Effective Ant Control Solutions: Keep Your Home And Yard Ant-Free

Ant Control Solutions: Inside and Outside Your Home

Indoor Ant Control


Ants inside your home can quickly become a nuisance, contaminating food, invading kitchens, and creating unsightly trails along walls and floors. Different species of ants, such as carpenter ants or odorous house ants, can also cause damage or unpleasant odors.

Our indoor ant control services focus on:


  • Identifying Entry Points: We locate where ants are entering your home and seal those areas to prevent further infestation.
  • Targeted Treatment: We apply safe, effective treatments in areas where ants nest and travel, such as baseboards, countertops, and hidden corners.
  • Ongoing Prevention: We provide solutions to minimize the chance of ants returning, including advice on reducing moisture and sealing cracks.

Outdoor Ant Control


Outdoor ants can be just as problematic. Left untreated, ants outside your home can eventually find their way indoors. Colonies located near foundations, driveways, and gardens can also damage landscaping and structures.

Our outdoor ant control services include:


  • Colony Elimination: We identify and treat colonies in your yard, preventing them from growing and spreading.
  • Perimeter Defense: We create a protective barrier around your home’s foundation to stop ants from migrating indoors.
  • Other Options: Our treatments are safe for pets and plants, while still effectively eliminating ants from your property.



Why It’s Important to Control Both Indoor and Outdoor Ants


To effectively manage an ant infestation, it’s crucial to address both indoor and outdoor areas. Treating only the inside can provide temporary relief, but ants from outdoor colonies will eventually find their way back in. By controlling the source of the problem outside and preventing access to your home, you can enjoy long-lasting protection from ants.

At SAPPHIRE Pest Control, we take a comprehensive approach to ant control to ensure your home is safe and pest-free inside and out.
