Effective Ant Control for Your Burlington Home

It’s a frustrating sight: a long trail of ants marching across your kitchen counter or the tell-tale sawdust from carpenter ants near your foundation. Burlington homeowners know that ants are more than a nuisance; some species can threaten your property’s structure, while others contaminate food.

At The Eliminator Pest & Property Service, we understand the local pest pressures here. Since 2005, our certified and background-checked technicians have provided pet-safe and kid-safe ant control. We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies to not only fix the current problem but also find its source.

Signs You Need Professional Ant Control

Finding a few stray ants may not seem like a major issue, but many infestations develop unseen. Knowing the early warning signs can help you protect your property before a small problem becomes a large one, especially when dealing with destructive pests like carpenter ants.

It is crucial to identify the type of ant you are dealing with, as different species require different treatment methods.

Carpenter Ant Evidence: This is the most critical sign. If you see piles of fine wood shavings (called frass) near baseboards, in basements, or in attics, it’s a red flag. You may also hear faint rustling sounds in your walls at night.
Persistent Indoor Trails: While DIY baits might stop a few ants, a constant, heavy trail of ants in your kitchen, pantry, or bathroom signals a large, established colony nearby.
Visible Nests: Pavement ants often build small mounds of dirt or sand along driveway cracks, patios, or foundation slabs.
Swarmers: The appearance of winged ants inside your home is a clear sign of a mature colony. These "swarmers" are reproductive ants looking to start new colonies.
Damaged Wood: If you find wood that appears hollowed out, tunneled, or damaged—particularly in areas with moisture like under sinks or around window sills—you may have an active carpenter ant infestation.

If you notice any of these signs, DIY solutions are unlikely to solve the root problem. A professional inspection is the best way to identify the species, locate the main nest, and prevent structural damage or food contamination.

Why DIY Ant Control Often Fails

Store-bought ant traps and sprays often promise a quick fix but rarely deliver lasting results. These products typically only kill the foraging ants you see, not the hidden queen and the rest of the colony. This means the nest remains active and will simply send out more workers.

Furthermore, misidentifying the ant species can make the problem worse. Using the wrong bait or spray for carpenter ants, for example, may cause the colony to split into multiple satellite nests, spreading the infestation throughout your home and making it much harder to control.

A professional understands ant biology. They can identify the species, track it to the source, and use methods that eliminate the entire colony. This approach saves you time, money, and the frustration of a recurring infestation, all while protecting your property.
