Ant Control

Sacramento Ant Pest Control 

At All-in-One Pest Control we understand which ant treatment methods are most effective when dealing with ant colonies. Ants can be one of the most persistent pests due to queens laying as many as 800 eggs in one day. These eggs develop into ant workers which travel long distances searching for food. These pests can find the smallest entry points using any crack or crevice to gain entry into your home. Our team of pest control specialists are experienced and trained in ant extermination. We will provide regular on-going ant services so our exterminators can find signs of ant activity and eliminate them before they become a full-blown infestation. All in One offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee for each of our customers. Our technicians are standing by to schedule your first pest control inspection and treatment. Give us a call!

How to Get Rid of Ants

Ants are very social insects and live in large colonies. To get rid of ants All in One Pest Control uses ant control treatment plans aimed at killing the entire colony. Using typical over the counter ant spray from Home Depot to kill the line of ants in your kitchen will not solve the problem. Ants will continue to come back unless the source of the problem is treated.

 

There are many different reasons why ants may enter your home. Many times, they are in search of food, water or shelter. We often see ant activity fluctuate with the weather. Ants can enter your home through small openings, cracks, and crevices. Once ants find what they are looking for, they leave a pheromone trail that will attract the rest of the colony. Ant control in Northern California is a very common concern. 

Ant Treatments

Our team can treat and get rid of nests inside walls, in the yard, in the cracks of your driveway, and anywhere they might be found. All in One Pest Control uses professional products that have a transfer effect allowing us to use minimal amounts of product for maximum control. Our guaranteed ant control services will take care of not just the ant scouts you see in your kitchen but eliminate the entire colony at its source.



  1. Inspection - The first and most important step to get rid of ants is a thorough inspection. Ants can often be found inside along carpet edges, door frames, windows, coming out of light fixtures and all areas in kitchens and bathrooms. Ants can often be found outside around foundation walls, garden areas and vegetation, grass edges, cracks in cement and ground cover areas such as mulch. You can often follow ant trails to find the ant nests on your property. Sometimes ant nests can even be found inside walls. 
  2. Local Spot Treatment – Ants that have found themselves inside will be killed with a low toxicity chemical pesticide. Pheromone trails that lead ants to the food source will be targeted as well so ants that follow the pheromones will be killed as they come in contact with the spray.
  3. Exterior Perimeter Treatment – This exterior chemical barrier is designed to prevent ants from making their way inside a home or business. Once applied, ants can’t penetrate this line of defense without infecting themselves and then dying.
  4. Ant Bait Poisons – Poison bait traps are an effective method of ant control if ants have made it inside. The poison is picked up by the workers and brought back to the colony which then causes a colony collapse as the colony is infected with poison.

Common Types of Ants in Northern California

How to Tell the Difference Between Flying Ants and Termites 

Ants and Termites are very similar. There are a few key differences that allow us to tell them apart. Termites have a one-piece body while ants have a segmented waist. Termites have straight antennae and ants have bent or elbowed antennae. Termites have 2 sets of wings that are the same size and much longer than their bodies. Ants have 2 sets of wings. One pair is smaller than the other, and the wings are about the same length or shorter than the body. 

 

The most common types of ants we see here are Argentine ants, carpenter ants, crazy ants, fire ants, ghost ants, leafcutter ants, odorous house ants, pavement ants and pharaoh ants. All in One understands the different behavior patterns for each type of ant and the importance of knowing this is in achieving the best level of ant control possible.

Carpenter Ants vs Termites 

Unlike Termites, Carpenter ants do not actually eat wood as a food source. Carpenter ants will tunnel into wood to make their nests. Carpenter ants are generally found to be most active in the evening when they are foraging for food and water both inside and outside. There are a few things you can do to prevent a Carpenter Ant infestation or a subterranean/dry wood termite infestation either before or after a guaranteed ant or termite service from All in One Pest Control:
