Why Ants Invade and How We Stop Them
Understanding Entry Points, Colonies, and Behavior
Ants enter through hairline cracks, gaps around doors and windows, irrigation penetrations, and utility lines in search of food and moisture. Once scouts locate resources, they lay pheromone trails that recruit nestmates, creating sudden trails in kitchens, bathrooms, and exterior walls. Different species prefer sweets, proteins, or oils and often establish satellite colonies inside voids, under slabs, or in landscaping.
Southwest Pest breaks the cycle by correctly identifying the species, mapping foraging trails and nesting zones, and targeting the queen and brood. Our approach focuses on non-repellent treatments and precision baits that eliminate the colony rather than just the ants you see, preventing rebound infestations.
Thorough Inspection, Targeted Treatment, Lasting Results
Your service begins with a detailed inspection of interiors, exteriors, attic and crawl access points, and landscape features. We apply targeted gel and granular baits along trails, use non-repellent micro-encapsulated treatments at entry points and wall voids, and establish an exterior barrier that intercepts foragers before they reach the structure.
To keep ants out long term, we provide practical, easy prevention steps—sealing gaps, trimming vegetation, correcting moisture, and tightening food storage. You can choose one-time Ant Extermination or ongoing maintenance; either way, our methods are designed for fast knockdown and durable results.
Eco-Friendly Methods, No Contracts, Clear Communication
We use eco-friendly pest control solutions and an Integrated Pest Management strategy to minimize chemical footprint while maximizing impact on invasive colonies. Treatments are selected for low odor, targeted application, and safety when used as directed around families and pets.
Enjoy flexible service with no contracts. Schedule one-time or recurring visits on your terms, with transparent recommendations and clear communication before, during, and after every treatment. If activity persists, we refine the plan until your concerns are resolved.
Beyond ants, we treat a wide range of pests, including Spiders (Black Widow spiders, Brown recluse spider, Brown Widow Spiders), Cockroaches, Bed Bugs, Pincher bugs, ear wigs, Beetles, German Cockroaches, Oriental Cockroaches, American Cockroaches, Fleas, Ticks, and many more.
