Detailed Ant Control Services
Our residential and commercial ant control service is designed to provide comprehensive protection against ant infestations. We use a multi-faceted approach tailored to the specific ant species and the unique circumstances of your property. Our process includes:
Inspection and Identification
We begin with a thorough inspection of your property to identify the ant species, locate their nests, and assess the extent of the infestation. Accurate identification is crucial for selecting the most effective treatment methods. Our trained technicians know where to look for ant activity and can quickly pinpoint problem areas.
Treatment Plan Development
Based on our findings, we develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and concerns. We take into account factors such as the type of ant, the size of the infestation, and any environmental sensitivities. Our goal is to provide effective ant control while minimizing any potential risks to your family, pets, or the environment.
Targeted Ant Treatments
We use a combination of targeted treatments to eliminate existing ant colonies and prevent future infestations. These treatments may include baits, sprays, dusts, and granules, applied strategically to areas where ants are most active. We prioritize low-toxicity options whenever possible, ensuring the safety of your property and those who inhabit it.
Exterior Perimeter Treatments
To prevent ants from entering your home or business, we apply a protective barrier around the exterior perimeter of the structure. This barrier acts as a deterrent, preventing ants from crossing into your property. Our perimeter treatments are designed to be long-lasting and effective, providing ongoing protection against ant infestations. Give us a call today!
Interior Ant Treatments
If ants have already made their way inside, we use targeted treatments to eliminate them from within. We focus on areas where ants are commonly found, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and pantries. Our interior treatments are designed to be discreet and effective, eliminating ants without disrupting your daily routine.
Follow-Up Services
We provide follow-up services to ensure that our ant control treatments are effective and that your property remains ant-free. We will monitor your property for any signs of ant activity and make any necessary adjustments to our treatment plan.

Common Ant Problems in Santa Barbara
Ants are one of the most common household pests, and Santa Barbara is no exception. Understanding the types of problems they cause can help you recognize the need for professional ant control services.
Contaminated Food Supplies
Ants will invade your pantry and kitchen in search of food, contaminating everything they touch. This can lead to food waste and potential health risks. Our ant control services ensure your food remains safe and uncontaminated by eliminating ant colonies and preventing them from accessing your food supplies.
Damage to Property
Certain ant species, such as carpenter ants, can cause structural damage by tunneling through wood. This can compromise the integrity of your home or business. Our comprehensive ant control includes identifying and treating carpenter ant infestations to protect your property from costly damage. Give us a call today!
Nesting in Walls and Foundations
Ants often build nests in hard-to-reach places, such as walls, foundations, and other hidden areas. This makes them difficult to eliminate with DIY methods. Our experienced technicians can locate these nests and use targeted treatments to eradicate the entire colony, providing long-term ant control.
Unsightly Trails and Swarms
Visible ant trails and swarms can be unsightly and disruptive, especially in business environments. They can also be a sign of a larger infestation.

Signs You Need Professional Ant Control
Knowing when to call a professional for ant control can save you time, money, and frustration. Here are some key signs that indicate you need expert assistance:
Persistent Ant Infestations
If you've tried DIY ant control methods without success, it's time to call a professional. Persistent ant infestations often indicate a large or well-established colony that requires specialized treatment. Santa Barbara Pest Pros can provide effective solutions for even the most stubborn ant problems.
Large Numbers of Ants
Seeing large numbers of ants in your home or business is a clear sign of an infestation. This could mean that there are multiple colonies nearby, which could spread to other areas of your building. Rely on our rodent control as well, to keep your business free of pests.
Visible Ant Nests
Discovering ant nests in or around your property is a serious concern. These nests can house thousands of ants, making it difficult to eliminate them on your own. Our technicians are skilled at locating and destroying ant nests to prevent future infestations.
Damage to Wood
If you notice unexplained damage to wooden structures, it could be the work of carpenter ants. This type of damage requires immediate attention to prevent further structural issues. We serve all of Santa Barbara, so let a local pest control company like us handle your pest problems.
Dealing with a pest infestation is never a fun experience, but we are here to help get you back on the right path. Schedule an appointment today!
Strange smells/odors
Some ants, like odorous house ants, emit a foul odor when crushed. While the source can be easily identified, its always a sign that there could be more ants than you imagined.
Ants constantly reappearing
A recurring ant problem can be very costly, both literally and figuratively. You may lose food, have your business or home damaged, have to take time out of your day to deal with an infestation, etc. If you're losing time, food and money, it's time to call a professional!
Proven Prevention Methods
Preventing ant infestations is just as important as treating them. Here are some proven prevention methods that can help keep your Santa Barbara property ant-free:
Seal Cracks and Openings
Seal any cracks or openings in your foundation, walls, and around pipes to prevent ants from entering your home or business. This will eliminate potential entry points and make it more difficult for ants to gain access to your property. We also serve the surrounding area, including Carpinteria, Summerland, and Solvang.
Keep Food Properly Stored
Store food in airtight containers to prevent ants from accessing it. Clean up any spills or crumbs immediately to eliminate potential food sources. A clean and well-organized kitchen is less attractive to ants and other pests. We also off wildlife control to help keep your property safe!
Maintain a Clean Environment
Regularly clean your home or business to remove any potential food sources or nesting sites for ants. Pay attention to areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and pantries, where ants are most likely to be found.
Trim Vegetation
Trim vegetation and keep bushes and trees away from your home or business to prevent ants from using them as bridges to gain access to your property. This will also reduce the amount of moisture and shade around your building, making it less attractive to ants.
