Ant infestations can quickly become frustrating for homeowners, showing up in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where food and moisture are present. Ants are often difficult to eliminate without professional help. Colonies can be hidden deep inside walls, under foundations, or outdoors, and disturbing them can cause ants to relocate and spread.
Ant baits are placed in areas where ants are active, typically around the perimeter of your home. The bait attracts ants and helps eliminate colonies over time, as they carry it back to the nest and share it with nestmates. Depending on the situation, this may include enclosed bait stations, or granular, liquid, or gel ant baits.
Liquid treatments can be applied around your home’s perimeter and in areas where ants are entering or traveling. The ants can pass through the treatment and spread it within the colony, helping to eliminate ants at the source rather than just repelling them.
Residual dust can be applied in cracks, wall voids, crawl spaces, and other hard-to-reach areas where ants may nest or travel. This helps provide long-lasting protection.

Local technicians who understand your area’s unique pest challenges
House ants are small but can become a nuisance indoors. They typically nest outdoors but can move inside through tiny cracks and openings around your home in search of food and moisture. House ants are included under both our PestFree365 and premium PestFree365+ plans, or a one-time ant control service.
Carpenter ants are large and typically easy to spot. They excavate wood to build their nests, and are most often found in damp or damaged wood. Carpenter ants are included under our PestFree365+ plan or our one-time ant control service.
Fire ants can be aggressive and deliver painful stings if disturbed. Because of the risks they can pose, professional removal is the safest option. Our PestFree365+ plan and one-time ant control service include fire ants.
Crazy ants are fast-moving ants that can form extremely large colonies around homes. They often require specialized treatment approaches to control large populations. Our PestFree365+ plan and one-time ant control service plan includes tawny ants.

Our tech is amazing in addressing my homes needs, and he is very professional. He came out yesterday (6-21-23) to address a mice issue my home was having along with carpenter ants. He was very understanding and communication was amazing of what my needs were since I have small pets also. He was very responsive too! At 7pm I texted him letting him know of a good amount of catches and I asked if he could come out any time today 6-22-23. He made sure I was his first stop and put more traps down and removed the mice. I definitely recommend Terminix! Couldn’t ask for better service! Thank you!

Pat is thorough. We live by a lake in a former pine woods. We had a cabin converted into a large 2 story home with basement. Because it’s definitely “country” here, 1 or 2 mice can get into basement. We are happy to have a thorough extermination process.

I have been using Terminix for years now and they are fabulous! I have not had a mouse in my house since I started using them. Hands down the best in the business.

Tech called before arrival. He was on time and very professional. He advised of all the procedures that he would be performing to take care of our pest and rodent issues. No evidence of the rodents so far. Pleased with Terminix.

These guys were fantastic in Maine! I can’t speak highly enough of them. We have a ton of critters here that all want to get in and they’re doing their best to keep them out. I opted for the exclusion service and those guys earned their pay that day. Seriously hard work. They have a customer for life now!

I had a rodent problem in my attic. They came out and found they were getting in from the basement and sealed all the holes they could find. Installed bait boxes in all the high traffic areas. 2 weeks later and I’m not hearing any activity in the attic, also found a few dead mice on glue traps. Price was a little high but you pay for peace of mind I guess.

Keep your home protected from ants with our expert ant control services! Our ant exterminators are equipped with effective strategies and treatments to eliminate infestations and prevent future issues. Here’s how it works:
A trained technician will examine your property to identify ant species, locate nests, and pinpoint entry points.
Once we've identified the problem areas, your technician will apply targeted solutions to eliminate existing ant colonies and reduce their population.
Your technician will give you personalized suggestions on how to prevent ants from returning and create protective barriers to stop future ant infestations.
Ant control costs can vary by location, property size, infestation size, and treatment type. With Terminix, you receive a customized plan targeting the specific ant species affecting your property. Our technicians will conduct a thorough inspection to identify the species and create a treatment plan tailored to your home's needs.
Sudden ant infestations can occur for several reasons, such as changes in environmental conditions or food availability. As the weather warms up, ants may enter homes in search of food and shelter, especially if their outdoor nests are disturbed by rain or construction. Leftover food, spilled liquids, or unsealed garbage can also attract ants indoors.
Common signs of an ant infestation include ant trails (especially in kitchens or near food sources), small dirt or soil nests, and ants entering through cracks or crevices in walls and foundations. If you notice these signs, Terminix ant control services can help prevent the problem from escalating.
While over-the-counter ant sprays, vinegar, essential oils, and other DIY methods may seem like a quick fix, they are not effective for long-term ant control. These products do not last long, may need frequent reapplication, and do not address any underlying issues. Terminix's ant exterminators use effective treatment strategies to help get rid of ants from your home and eliminate the entire colony.
Ants can nest in various places, so finding all of them may be challenging. Terminix ant exterminators are the best resource for locating ant nests, as they have the expertise and tools to identify and eliminate the infestation effectively. To look for them on your own, check these common places:
