Common Ant Problems in West Columbia

Not all ants are the same, and an effective treatment plan depends on the specific species invading your home or yard. Our technicians are experts at identifying the different types of ants common to our area and implementing the most effective strategy to control them.

• Fire Ants: A major concern in South Carolina, fire ants build unsightly mounds in lawns and deliver painful, stinging bites. They pose a threat to children and pets playing outdoors and require specialized yard treatment.
• Carpenter Ants: These destructive ants excavate wood to build their nests, which can lead to structural damage over time. They are often found in areas with moisture-damaged wood, like around windows, doorframes, or under sinks.
• Odorous House Ants: These tiny black ants are one of the most common indoor pests. They invade kitchens and bathrooms in large numbers, searching for sweets and produce a rotten coconut-like smell when crushed.
• Argentine Ants: Known for forming massive colonies with multiple queens, these ants can create extensive trails along sidewalks, foundation walls, and into your home, making them incredibly difficult to eliminate with DIY methods.
• Little Black Ants: As their name suggests, these are very small, dark ants that often nest in woodwork or wall voids. They forage for a wide variety of foods and can be a persistent nuisance indoors.

Whether you are dealing with a dangerous sting, potential property damage, or a frustrating kitchen invasion, a professional ant control plan is essential. We can accurately identify the species and target the source of the colony for complete elimination.

Our Proven Method for Complete Ant Elimination

At Aiken Pest Control, Inc., we know that killing the foraging ants you see is only a temporary fix. Our comprehensive ant control service, backed by our unbeatable guarantee, is designed to track the problem to its source and eliminate the entire colony, ensuring ants do not return.

• Thorough On-Site Inspection: Our professional technician will begin by identifying the specific ant species and conducting a detailed inspection to trace their trails back to the nesting site, whether it is inside your walls or out in the yard.
• Targeted Interior Treatments: We use advanced, low-impact baits and non-repellent products inside your home. Ants carry this bait back to the colony, sharing it with the queen and other ants, which is the key to eliminating the entire nest.
• Powerful Exterior Barrier: We apply a protective barrier around the foundation of your home. This preventative treatment stops new ants and other pests from finding their way inside in the first place, creating a pest-free shield.
• Specialized Fire Ant Control: For fire ant mounds in your yard, we use specialized, fast-acting products designed to eliminate the mound and the queen, protecting your family from painful stings and reclaiming your lawn.
• Our Satisfaction Guarantee: Our ant control is part of our guaranteed service. If the ants come back between our scheduled visits, we will come back too, at no additional charge, until the problem is solved.

Our strategic, multi-pronged approach is the reason we have been trusted since 1967. We do not just spray ants; we provide a complete, long-term solution that brings you peace of mind.

Why Store-Bought Ant Treatments Do Not Last

DIY ant sprays often only kill the worker ants you see, while the queen and the hidden nest remain safe and continue to produce more. A professional service uses specialized baits that are carried back to the colony, eliminating the problem at its source for lasting results.

Different ant species require completely different treatment strategies. Using the wrong product on certain ants can actually make the problem worse by causing the colony to split into multiple new colonies. A trained professional can identify the species and apply the correct, effective treatment.

The key to long-term ant control is creating a protective barrier around your home. Professionals have access to and know how to apply long-lasting products that prevent ants from entering. This preventative approach is far more effective than simply reacting to ants once they are inside.
