Ant Types We Treat
Not All Ants Are the Same —
Neither Is Our Treatment
Different ant species require different strategies. Our technicians identify the species first, then deploy the most effective treatment for complete elimination.
Structural Risk
Carpenter Ants
These large ants tunnel through wood to nest, causing serious structural damage over time — similar to termites but easier to spot if you know where to look.
Painful Sting
Fire Ants
Aggressive and venomous, fire ants build large mound colonies in lawns and soil. Their stings are painful and can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Most Common
Odorous House Ants
Named for the rotten smell they emit when crushed, these tiny ants swarm kitchens and bathrooms and can have multiple queens making them hard to eliminate without pro help.
Outdoor Nuisance
Pavement Ants
These ants nest under driveways, sidewalks, and foundations. They're constantly foraging inside homes for food and are especially active in spring and summer.
Hard to Eradicate
Argentine Ants
Argentine ants form massive supercolonies with thousands of queens. Standard sprays barely dent them — targeted baiting and barrier treatments are essential.
Pantry Invader
Pharaoh Ants
Tiny and pale, pharaoh ants contaminate food and are notorious for infesting hospitals and multi-unit buildings. They scatter when disturbed, making treatment tricky.
Our Process
How DND Pest Control Eliminates Your Ant Problem
01
Thorough inspection
We locate entry points, nesting sites, trails, and the species involved — indoors and out — before recommending any treatment.
02
Species identification
Knowing exactly which ant you're dealing with determines whether we use bait, barrier spray, dust treatment, or a combination approach.
03
Colony-targeted treatment
We go beyond surface spraying. Our treatments reach the queen and colony to prevent the problem from rebounding in 2–3 weeks.
04
Seal & prevent
We identify and address entry points, moisture issues, and conducive conditions that drew ants in the first place.
05
Follow-up & guarantee
If ants return within our service window, so do we — at no additional charge. Your satisfaction is built into every job.

Warning Signs You Have an Ant Problem
Ant trails in the kitchen or bathroom
Consistent lines of ants — especially near food or moisture — mean an active colony is nearby and foraging regularly.
Small dirt or soil mounds outside
Mounds near your foundation, driveway, or lawn are nesting sites — fire ants and pavement ants are the usual culprits.
Wood shavings or sawdust-like frass
Carpenter ants push debris out of tunnels as they nest — finding this material near wood beams or window frames is a red flag.
Winged ants (swarmers) indoors
Flying ants inside your home often indicate a mature colony nearby — they're reproductive ants searching for a new nesting site.
Ants in food storage or pantry
Finding ants in sealed food containers or cabinet corners suggests a well-established colony that has located a reliable food source
Rustling sounds in walls
Large carpenter ant colonies sometimes produce faint rustling or crinkling noises inside walls — especially at night.
FAQs
Common Questions
How long does an ant treatment take to work?
Most treatments show significant results within 24–72 hours. Bait-based treatments may take 1–2 weeks as worker ants carry the bait back to the colony — but this method achieves deeper, longer-lasting elimination.
Why do ants come back after treatment?
Over-the-counter sprays only kill the ants you see — they don't reach the colony. D&D's approach targets the queen and nest, which is why our results last far longer than DIY methods.
Is the treatment safe for my kids and pets?
Yes. We use EPA-approved products and follow safety protocols. Our technicians will advise you on any brief re-entry times depending on the treatment method used.
Do I need to leave my home during treatment?
For most standard ant treatments, no. You may need to stay out of treated areas for 30–60 minutes while surfaces dry. We'll let you know exactly what to expect before we begin.
Can ants damage my home structurally?
Most species are nuisances, not structural threats. However, carpenter ants are an exception — they hollow out wood to nest and can cause real damage over time if left untreated. Early detection matters.
Do you offer ongoing ant prevention plans?
Yes. D&D offers quarterly and bi-monthly pest protection plans that cover ants along with other common household pests — keeping your home protected year-round at a great value.
