Ant Control in Uniondale, NY That Targets the Whole Colony

Spraying the visible trail kills foragers but leaves the colony and queen untouched, and often causes the colony to split and relocate, making the problem worse.

Carpenter ants are larger than most household ants, often black or black-and-red, and you may notice small piles of wood shavings (frass) near baseboards or window sills.

Bait is designed to transfer through the colony over 1-2 weeks, so expect a gradual decline in trail activity rather than an instant stop.

Fire ant colonies can have multiple mounds, so we typically combine spot mound treatment with a wider bait application.

Bait treatment removes the existing colony, and ongoing perimeter service reduces the odds of a new one moving in.

We place bait in enclosed stations or protected areas specifically to limit pet and child access. We often suggest trimming vegetation that touches the siding directly, since branches and shrubs give ants an easy bridge past any barrier treatment.
