Every summer, thousands of Seattle homeowners have the same morning ritual: Make coffee Wipe the kitchen counter Watch ants reappear by lunch Most assume ants are just a seasonal nuisance a fact of life in the Pacific Northwest. But here’s what no one tells you: If you’re still seeing ants, it’s not a “few strays.” It’s an entire colony, alive and well, feeding on your kitchen like it’s a buffet. And every time you spray, you’re teaching them to hide better. The Hidden Problem: Seattle’s Perfect Ant Breeding Grounds Seattle’s mild, wet climate doesn’t just keep your lawn green it gives ants 10 months of ideal nesting conditions.Unlike other regions, where colonies die off in winter, ours survive year-round. That means… Bigger Colonies: Some nests here reach over 50,000 ants. Multiple Queens: Kill one queen, the others keep laying eggs. Permanent Trails: Pheromone highways stay active season after season. You’re not fighting a random invasion. You’re fighting an ecosystem. The Breakthrough: Stop Fighting Ants, Start Outsmarting Them AMPM Exterminators doesn’t sell “ant control.”We sell colony collapse and that’s very different. Instead of repelling ants or killing the few you see, we flip the problem around: We make them take the poison home. Our baits and non-repellent treatments turn every forager into a delivery truck carrying a microscopic payload straight to the queen. We let them work for us. The more ants you see in the first few days, the faster the colony is collapsing. We shut the door when it’s over. Once the colony is gone, we seal entry points so the next wave never makes it inside. This isn’t “pest control.” It’s colony level warfare, and it works. The AMPM Difference: We Don’t Just Treat, We Prove It Most companies spray, leave, and hope for the best.We measure success by what you don’t see: No ants on day 10. No trails reappearing in two weeks. No call backs three months later. If they come back, so do we free. The Smartest Money You’ll Spend This Year Every can of spray you buy, every DIY trap you set, every hour you spend cleaning that’s time and money lost to a losing battle. You don’t need to keep reacting.You can solve this permanently.
