Why Do I Have Ants?

Ants are small, but incredibly persistent. They’re usually drawn inside by food, water, or shelter—especially during spring and summer when outdoor colonies grow aggressively.

In the Boise area, we most commonly see:

Odorous House Ants – Small, black ants that give off a “rotten coconut” smell when crushed; attracted to sweets and moisture
Pavement Ants – Nest in cracks in concrete or under patios and driveways
Carpenter Ants – Larger ants that tunnel into damp or rotting wood, causing structural damage over time

Once ants find what they’re looking for, they leave a pheromone trail that leads the entire colony straight to your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room.

Signs of an Ant Infestation

Not sure if you have a problem yet? Here are some common signs:

Trails of ants, especially near sinks, baseboards, windows, or pantry items
Tiny piles of sawdust (can signal carpenter ants in wood)
Ants swarming around crumbs, spills, or pet food bowls
Winged ants (swarmers) near windows, often confused with termites
Recurring ants even after DIY sprays or bait traps

If you’re seeing any of these, the ants you see are just the tip of the iceberg—the real problem is often hidden deep in walls, under floors, or outside in satellite nests.

Are Ants Dangerous?

While most household ants are more annoying than dangerous, carpenter ants can cause serious structural damage over time by burrowing into wood. Some ants can also bite or contaminate food, and large infestations can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

Plus, let’s face it—nobody wants to live with bugs crawling around the kitchen.

Our Approach to Ant Control

At Boise Pest Pros, we don’t just spray and hope for the best. Ants are smart, organized, and resilient—so we take a targeted, multi-step approach to eliminate colonies and keep them from coming back.

Our ant control services include:

Detailed inspection to find entry points, trails, and nests
Baiting strategies that eliminate ants at the source (not just the surface)
Perimeter treatments using professional-grade, long-lasting products
Interior treatments, if needed, that are safe around kids and pets
Crack and crevice sealing guidance to help block reentry points

Because ants are an all-season issue in Boise, our quarterly program is the best way to stay ahead of them. You get guaranteed year-round protection—with free re-treatments if they ever come back between visits.

How to Prevent Ants at Home

Here are a few helpful ways to make your home less attractive to ants:

Keep food sealed, especially sugary snacks, cereals, and pet food
Wipe up spills quickly, especially in kitchens and bathrooms
Take out trash regularly, and rinse recycling bins
Fix water leaks, especially under sinks or behind toilets
Seal gaps and cracks around baseboards, windows, and doors
Keep branches trimmed away from siding or roofing

Even with great habits, ants can still find their way in—which is where we come in.
