Eastside Ant Exterminators: Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish & Hunts Point Expert Ant Control
The Eastside has an ant problem that Seattle doesn’t. Your newer construction, heavy irrigation, extensive landscaping, and bark mulch everywhere creates perfect conditions for massive ant colonies and most Eastside homeowners don’t realize it until they have thousands of ants in their kitchen.
A Sammamish homeowner called us about “a few ants” near their kitchen sink. When we arrived, we found seven separate odorous house ant colonies in their landscaping all within 20 feet of their house. The culprit? An irrigation system running 20 minutes daily, soaking bark mulch beds against the foundation. Every bed had a colony.
Here’s what makes Eastside ant problems different from Seattle: Your homes are newer (less foundation settling, fewer entry gaps), but your landscaping practices create ant paradise. Professional irrigation keeps soil consistently moist. Bark mulch is standard in every yard. Decorative rock borders are everywhere. Deck and patio structures are common. On estate properties in communities like Hunts Point and Medina, add lake adjacent humidity, mature ornamental plantings spanning acres, and grounds maintained by professional landscape crews and ant colony density reaches levels rarely seen anywhere in King County.
The Eastside ant problem isn’t your home’s construction it’s what’s surrounding your home.
After 20 years treating ant infestations throughout Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, Issaquah, Newcastle, Mercer Island, and the waterfront communities of Hunts Point, Medina, and Yarrow Point, we’ve learned that Eastside properties average 3–5 separate ant colonies per home, compared to 1–2 in Seattle. The difference? Landscaping.
AMPM Exterminators specializes in Eastside ant elimination using exterior landscape focused treatment that addresses the irrigation and mulch conditions creating your ant problem.

Why the Eastside Has More Ant Problems Than Seattle
If you’ve noticed that everyone in your Eastside neighborhood seems to have ant problems, you’re not imagining it. The Eastside has specific conditions that create higher ant colony density than Seattle proper.
Factor #1: Irrigation Systems (The #1 Eastside Ant Driver)
What’s different on the Eastside:
- 85% of Eastside homes have professional irrigation systems
- Seattle: Maybe 30–40% have irrigation
- Eastside systems often run daily or every other day
- Seattle homeowners rely more on rain
Why irrigation creates ant colonies:
- Keeps soil consistently at 20–30% moisture (perfect for nesting)
- Natural rainfall varies irrigation is constant and predictable
- Drip lines often placed directly at foundation plantings
- Water soaks into bark mulch beds (ants love this)
- Creates permanent moisture zones = permanent colonies
The Sammamish irrigation story:
- Homeowner had irrigation running 20 minutes daily, March–October
- 7 separate ant colonies in foundation plantings
- We treated colonies but said: “Reduce irrigation to 2–3× weekly”
- They reduced to twice weekly
- No new colonies in 2 years
- Irrigation frequency directly correlates with colony density
Factor #2: Landscaping Density & Bark Mulch
Eastside landscaping trends:
- 3–4 inch deep bark mulch standard (perfect ant nesting depth)
- Mulch beds along entire foundation perimeter
- Decorative rock borders everywhere
- Dense plantings (rhododendrons, azaleas, groundcover)
- Landscape timber edging
- Raised planter beds against house
Why this creates colonies:
- Bark mulch top 2 inches: ideal ant nesting material
- Provides insulation, moisture retention, hiding spots
- Every Eastside home has 50–200 linear feet of mulch bed
- That’s 100–400 square feet of prime ant habitat
- Can support 5–10 separate colonies on one property
Seattle comparison:
- Older Seattle homes often have minimal landscaping
- More concrete, less mulch
- Simpler foundation plantings
- Result: Fewer nesting sites, fewer colonies
Factor #3: Newer Construction Features
Eastside construction (1990s–2020s):
- Large deck structures (common on sloped lots)
- Multilevel patios
- Extensive hardscaping
- Complex drainage systems
- Retaining walls
Why this matters for ants:
- Deck posts often in contact with soil nest sites
- Gaps under composite decking ant highways
- Retaining wall gaps protected nesting
- Drainage rock hiding spots between rocks
- More structure more harborage
Factor #4: Climate & Vegetation
Eastside vs. Seattle weather:
- Eastside: Slightly warmer, less marine influence
- More sunny days (ants more active)
- Less wind (doesn’t dry out mulch as fast)
- Result: Longer active season for ants
Eastside vegetation:
- More ornamental plantings = more aphids/scale insects
- Aphids produce honeydew (ant food)
- Dense vegetation creates humidity near foundation
- Perfect microclimate for colonies
The Result: Colony Density
Average Eastside property ant assessment:
- Bellevue/Sammamish newer development: 3–7 colonies
- Kirkland/Redmond established areas: 2–5 colonies
- Newcastle/Issaquah hillside homes: 4–8 colonies (retaining walls)
- Hunts Point/Medina estate properties: 6–15 colonies (estate-scale irrigated grounds)
Compare to Seattle:
- Average Seattle property: 1–3 colonies
- Older neighborhoods: Often just 1–2
Why Eastside averages higher: More nesting sites per square foot of property due to irrigation, extensive landscaping, and complex hardscaping.
Common Ant Species on the Eastside
The Eastside gets the same ant species as Seattle, but in different proportions due to landscape and irrigation conditions.
Odorous House Ants (85% of Eastside Infestations)
Why they dominate the Eastside:
- Thrive in irrigated bark mulch (perfect moisture + insulation)
- Multiple queens per colony (rapid population growth)
- Colony budding when stressed (1 colony becomes 5)
- Ideal Eastside habitat creates massive populations
Identification:
- Tiny: 1/16 inch (rice grain size)
- Dark brown to jet black
- Fast-moving, organized trails
- Smell test: Crush one smells like rotten coconut
Where you’ll find them on Eastside properties:
- Foundation mulch beds (90% of colonies)
- Under decorative rock borders
- Landscape timber crevices
- Under deck boards
- Planter boxes
Why DIY fails with odorous house ants: They colony-bud when you spray them. Use store-bought repellent spray, and 1 colony splits into 3–5 separate colonies within 48 hours. This is why your neighbor tried everything and still has ants.

Carpenter Ants (10% of Eastside Infestations)
Why less common on Eastside than Seattle:
- Newer construction less wood rot/moisture damage
- Better drainage design in newer developments
- Fewer old growth trees (fewer natural nesting sites)
Where they do appear:
- Older Eastside neighborhoods (Kirkland, Bellevue Bridle Trails)
- Properties with mature landscaping
- Homes with deck/fence moisture issues
- Hunts Point and Medina estates aging wood structures, carriage houses, mature trees
- Areas with irrigation overwatering causing elevated wood moisture
Identification:
- Large: 1/4 to 1/2 inch (pencil eraser size)
- Black or red and black
- Slow, methodical movement
- Sawdust piles near nesting sites
Urgency: HIGH Carpenter ants cause structural damage by excavating wood. If you see large black ants regularly, call for inspection immediately.
Carpenter ant structural damage assessment
Moisture Ants (4% of Eastside Infestations)
Where they appear:
- Properties with drainage issues (water pooling)
- Homes with irrigation system leaks
- Retaining wall seepage areas
- Overwatered foundation plantings
- Hunts Point lakefront and water view properties with complex drainage
Identification:
- Tiny: 1/16 inch
- Yellow to golden brown (never black)
- Build visible carton nests (mud like structures)
- Only nest in wood with 15%+ moisture content
What they indicate: An active water problem causing wood rot. Moisture ants are your free alarm system warning of damage that will cost $5,000–$20,000 to repair if not addressed.
Moisture ants and water damage detection
Pavement Ants (1% of Eastside Infestations)
Where found:
- Cracks in driveways, walkways, patios
- Between paver stones
- Foundation slab expansion joints
Less common on Eastside because: Newer construction fewer settled concrete cracks. More common in older Seattle neighborhoods with aging infrastructure.
Eastside Ant Hot Spots by City
Each Eastside city has specific characteristics that create ant problems.
Bellevue Ant Control
High risk areas:
- Somerset (hillside homes, retaining walls, irrigation)
- Newport Hills (older development, mature landscaping)
- Eastgate (extensive mulch beds standard)
- Crossroads (higher density, shared landscaping)
- Bridle Trails (older homes, wooded lots, carpenter ants more common)
- Clyde Hill / Medina / Beaux Arts (estate scale properties, professional landscaping, lake proximity)
Common Bellevue ant scenario: Professional landscaping with 3–4 inch bark mulch, irrigation running daily spring through fall, foundation plantings around the entire perimeter. Result: 3–5 colonies in mulch beds, ants entering kitchens and bathrooms seeking water.
Hunts Point Ant Exterminators
Hunts Point is one of the most ant-pressured communities we service on the Eastside and one of the least expected. This small Lake Washington peninsula between Medina and Yarrow Point stacks multiple high risk factors simultaneously in a way no other Eastside community does.
What makes Hunts Point different from every other Eastside city:
Estate-scale properties with acres of irrigated landscaping. Most Hunts Point lots are 1–3 acres with full-time professional landscape maintenance. That means 300–800 linear feet of bark mulch beds, ornamental plantings, and irrigated ground per property far more nesting habitat than a typical Eastside subdivision home. Where a Sammamish homeowner might have five colonies in their foundation beds, a Hunts Point estate can have fifteen spread across multiple landscape zones, garden areas, pool perimeters, and outbuilding foundations.
Lake Washington proximity and year-round ambient humidity. Hunts Point’s waterfront and water-view lots sit within constant moisture influence from the lake. Even without irrigation, mulch beds and soil stay damp far longer than anywhere on the Eastside plateau. Combine professional irrigation with lake-adjacent humidity and soil moisture hovers in the 25–35% range year round well above the threshold odorous house ant colonies need to thrive. Colonies that would die back in a drier location persist and expand through winter on Hunts Point properties.
Mature vegetation and established root systems. Unlike newer Sammamish or Education Hill development with two year old plantings, Hunts Point properties have decades old ornamental trees, deep groundcover, layered canopy, and decomposing root zones throughout. Ants nest at root crowns, beneath groundcover, and inside decomposing organic material in ways that are much harder to locate and treat than colonies in fresh bark mulch beds.
Multiple structures per property. Carriage houses, pool structures, detached garages, guesthouses, and garden sheds mean more slab edges, more wood-ground contact points, more protected crawl spaces, and more harborage opportunities per acre than any other community we serve.
Typical Hunts Point ant assessment: 6–12 separate colonies per property is not unusual. We have treated Hunts Point estates with 15 colonies spread across main house foundation beds, pool deck perimeters, carriage house slabs, lakeside garden walls, and irrigation fed ornamental borders.
Common ant species at Hunts Point:
- Odorous house ants: Dominant species estate irrigation and mulch create perfect habitat at scale
- Carpenter ants: More prevalent than typical Eastside mature trees, aging wood structures on older estates, carriage houses
- Moisture ants: Lake proximity, complex drainage, some properties with seepage through retaining walls or foundation areas
Hunts Point specific treatment approach: Standard residential service covers one structure and its immediate perimeter. For Hunts Point estates, AMPM conducts a comprehensive property wide assessment covering all structures, all landscape zones, pool and hardscape perimeters, and all irrigation areas before treatment begins. Treatment is staged and thorough not just the main residence front and back. Because colony pressure regenerates quickly from irrigated grounds, one-time treatment is effective but quarterly prevention is strongly recommended for any Hunts Point property running professional irrigation.

Kirkland Ant Exterminators
High risk areas:
- Finn Hill (irrigation and mulch standard)
- Juanita (lake proximity, higher ambient humidity)
- Rose Hill (newer developments, heavy landscaping)
- Downtown Kirkland older homes (carpenter ants more common)
- Totem Lake (extensive deck structures)
Kirkland specific issue: Lake Washington proximity keeps ambient humidity elevated. Mulch stays damp even without irrigation, and colonies are active earlier in spring and later into fall than anywhere else on the Eastside plateau. Waterfront and water view properties are especially prone to persistent infestations.
Redmond Ant Control
High risk areas:
- Education Hill (newer development, irrigation standard on virtually every lot)
- Grass Lawn (extensive landscaping, retaining walls, slope drainage)
- Overlake (tech-industry homeowners who travel frequently irrigation set and forgotten, landscaping maintenance gaps)
- Bear Creek (wooded developments, carpenter ants more common near natural areas)
- Downtown Redmond older areas (mixed construction ages, higher odorous house ant pressure in established yards)
Redmond specific issue: Redmond has a higher proportion of tech-industry homeowners who travel frequently for work. Irrigation systems run on auto-schedules that nobody adjusts, often overwatering foundation beds for months without anyone noticing. Colonies establish quietly and are well-entrenched by the time the homeowner first sees ants indoors. We regularly find 5–7 colonies in Redmond foundation beds where the irrigation timer hasn’t been touched since installation.
Sammamish Ant Exterminators
High risk areas:
- Klahanie (uniform HOA landscaping, irrigation on every lot)
- Plateau (newest Eastside development, bark mulch the standard ground cover everywhere)
- Pine Lake (older Sammamish development, mature landscaping with established colonies)
- Sahalee (large properties with extensive irrigated landscaping, multiple colonies the norm)
- Trossachs / Beaver Lake (newer construction, heavy mulch beds, high colony pressure)
Sammamish specific issue: Sammamish is the newest large-scale Eastside development and has the most uniform landscaping practices of any city we serve. HOA standards require consistent mulch depths, similar plant palettes, and similar irrigation schedules across entire neighborhoods. The result: if one house on a Klahanie or Plateau street has an ant pressure problem, the entire street typically does. Colonies spread neighbor to neighbor through shared landscape zones. We regularly treat 3–4 homes on the same block in a single afternoon in Sammamish.
Issaquah & Newcastle Ant Control
High risk areas:
- Issaquah Highlands (hillside terracing, retaining walls throughout the development)
- Newcastle hillside homes (complex drainage, significant moisture accumulation, retaining wall seepage common)
- Downtown Issaquah older areas (established trees, aging landscaping, higher carpenter ant presence)
- Both cities: Slope topography creates drainage challenges that flatland Eastside cities don’t face
Hillside specific issues: Retaining walls create protected nesting zones that are difficult to treat from the surface. Water running downhill concentrates moisture at foundation lines. More deck structures built on sloped lots mean more wood-to-soil contact points. The combination of elevation change, drainage concentration, and complex hardscaping pushes colony counts higher than comparable flatland Eastside properties 4–8 colonies per property is common in Issaquah Highlands and Newcastle hillside neighborhoods.
Mercer Island Ant Exterminators
Island specific conditions:
- Surrounded by Lake Washington consistently elevated ambient humidity across the entire island
- Marine microclimate keeps mulch and soil damp for days after rainfall clears
- Mature landscaping throughout (older development, most properties 30–60+ years old)
- Large lots with extensive ornamental plantings and mulch beds
Common Mercer Island ant scenario: Waterfront and water-view properties with ambient lake moisture combined with professional irrigation create conditions similar to Hunts Point colonies that persist and grow through seasons that would thin them out on drier Eastside properties. Mercer Island also sees a higher rate of multi-species infestations than most Eastside cities: odorous house ants in the foundation beds and carpenter ants in mature trees and aging wood structures on the same property, requiring treatment protocols that address both simultaneously.
Professional Eastside Ant Elimination: The Landscape Focused Approach
Effective Eastside ant treatment focuses on your landscaping and irrigation not just spraying inside your house.
Phase 1: Eastside Specific Inspection (30–40 minutes)
Interior assessment (standard):
- Identify species (smell test for odorous house ants)
- Map indoor activity (kitchen, bathroom, other rooms)
- Locate entry points
Exterior landscape assessment (Eastside focus):
- Walk entire foundation perimeter
- Check ALL mulch beds (primary colony sites)
- Examine decorative rock borders
- Inspect landscape timber and planter boxes
- Check under deck boards and patio pavers
- Look for carton nests (moisture ants)
- Identify all visible colonies
Irrigation system assessment (critical for Eastside):
- Where are drip lines located? (Foundation plantings problem)
- How often does system run? (Daily excessive)
- Is mulch staying too wet? (Moisture test)
- Any broken or leaking heads near foundation?
- Recommendations for reducing overwatering
What we typically find on Eastside properties:
- 3–5 separate colonies in foundation mulch beds
- Irrigation running more frequently than necessary
- Mulch beds against siding (ants’ direct highway into the structure)
- Decorative rock borders hiding additional colonies
Phase 2: Exterior Landscape Treatment (Primary Focus)
Direct colony treatment:
- Apply non repellent gel bait at each colony location
- Workers cannot detect non repellent products
- They consume bait and carry it back to the nest
- Share through food exchange (trophallaxis)
- Entire colony eliminated from within
- No colony budding (stress response avoided)
Foundation perimeter barrier:
- Non repellent spray around entire foundation
- 3 foot band treatment
- Ants walk through unknowingly
- Carry product back to colonies
- Prevents new colonies from establishing
- Lasts 60–90 days in Pacific Northwest climate
Landscape bed treatment:
- Treat mulch beds, rock borders, planter boxes
- Apply to landscape timber crevices
- Under deck boards if colonies present
- Comprehensive coverage of all nesting sites
Phase 3: Minimal Interior Treatment
Why minimal: 95% of Eastside ant problems originate outside in landscaping. Interior treatment is supplementary.
What we do inside:
- Small gel bait dots along active trails
- At all identified entry points
- Workers carry product to outdoor colonies
- Accelerates overall elimination
What we don’t do:
- No spraying countertops (contamination risk)
- No spraying baseboards (that’s not where the problem is)
- No sealing entry points yet (traps ants inside, creates satellite nests)
Phase 4: Irrigation & Landscape Recommendations
Irrigation adjustments (often the key to long-term prevention):
- Reduce frequency: Daily → 2–3× weekly
- Reduce runtime: 20 min → 10–15 min
- Redirect heads away from foundation
- Fix any broken or leaking heads
- Consider soil moisture sensors (prevents accidental overwatering)
Landscape modifications (long-term prevention):
- Pull mulch back 6 inches from siding
- Reduce mulch depth to 2 inches (not 4–5)
- Create rock or bare soil border at foundation
- Trim vegetation away from house
- Remove landscape debris and wood piles within 20 feet
Why this matters: Without addressing irrigation and landscaping conditions, new colonies will establish within 6–12 months. Treatment eliminates current colonies; landscape changes prevent new ones from moving in.
Timeline for Eastside Ant Elimination
- Hour 1–24: High activity as ants consume and distribute bait
- Hour 24–48: Activity declining noticeably
- Hour 48–72: Minimal ants, occasional stragglers
- Day 4–7: No ants (elimination achieved)
- Day 10–14: Follow up visit seal entry points, verify complete elimination
Why 48-hour results: Non repellent baits work fast once distributed through colonies. Multiple colonies treated simultaneously comprehensive elimination without budding.
Cost Transparency: Eastside Ant Elimination
Standard Eastside ant service:
- Cost: $200–$300
- Includes: Inspection, species ID, exterior colony treatment (all colonies), perimeter barrier, interior baiting, irrigation assessment, landscape recommendations
- Timeline: 48–72 hours for elimination
- Follow-up: One visit included (Day 10–14)
- Warranty: 30 days
Multiple colonies (4–7 colonies, common on Eastside):
- Cost: $300–$400
- Includes: Extensive exterior treatment, all landscape bed treatment, aggressive barrier application
- Timeline: 48–72 hours
- Follow up: Two visits included
Large Eastside properties (Sammamish, Sahalee, and similar):
- Cost: $350–$500
- Properties over 1 acre or with extensive landscaping
- Multiple deck structures, retaining walls
- 8 colonies common
- Requires more product, more labor
Estate properties Hunts Point, Medina, Clyde Hill, Yarrow Point, Mercer Island waterfront:
- Cost: $450–$700
- Properties 1–3 acres with multiple structures, professional irrigated landscaping
- 8–15 colonies common across multiple landscape zones
- Full property assessment covering all structures, all hardscape perimeters, all landscape areas
- Two follow up visits included
- Quarterly prevention strongly recommended given continuous colony pressure from irrigated grounds
Quarterly prevention program (recommended for most Eastside homes):
- Cost: $100–$150 per visit (every 3 months)
- Schedule: March, June, September, December
- Prevents: New colonies from establishing in landscaping
- Covers: All common pests (ants, spiders, wasps)
- Includes: Unlimited free visits between scheduled services
- Best for: Properties with persistent colony pressure which describes most Eastside homes
Why quarterly service makes financial sense on the Eastside: Colony pressure here is higher than anywhere else in King County. Irrigation creates constant favorable conditions. Neighboring properties’ colonies can recolonize your yard within a single season. Prevention costs $400–$600/year; reactive treatment when ants return costs $300 per occurrence if it happens twice a year you’re spending the same money with the added inconvenience of having ants.
Frequently Asked Questions: Eastside Ant Control
Q: Why does the Eastside have more ant problems than Seattle?
A: The Eastside has higher ant colony density due to landscaping and irrigation practices. Eastside properties average 3–5 separate ant colonies vs. 1–2 in Seattle because: (1) 85%+ of Eastside homes have irrigation systems running daily or every other day, keeping soil consistently moist perfect for nesting; (2) Professional landscaping with 3–4 inch bark mulch beds along the entire foundation perimeter creates unlimited nesting sites; (3) Decorative rock borders, landscape timber, deck structures, and retaining walls provide additional harborage; (4) Newer construction means more complex landscaping per property. On estate properties in communities like Hunts Point and Medina, all four factors are present at 3–10× the scale of a typical subdivision lot. The ants are the same species odorous house ants, carpenter ants, moisture ants but Eastside landscaping creates paradise for them.
Q: Will reducing my irrigation help with ants?
A: Yes, absolutely. Irrigation frequency directly correlates with colony density. Properties running irrigation daily average 5–7 colonies in foundation plantings. Properties running 2–3× weekly average 2–3 colonies. Properties relying on rainfall average 1–2. Reducing from daily to 2–3× weekly and cutting runtime from 20 minutes to 10–15 minutes significantly lowers moisture in mulch beds, making them less attractive for nesting. This won’t eliminate existing colonies you need treatment for that but it prevents new colonies from establishing. Most Eastside lawns are overwatered: grass needs only 1 inch of water per week including rainfall, but many irrigation systems deliver 2–3 inches.
Q: Are Eastside ants different from Seattle ants?
A: No same species: odorous house ants (85% of cases), carpenter ants (10%), moisture ants (4%), pavement ants (1%). The difference isn’t the ants, it’s the density. Eastside properties have more colonies per acre because landscaping creates more nesting sites. Treatment approach is the same: exterior colony elimination using non repellent products. The Eastside-specific element is addressing irrigation and landscape conditions that allowed multiple colonies to establish in the first place.
Q: Do I need quarterly service if I’ve had ants treated once?
A: It depends on your property. If you run irrigation frequently, have extensive bark mulch beds, have had ants return two or more times in the past two years, or have neighbors with ant problems, quarterly prevention makes financial sense. Prevention costs $400–$600/year. Reactive treatment runs $300 per occurrence if it happens twice a year, you’re spending the same money with the inconvenience of having ants each time. If you’ve reduced irrigation frequency, pulled mulch back from the foundation, and had just one colony treated, one time treatment and monitoring may be sufficient.
Q: How long does Eastside ant treatment take to work?
A: Professional treatment eliminates odorous house ant colonies 85% of Eastside cases in 48–72 hours. Timeline: Hours 1–24, high activity as ants consume and distribute bait; Hours 24–48, declining activity; Hours 48–72, minimal stragglers; Days 4–7, no ants. Carpenter ants take longer 10–14 days because colonies are larger and slower-moving. With multiple colonies treated simultaneously, even properties with 5–7 colonies reach full elimination in the same timeframe as a single colony job.
Q: Can I just remove the bark mulch to prevent ants?
A: Removing mulch reduces nesting sites but isn’t always necessary or practical. A more targeted approach: (1) Reduce mulch depth from 4 inches to 2 inches; (2) Pull mulch back 6 inches from siding to create a bare soil or rock border at the foundation; (3) Reduce irrigation frequency. This cuts colony pressure 70–80% without a full landscape overhaul. If you do remove mulch entirely, replace it with larger decorative rock (not pea gravel ants nest between small stones), drought tolerant groundcover with minimal irrigation needs, or native plantings. The goal is reducing moisture and direct contact with the foundation, not necessarily eliminating all organic material.
Q: Does AMPM treat ant problems at estate properties on Hunts Point and Medina?
A: Yes estate properties are a significant part of our Eastside service. Hunts Point, Medina, Clyde Hill, and Yarrow Point properties require a different scope than a standard subdivision home. We do a full property wide assessment before treatment, covering all structures, all landscape zones, pool and hardscape perimeters, and all irrigation areas. We quote accurately for the full property rather than treating one structure and leaving the rest. For estate properties with continuous professional irrigation, we strongly recommend quarterly prevention colony pressure regenerates quickly on irrigated grounds at that scale.
