Ant Control
Professional ant control services in Denver & the Front Range
Ants are the most common household pest in Colorado, and a few scouts in your kitchen can quickly become a full-blown invasion. We identify the species, locate the colony, and apply targeted treatments that eliminate the entire population, not just the ants you can see.
Common Ant Species in Denver
Colorado homes deal with several ant species including pavement ants, carpenter ants, odorous house ants, and field ants. Each species requires a different treatment approach. Carpenter ants, for example, nest in wood and can cause structural damage, while pavement ants typically nest outdoors and forage inside for food.
Why Store-Bought Sprays Don't Work
Over-the-counter ant sprays kill the ants you spray directly but don't reach the colony. Worse, repellent sprays can cause colonies to split and relocate, actually spreading the problem. Professional baiting systems are carried back to the colony by worker ants, eliminating the queen and the entire nest.
Interior & Exterior Treatment
We treat both inside and outside your home for complete ant control. Interior treatments target active trails and nesting sites. Exterior barrier treatments create a protective perimeter around your foundation, stopping ants before they get inside.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you find where the ants are coming from?
We follow ant trails to identify entry points and track them back toward the nest. We also inspect common nesting sites like wall voids, under slabs, around pipes, and in landscaping near the foundation.
How long does ant treatment take to work?
Baiting treatments typically take 1-2 weeks to eliminate a colony, as worker ants need time to carry bait back to the queen. You may see increased activity initially. That's actually a good sign that ants are taking the bait.
Are your ant treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use targeted applications in areas away from contact. Baits are placed in tamper-resistant stations, and any sprays are applied to cracks and crevices where kids and pets don't have access.
Will ants come back after treatment?
Our barrier treatments provide ongoing protection. We also offer quarterly maintenance programs that refresh the barrier and treat any new activity before it becomes a problem.
