Beverly's Colony-Elimination Ant Team

Contact spray disrupts the trail temporarily but rarely reaches the nest.

They're larger than most household ants, often black or black-and-red, and you may notice small wood shavings near baseboards.

Colony elimination via bait typically takes one to two weeks as it spreads through the nest.

We typically combine spot mound treatment with a wider bait application.

Colony elimination clears the current infestation; a seasonal perimeter program helps prevent a new one establishing. A recurring perimeter visit every season is usually enough to keep new colonies from establishing near the foundation.

Bait sits in enclosed stations or protected areas specifically to limit pet and child access. Trimming vegetation that touches the siding removes an easy bridge past any barrier treatment.
