Ants
Formicidae spp.
How to Identify
– Look for tiny ant trails on counters and floors.
– Check baseboards and windows for small black ants.
– Watch for winged ants near lights in spring.
– Notice sweet stains or food crumbs with ant paths.
Health Risks
Most species pose minimal direct health risk; some deliver painful stings or bites; pavement ants and odorous house ants contaminate food; certain species may spread bacteria across food prep surfaces.
Most ants in Boise don’t spread disease. They can taint food and leave messy trails.
Our Treatment Method
Identify species before treatment; apply targeted bait (sugar or protein based on species diet), perimeter residual spray, and interior crack-and-crevice treatment; locate and treat or exclude nest.
We find the ant type first. Then we set baits and treat outside gaps.
Prevention Tips
– Store food in airtight containers and clean up crumbs and spills immediately.
– Seal cracks, gaps around pipes, and entry points along the foundation.
– Keep mulch and landscape debris away from the foundation perimeter.
– Fix leaky faucets and eliminate standing water to reduce moisture attractants.
– Trim vegetation touching the home to eliminate ant highways.
– Keep mulch and leaves away from the house.
– Fix drip lines and irrigation that wet your foundation.
– Seal cracks near pipes and doors with caulk.
– Store food in airtight bins and clean spills.
