Ants may be small, but they can cause big problems when they invade your home or business. Whether they’re contaminating food, damaging wood structures, or forming large colonies, ants are persistent pests that require professional treatment to eliminate them at the source.
At True Guard Pest & Wildlife, we provide expert ant control services in Washington, using targeted treatments and long-term prevention strategies to keep your property ant-free.
Ants reproduce quickly, so early detection is key to preventing a full-blown infestation. Look for these common signs:
✔ Visible Ant Trails – Ants travel in organized trails, often leading to food or water sources.
✔ Wood Shavings or Sawdust – A sign of carpenter ants tunneling through wood structures.
✔ Small Dirt Mounds Near Your Home – Indicating an outdoor nest of pavement ants or thatching ants.
✔ Ants in Your Kitchen or Pantry – Odorous house ants and pavement ants are drawn to sweets, proteins, and moisture.
✔ Soft or Damaged Wood – Possible carpenter ant activity, which can weaken support beams, decks, and wooden structures.
If you notice any of these signs, quick action is necessary to prevent the infestation from growing.
At True Guard Pest & Wildlife, we use proven, science-based methods to eliminate ants and prevent them from returning.

No. Most over-the-counter sprays only kill visible ants, leaving the colony intact. This can actually make the problem worse, as the colony may relocate or split into multiple colonies.
The timeline varies depending on the species and severity of the infestation. Some infestations can be resolved in days, while larger colonies may take a few weeks for complete eradication.
Yes! We use low-toxicity and eco-friendly treatments that are safe for pets and family members when applied correctly.
