Ant Control In Orange County, CA

Effective Ant Solutions For Orange County Properties

When you find an ant on your counter, you’ll likely begin to see more and more as the day goes on. Common area ants enter homes for a variety of reasons, but once inside, even if they don’t nest there, they’ll stick around your Anaheim home for food, water, or access to shelter from poor outdoor conditions. 

Because they leave an invisible trail, other ants easily find their way inside too. Eliminating an ant infestation on your own is difficult, but calling in Smart Pest Control to help will get your infestation under control in no time.

Understanding the Ant Threat in Orange County

Ant infestations aren’t just a nuisance—they can pose health risks and cause structural damage to your home. Here’s what you should know:

  • Food Contamination: Ants can spread bacteria by crawling over food and surfaces.
  • Structural Damage: Carpenter ants tunnel through wood, potentially weakening structures.
  • Painful Stings: Fire ants deliver painful stings that can cause allergic reactions.
  • Rapid Colonization: Some species form massive colonies, making DIY treatments ineffective.

Understanding these risks highlights why professional ant control is essential for long-term protection.

Common Mistakes Homeowners Make When Dealing with Ants

Many homeowners attempt to handle ant infestations on their own, but certain mistakes can make the problem worse. Avoid these common pitfalls:

  • Using the Wrong Ant Bait: Different ant species prefer different food sources. Using the wrong bait won’t attract them effectively.
  • Spraying Ant Trails: Killing visible ants disrupts their trail, but it doesn’t eliminate the colony. Other ants will create new paths.
  • Ignoring Entry Points: If you don’t seal cracks, gaps, and openings, ants will keep coming back.
  • Neglecting the Colony: Treating only the ants you see ignores the root cause—the nest. Professional treatments target the entire colony for lasting results.

If you've made any of these mistakes, it’s time to call in the professionals for a thorough, long-lasting solution.

Our Ant Control Process

Outlining A Service Plan

We’ll begin your service by discussing what you’ve been seeing and outlining a service plan to eliminate your ant problem. We’ll then move into the treatment phase, which involves using several methods for the most effective pest control for your property in Costa Mesa or surrounding areas

Ant Treatments

We’ll start treatment by laying down ant traps. We place bait and a granule product in hot spots and problem areas.

If we have access to the anthill, we’ll treat that area as well. If not, we’ll apply a granule that ants will bring back to their nest. This product helps eliminate the entire colony instead of just the ants you find in your house; targeting the colony results in full ant elimination.

Follow-Up Service

Follow-up visits may or may not be necessary depending on the service plan agreed to. Please contact us for more information on how we can service your Orange County area home.
