Ant Control in the Valley: How to Keep Ants Out of Your Home

Ants may be small, but they’re one of the biggest pest problems for Valley homeowners. With our warm climate and year-round food sources, ants are constantly searching for ways inside. Once they invade, they can be difficult to get rid of without professional help.

At Nice Pest Company, we provide proven ant control in the Valley to eliminate infestations and prevent them from coming back.

The Most Common Ants in the Valley

Several types of ants call the Valley home. The most common species we deal with include:

• Carpenter Ants – Large black ants that hollow out wood to nest, potentially damaging structures.

• Fire Ants – Aggressive ants with painful stings, often found in lawns and landscaping.

• Odorous House Ants – Small brown ants that emit a rotten, sweet smell when crushed.

• Pavement Ants – Nest in cracks of sidewalks, driveways, and patios, often trailing indoors for food.

• Harvester Ants – Known for building large mounds and clearing vegetation around their colonies.

Each species requires a unique treatment approach, which is why DIY sprays often don’t work long-term.

Signs of an Ant Infestation

Wondering if you have ants in your home? Look for:

• Long trails of ants moving to and from food sources

• Ant mounds or dirt piles near foundations, lawns, or driveways

• Winged ants (swarmers) near windows or doors, which can indicate a mature colony

• Food in pantries or kitchens being invaded despite cleaning efforts

If you’re seeing ants regularly, it usually means there’s a colony nearby that needs professional attention.

How Nice Pest Company Eliminates Ants

Our Valley ant control program goes beyond surface sprays to target the source:

• Inspection – Identify ant species, colony locations, and entry points.

• Baiting & Treatments – Use proven products that ants carry back to the colony for complete elimination.

• Exclusion – Seal small cracks and entryways to block ants from returning.

• Ongoing Maintenance – Regular services to keep your home ant-free year-round.

Ant Prevention Tips for Valley Homeowners

• Keep food in airtight containers and wipe counters daily.

• Rinse recyclables and seal trash cans.

• Fix leaks and reduce standing water that ants use for moisture.

• Trim back vegetation that touches walls and roofs.

• Schedule professional pest control before infestations grow.
