How to Get Rid of Ants in Your Southern California Home

If you've ever wiped out a trail of ants only to see them return days later, you're dealing with Southern California's most common invader: the Argentine ant.

Why they keep coming back

Argentine ants form massive interconnected colonies with many queens. Killing the ants you see does nothing to the colony, so they simply re-route. Sprays from the store often make it worse by causing the colony to split (budding).

What actually works

• ✓Seal entry points around windows, doors, and pipes
• ✓Keep counters, sinks, and pet bowls clean and dry
• ✓Use targeted baits the workers carry back to the colony
• ✓Treat the exterior perimeter where trails originate

When to call a pro

If ants keep returning despite your best efforts, a professional perimeter treatment plus targeted baiting is the reliable fix. We'll find the entry points and stop them at the source.
