Ant Control in Prescott Valley, AZ

Common ants around the Quad Cities

Harvester ants build the bare, cleared mounds you see in yards, driveways and open lots, and their sting is painful, especially for kids and pets. Carpenter ants are more common in Prescott's ponderosa pine areas and can nest in damp or damaged wood. Odorous house ants and other small "sugar ants" trail indoors after food and water, often right after monsoon storms. Pavement ants push sand up through cracks in patios and slabs.

Our ant control approach

• Identify the species, since baits and treatments that work on one ant can fail on another
• Find trails, mounds and nest sites in the yard and around the foundation
• Treat mounds and nesting areas, with baits where they fit, so workers carry treatment back to the colony
• Treat the exterior perimeter to stop new trails coming inside

Keep ants out

• Wipe counters and store sweets, pet food and trash tightly sealed
• Fix dripping faucets and irrigation leaks, since ants follow water in the dry season
• Trim shrubs and branches touching the house
