Finding the Source of Ants
Ant problems in the valley usually start outside. We locate the source and treat around your foundation. Every technician is background-checked.

Homeowners often notice small ants gathering in the kitchen or trailing outside. These signs alone do not confirm a diagnosis, but our technician performs an inspection to identify the activity.
Around kitchen plumbing
Ants often come indoors looking for a drink from dripping pipes during our dry months.
Along exterior block walls
You will frequently notice long lines of them traveling across your masonry toward the house.
Next to irrigation lines
Ant activity often starts outside along the irrigation lines running through your yard.
Around the foundation slab
Small cracks at the base of the stucco give them an easy path straight into your living space.
Near windows and doors
Poorly sealed entryways serve as clear paths for foraging workers hunting for dropped food crumbs.
Inside the pantry
Open packages and unsealed dry goods attract them in large numbers if left accessible on shelves.
Why ants in the house need attention
Most ant problems in the valley start outside, along block walls, irrigation lines and slab edges. During dry months, ants come inside looking for water and food crumbs. They will continue arriving once they establish a regular route into your kitchen or bathrooms.
We treat where the ants start outside and apply interior crack-and-crevice treatments only where activity is found inside. The Quarterly Home Pest Plan covers ants, though carpenter ants are an exception. Our approach focuses on their nesting sites rather than just the visible trails.
Evaluating the exterior of your home
The technician follows the trails and checks your foundation and yard to find where the ants start. This inspection reveals their outdoor source before we begin treatment.
Treating ant activity inside and out
We apply products around the perimeter of the structure and use specialized baits. You help the process by keeping counters clean and storing food properly.
The search for moisture in the valley
Most ant problems in the Las Vegas valley start outside your home. These ants build up along block walls, irrigation lines and slab edges in the yard.
Because our desert environment lacks natural moisture during dry months, ants come in looking for water to sustain themselves and their colonies. We focus our treatments on the exterior areas where they originate, targeting the outdoor sources to address the ants before they reach your kitchen or bathroom.
Getting ready for your service visit
We provide clear steps for you to take before the appointment so our technician can work effectively around your foundation.
Reading the guidelines
Before your scheduled visit, our office provides written preparation paperwork that details exactly what to do prior to the technician arriving.
Sharing what you see
Please tell the technician where you have seen ants, both inside and outside, so the inspection starts in those specific areas.
Following reentry directions
Children and pets should stay out of the treated spaces until your written reentry instructions indicate they can return.
Waiting for the bait to work
You may still see ants after the baits go down, because they actively carry the bait back to their nest.
Understanding the timeline
Some ant problems require more than one service. The technician will explain how many follow-up visits your property needs.
Reducing attractants around your yard
These habits help make your home less appealing to insects, but prevention alone does not end an active infestation.
- Keep landscape irrigation directed away from the home foundation.
- Store pet food and pantry goods in tightly sealed containers.
- Fix plumbing leaks and drips inside and outside the home.
- Trim plants and tree branches away from your exterior walls.
- Move woodpiles away from the side of the house.
- Wipe down kitchen counters to remove dropped food crumbs.

Questions about managing ants
How do you treat for ants?
We start outside by treating the perimeter around the foundation, doors, and weep screens. We also apply granular treatments in gravel beds where they nest. Inside, we use specific baits and treat cracks and crevices only where activity is found.
What about children and pets during the visit?
Every product is applied according to its label. We provide written preparation and reentry instructions before your treatment day. The forms tell you exactly when children and pets may enter the treated areas again.
What should I do before the technician arrives?
You will get a preparation checklist to follow. We generally ask that you pull items slightly away from the exterior walls so we have clear access to the foundation. Inside, keeping counters clear helps us inspect the kitchen thoroughly.
What is the price of the service?
The cost depends on the size of your property and the extent of the infestation. Estimates for general pest service are free. The technician evaluates the situation and gives you a clear price to approve before any work starts.
How many visits will this take?
Some problems require multiple visits because the workers must carry the bait back to the nest. Our Quarterly Home Pest Plan includes scheduled exterior visits every three months and free re-service if the covered pests return between those appointments.
Can I stop them from coming inside?
Storing food in sealed containers and fixing plumbing leaks makes your home less attractive to them. While this helps reduce the draw, prevention alone does not end an active infestation that has already established a trail into your house.
