Proper identification is crucial for effective treatment. Here are the most common ants we encounter:
Carpenter Ants

These ants excavate wood to build nests, potentially causing thousands in damage if untreated. For severe infestations, see our dedicated carpenter ant control services.

Risk: Food contamination • Season: Year round indoors
Named for the rotten coconut smell when crushed. Common in kitchens and bathrooms. Learn about our kitchen pest control solutions.

Ant Control FAQs
How much does ant extermination cost in Seattle?
Pricing depends on several factors: infestation size, ant species, property size, and treatment method. Typical ranges:
- Standard Treatment: $150 to $250 (most common)
- Carpenter Ant Treatment: $250 to $350 due to nest location complexity
- Commercial/Multi-unit: $300 to $600
We provide free inspections with no obligation and transparent pricing before any work begins. No hidden fees.
How long does it take to get rid of ants?
Timeline varies by treatment type:
- Initial Results: 24 to 48 hours reduced activity
- Complete Elimination: 1to 2 weeks bait systems work through colony
- Follow up Visit: Usually 2 to 3 weeks after initial treatment
We offer same day emergency service for severe infestations. Most customers notice significant improvement within the first 48 hours.
Are your treatments safe for pets and children?
Yes. We prioritize safety:
- Use EPA registered, low toxicity products
- Offer pet safe treatment options
- Provide specific re entry times typically 2 to 4 hours
- Use targeted bait stations instead of widespread spraying when possible
- All technicians are trained in proper application techniques
Why do ants keep coming back after DIY treatments?
DIY products often fail because:
- They only kill visible ants, not the hidden colony
- Incorrect identification leads to wrong treatment
- Over the counter products have lower concentrations
- They don’t address entry points or attractants
- Some species like Pharaoh ants actually multiply when sprayed
Professional exterminators have access to commercial grade products and the training to solve the root problem.
What’s the difference between ants and termites?
Key differences:
- Antennae: Ants have elbowed antennae; termites have straight, bead-like antennae
- Waist: Ants have a narrow, pinched waist; termites have a broad waist
- Wings: Both have winged reproductive forms, but ant wings are different sizes; termite wings are equal size
- Damage: Carpenter ants excavate wood but don’t eat it; termites consume wood
If you’re unsure, contact us immediately for proper identification. Termite control services require different treatment strategies.
Do you offer emergency same day service?
Yes! We understand ant infestations can’t always wait. We offer:
- Same day emergency service for calls received before 2 PM
- Next-day service guaranteed
- Weekend appointments available
- No extra charge for emergency service
