Ants may be small, but they can become a big nuisance when they invade your home. Whether it’s tiny sugar ants in your kitchen or carpenter ants damaging your wood structures, the key is quick and effective action.

At Elite Pest Control, we help homeowners across Vancouver, Surrey, and the Lower Mainland deal with persistent ant problems. Here’s everything you need to know about ant infestations and how to stop them.

🐜 Common Types of Ants in BC Homes

• Carpenter Ants – Known for damaging wooden structures.

• Pavement Ants – Often found under concrete or tiles.

• Odorous House Ants – Release a foul smell when crushed.

• Pharaoh Ants – Can spread bacteria and are hard to control.

🔎 Signs You Have an Ant Problem

• Ant trails in kitchens or along walls

• Small piles of sawdust (carpenter ants)

• Nesting in cracks, crevices, or damp wood

• Food contamination and visible colonies

✅ How to Get Rid of Ants

1. Eliminate Food Sources

Keep surfaces clean, store food in sealed containers, and wipe up spills immediately.

2. Seal Entry Points

Use caulking to close cracks around windows, doors, and foundations.

3. Use Ant Baits and Traps

Commercial ant baits attract ants, which then carry the poison back to the colony.

4. Call a Professional

For infestations, DIY won’t be enough. Book a professional ant removal service with us for long-term relief.
