Ant Services
Serving McKinney and surrounding areas
Ants, those tiny but mighty warriors of the insect kingdom, have an uncanny knack for infiltrating homes like stealthy spies on a top-secret mission. They march in unison, their tiny antennas vibrating with a fervor that suggests they’re discussing their next tactical move over a cup of sugar. Despite their miniature stature, they’ve mastered the art of causing chaos in kitchens, turning a simple picnic into an all-you-can-eat buffet where they’re the only invited guests. Witness how our RID system tackles these pests.

Ant Control FAQs
What makes ants invade my house?
Ants find their way into homes by looking for food, water, or shelter. They sneak in through small cracks and gaps that are left between windows and doors. When they find the food source, they mark it with a scent that attracts other ants; thus, they easily invade in large numbers.
How can I prevent ants from entering my home?
Sealing any crack and gap; sealing all access points is an efficient strategy preventing their entry in the first place. Having a clean residence, maintaining it mostly in the kitchens and locations where food has been kept reduces the prospect of attracting ants into the home. Removing food waste also ensures there is minimal potential for an ant infestation in a house.
Are the chemicals used on ants for control safe?
We only use safe, industry-approved products specifically targeting ants, thereby ensuring no harm to your family, pets, or the environment. Our methods will effectively eliminate ants while ensuring safety standards are met.
How do I know I have ants in my home?
In case there is a sighting of ants around food and water sources or close to walls, windows, and countertops, this usually calls for infestation. You might even find their nests inside or outside your house. Then it’s time to take action before the problem gets worse.
Which of the most common ants live in homes?
Common house ants found are sugar ants, carpenter ants, and odorous house ants. Sugar ants attract their food items and also have an affair with sweets. Carpenter ants love to nest inside woods. Odorous house ants cause a very strong stink in case they are irritated, and most of the time these come up in the kitchen.
Do ants cause damage to buildings?
Most ants do not cause damage to buildings, but carpenter ants do. They make cavities in wood for nesting by boring into the wood of structures. It is always important to seek prompt treatment before such a case of significant damage to property may arise with this kind of ant species.
How long will it take to get rid of ants?
The amount of time taken to eliminate the ants would depend on the level of infestation. At the smaller levels, this can be as short as one week or two weeks. For heavy infestations, it would take several weeks to clean out the infestation totally. We always strive for effectiveness in the shortest time frame.
Are DIY ant control methods effective?
DIY methods, like store bought sprays or homemade, can provide short-term help but rarely do anything effective to the underlying cause that led to the infestation. Professional treatment is likely required for lasting results, therefore, to eradicate the complete colony and avoid future attacks.
How can I establish whether the treatment is, in fact, working?
Within a few days after treatment, you will begin noticing fewer ants. Our team checks back on the area to ensure that the problem is completely eliminated. We’ll be with you in helping you monitor the area and in giving you the tips to keep it ant-free for a long time.
Do I have to leave my house during treatment?
No, you do not need to leave your house during ant control treatment. Our methods are designed to be safe for your home and family. However, we may advise temporarily avoiding treated areas until the solution has settled. We’ll provide specific instructions to ensure your safety.
