Know What to Watch For
Signs You May Have an Ant Infestation
Visible Ant Trails
If you see lines of ants moving in and out of your home or kitchen, you likely have a foraging trail leading to a food source.
Sawdust-Like Material
Carpenter ants often leave behind piles of sawdust as they tunnel through wood, especially around baseboards or window frames.
Ant Nests in Yard
Mounds in your lawn or garden, especially near sidewalks or driveways, are a common sign of fire ant colonies.
Winged Ants Indoors
Flying ants inside the home, especially around spring, may indicate a mature colony and a potential structural issue.
Rustling in Walls
Some species, like carpenter ants, make faint rustling or clicking sounds inside walls as they tunnel through wood.
Persistent Reinfestation
If ants keep returning despite DIY methods, there may be a hidden colony or attractant that needs professional attention.

Do you offer fire ant control in Austin yards?
Yes. Fire ant control is one of our specialties. We use granular baits and yard-safe treatments to eliminate fire ant colonies at the source – preventing painful stings and protecting your property.
How do I know if I have carpenter ants?
Signs of carpenter ants include large black ants indoors, rustling sounds in walls, and piles of sawdust near woodwork. We’ll inspect and confirm if carpenter ants are present and recommend the right solution.
Are your ant treatments safe for pets and kids?
Absolutely. We use EPA-approved products designed to be safe for your family and pets when applied properly. Our technicians will walk you through any necessary safety steps based on the treatment used.
Can ants cause structural damage?
Yes, especially carpenter ants. While they don’t eat wood like termites, they hollow it out to build nests, weakening the structure over time. Early detection and professional treatment are key to preventing costly damage.
