Ant Control

AK Pest Control provides professional ant control for homes, rental properties and businesses across Southwestern Ontario. Our work is led by a professional entomologist, so every job starts with a proper inspection and identification — then a treatment plan built around your property, not a one-size-fits-all spray.

The ants you see are only the foragers. Real control means finding the trail and the nest — and for carpenter ants, the damp or damaged wood they nest in. Spraying the ants on the counter without treating the nest just buys a few quiet days.

The Ants We Treat

  • Carpenter ants (Camponotus pennsylvanicus) — the large black ants that nest in damp or damaged wood in and around homes. We locate the nest, treat it at the source, and advise on the moisture or wood damage that needs fixing so they don’t return.
  • Pavement ants (Tetramorium immigrans) — the small brownish ants that nest under pavement, patios and foundations and trail into kitchens and basements. We treat nests and entry routes.
  • Other ants — odorous house ants, field ants and other species common in Ontario homes and businesses. We identify the species first, because the right treatment depends on it.

How We Control Ants

We combine spraying, dusting and gel bait, matched to the species and the nest location — treating trails, entry points and nests rather than just the ants you can see. Your inspector will explain which combination suits your property and what preparation, if any, is needed before treatment day.

What to Expect

  1. Inspection — we identify the ant species, the trail, and the nest location.
  2. Plan and quote — you get a clear treatment plan and price before any work begins.
  3. Treatment — targeted treatment of nests, trails and entry points.
  4. Follow-up — warranty support if activity continues.

Ant Control for Property Managers and Businesses

Ants in kitchens, food-service areas and rental units are problems tenants and customers notice fast. We work with property management companies, landlords, restaurants and commercial facilities on prompt treatments and written recommendations after inspection so managers can plan and budget with confidence.
