Ants are the #1 household pest in Wisconsin. A single colony can hold thousands of workers, and DIY sprays only kill the foragers you see — never the queen. We locate the colony, bait it from within, and build a perimeter barrier so the ants stop coming back.
Bait carried back to the nest kills the queen and the entire colony — not just the foragers you see on your counter.
A residual barrier around your foundation, windows, and doors stops new ants from entering your home.
Carpenter ants, pavement ants, and odorous house ants each need a different approach. We identify the species first.
Local knowledge of Wisconsin ant species, their seasonal trails, and common entry points.
Different ants need different treatments. Here are the species we control most often across Northeast Wisconsin.
Wisconsin's most destructive ant. They tunnel through wet or damaged wood to nest, causing structural damage. Large black workers, active day and night. Left untreated, they can hollow out beams and sill plates.
Small brown ants that nest under sidewalks, driveways, and foundation slabs. They push soil up through cracks and invade kitchens in search of sweets and grease.
Tiny dark ants that emit a coconut-like smell when crushed. They form massive colonies with multiple queens and trail along baseboards and counters by the thousands.
Tiny yellowish ants that infest kitchens and pantries. They split colonies (budding) when sprayed with repellent, spreading the infestation to new rooms.
Large, reddish ants that build mounds in lawns and around foundations. Mostly outdoor foragers, but they will move inside in search of food.
Raise their abdomen over their head when disturbed. They nest in moist or rotting wood and foam insulation, often alongside carpenter ants.
The same creatures we treat indoors are doing important work outdoors — pollinating, controlling pests, and keeping Northeast Wisconsin's ecosystems in balance. Learn why they matter and how to coexist.
Effective ant control requires more than spraying. We identify the species, locate the colony, bait it from within, and protect your perimeter.
We identify the ant species, locate trails and nesting sites, and find entry points inside and outside your home.
Slow-acting gel baits are placed on active trails. Workers carry the bait back to the colony, eliminating the queen and nest from within.
A residual barrier is applied around your foundation, windows, and doors to stop ants from re-entering your home.
We seal common entry gaps and advise on the moisture, vegetation, and food conditions that attract ants.
