a nuisance
Ants can spread bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli, contaminate surfaces, and some species damage wood. Professional assessment tells us whether you're facing contamination or structural risk.
- Health risk via contamination
- Structural risk with carpenter ants
- Business risk: reputational and regulatory exposure
Why professional ant removal works
DIY sprays kill visible ants but not the nest. We locate colonies, use bait transfer strategies, apply non-repellent products, and seal entry points to prevent reinfestation.
Comprehensive Ant Removal — Beautifully executed, step by step
1. Inspection & Species ID
We perform a full interior and exterior survey: trails, entry points, nest locations and foraging patterns are mapped precisely.
2. Customized Treatment Plan
A tailored strategy specifying bait types, targeted residuals, dusts, and exclusion points — chosen for the species and site.
3. Targeted Application & Exclusion
We apply professional non-repellent baits and targeted treatments directly to nests/trails, then seal gaps to block re-entry.
4. Follow-up & Prevention
We schedule 7/14/30-day checks, provide exclusion guidance, and offer ongoing hygiene audits to keep ants away for good.
Practical steps to keep ants out
Simple, high-impact actions
- Seal entry points: caulk foundation cracks, thresholds, and utility penetrations.
- Eliminate water sources: fix leaks, direct downspouts away from structure.
- Trim vegetation: keep foliage 12"+ from walls and rooflines.
- Manage waste: use tight lids on bins and remove food attractants promptly.
