About This Pest
Why They're Here
Ants are one of the most common household visitors. They follow scent trails searching for food and moisture, especially during warmer months. A few scouts can quickly lead to a steady stream if they find something they like.
What to Watch For
You may notice small trails of ants along countertops, windowsills, or near the sink. They tend to follow the same path over and over.

Our Natural Approach
Targeted Treatment
We use targeted, least-toxic treatments — botanical and mineral-based as the primary approach — to address the source of the problem, not just the symptoms. Our approach focuses on long-term results, not quick fixes.
Family-Conscious Formulas
Our primary toolkit is botanical and mineral-based, formulated to minimize risk to your family and pets. No synthetic pyrethroid sprays. Products are either EPA 25(b) exempt (essential-oil based) or EPA-registered minimum-risk pesticides (silica gel, borate).
How You Can Help
  • Wipe down counters and sweep floors regularly to remove crumbs.
  • Store food in sealed containers — especially sweets and pet food.
  • Fix leaky faucets and reduce standing moisture.
  • Seal small gaps around windows and door frames.
Family & Pet Considerations
Our treatments use botanical and mineral-based products to minimize risk to your family — children and pets included. Products are either EPA 25(b) exempt or EPA-registered minimum-risk. If we ever recommend an EPA-registered escalation product, we'll show you the label and explain it before applying.
