    Residential Pest Control

    Ant Control

    Find the colony, treat the trail, and keep them out long term.

    Killing the ants you see on the counter does almost nothing to the colony. Our program uses targeted baits the workers carry back to the queen, plus a perimeter barrier so new colonies stay outside.

    Signs you have a problem

    • Trails of ants on counters, sidewalks, or near pet food
    • Mounds in DG, gravel, or cracks in concrete
    • Sawdust-like piles near wood (carpenter ants)
    • Painful stings near desert mounds (harvester ants)

    How Hydra treats it

    Identification first, bait choice depends on whether they're sugar feeders, protein feeders, or carpenter ants.

    Targeted bait placements indoors plus exterior perimeter residual.

    Mound treatment for harvester and fire ants in the yard.

    How it works

    • Included on General Pest Control plans
    • Free re-treats between visits
    • Carpenter ants quoted separately under Termites & Wood Destroying

    Questions? We’ve Got Answers.

    Why do ants come back after I spray?

    Over-the-counter sprays kill the workers you see and trigger the colony to split (budding). That's why DIY sprays often make ant problems worse. Bait-based programs target the colony.

    Do you treat carpenter ants?

    Yes, see our Carpenter Ant Control page under Termites & Wood Destroying.
