Ontario’s Most Common Household Pest

Ants can be a major problem in and around the home. These small insects — usually black or dark reddish-brown with six legs and a distinct head, thorax, and abdomen — are often mistaken for termites, especially when they develop wings before breeding. Our certified, highly trained pest control technicians will identify the species accurately and treat accordingly.

Common Ontario Ant Species

Carpenter Ant — Damages wood structures
Pavement Ant — Found near driveways, slabs
Little Black Ant — Small, fast-moving colonies
Pharaoh Ant — Hard to eliminate, multiple queens
Rare European Fire Ant — Painful sting

A single ant colony can contain thousands of workers with multiple queens — making DIY control nearly impossible
Ants enter through the tiniest cracks and crevices; some species excavate wood and cause structural damage
Colonies grow rapidly — queens lay thousands of eggs, and what starts small can become a major infestation quickly
Professional treatment targets the queen and entire colony, not just the visible ants you see

What Damage Can Ants Cause to Your Home?

🏠

Property Damage

Carpenter ants excavate wood to build nests, causing extensive structural damage that can lead to costly repairs if left untreated. Unlike termites, they don’t eat wood — but the tunnelling weakens your home’s structure over time.

🍽️

Food Contamination

Ants contaminate food sources as they forage through kitchens, pantries, and storage areas, rendering food unsafe for consumption and leading to waste and additional expenses.

🐜

Persistent Colonies

Once established, ant colonies are extremely difficult to eliminate without professional help. A single colony can contain thousands of ants with multiple queens — meaning partial treatment only relocates the problem.

🔓

Multiple Entry Points

Ants can enter through the tiniest cracks and crevices in foundations, walls, and windows, making complete DIY exclusion nearly impossible without professional sealing and treatment.

⚠️

Health Concerns

While most ants don’t pose direct health threats, certain species such as fire ants can bite or sting, causing pain and allergic reactions. Pharaoh ants are known to spread bacteria in healthcare settings.

📈

Rapid Reproduction

Ant colonies grow quickly, with queens laying thousands of eggs. What starts as a few ants can rapidly become a major infestation. Professional intervention is the most effective way to stop the cycle.

Our Ant Elimination Process

A systematic 4-step approach that targets the entire colony — not just visible ants.

Thorough Inspection

We identify the ant species, locate nests, entry points, and foraging trails — and assess contributing factors like moisture and food sources that attract and sustain the colony.

Customized Treatment Plan

We use species-specific baits that worker ants carry back to the colony, targeted treatments for nests and entry points, perimeter treatments, and non-repellent products that eliminate the entire colony.

Complete Colony Elimination

Our treatment eliminates the queen and entire colony — not just foraging ants. We treat wall voids and hidden areas where nests may be located, with sequential treatments if needed.

Prevention & Warranty

We seal entry points, recommend landscape and moisture modifications, and provide prevention guidance. Our 11-month warranty means if ants return, we retreat at no extra cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of ants are common in Ontario?

The most common ant species in Ontario include Carpenter Ants (large, black, damage wood), Pavement Ants (small, found near driveways and foundations), Little Black Ants (tiny, fast-moving), Pharaoh Ants (very small, yellowish, multiple queens — extremely hard to eliminate), and the Rare European Fire Ant (stinging species found in gardens and turf areas).

Are the ants in my home carpenter ants or termites?

Ants and termites are often confused, especially when ants develop wings before mating season. Key differences: carpenter ants have a pinched waist, elbowed antennae, and wings of unequal length — while termites have a broad waist, straight antennae, and equal-length wings. If you’re unsure, call us for a free inspection. Misidentification leads to ineffective treatment.

Why do I keep seeing ants even after treating myself?

Over-the-counter sprays kill visible foraging ants but don’t reach the nest or the queen. Some products are even repellent, causing the colony to split and spread into new areas (called “budding”), making the infestation worse. Professional treatment uses non-repellent products and colony-specific baits that are carried back to eliminate the source.

How long does ant treatment take?

Most treatments take 1–2 hours depending on property size and infestation severity. Carpenter ant infestations or severe indoor colonies may require a follow-up treatment 2–4 weeks later. Your technician will provide a specific timeline after the inspection.

Are ant treatments safe for children and pets?

Yes — we use only Health Canada approved, professional-grade products applied by certified technicians. We recommend keeping children and pets away from treated areas until the product has dried (typically 1–2 hours). Your technician will provide full safety instructions before the treatment.

How do ants get into my home?

Ants enter through cracks in foundations, gaps around pipes and windows, doors without proper seals, and even through wall voids shared with outdoors. Carpenter ants often enter through wood damaged by moisture. Once inside, they leave scent trails that guide more ants from the colony — making quick treatment important.

What is the 11-month warranty?

Our 11-month warranty is the longest in Ontario’s pest control industry. If the same ant infestation returns within 11 months of your first treatment date, we provide one free retreatment — no extra cost. Terms and conditions apply. Ask your technician for details.

Do you offer ant control for commercial properties?

Yes — we provide ant control for homes, condos, offices, restaurants, warehouses, and all commercial and industrial properties across Ontario. We offer customized treatment plans and ongoing protection programs for businesses with recurring pest pressure.

How much does ant control cost in Ontario?

Cost depends on property size, ant species, and infestation severity. We offer free estimates and transparent upfront pricing — no hidden fees. We also price match any comparable written quote from a competitor. Call 1-855-501-0074 for a free, no-obligation estimate.
