Carpenter ants hollow out damp or damaged wood rather than eating it, which means their presence often signals a moisture problem worth investigating too. Species identification happens on the first visit, since the right bait for odorous house ants isn't the same formulation that works on pavement ants or fire ants.
A technician checks for carpenter ant frass and moisture damage in addition to standard trail mapping.


Our Ant Control crew is trained on species-specific colony behavior, not just surface spraying.
We prioritize fire ant mound calls given the sting risk to kids and pets.
You'll know the full cost before any bait station or barrier spray goes down.
Our toolkit includes species-specific bait formulations, since carpenter ants and odorous house ants respond to different attractants.
We trace frass (wood shavings) piles back to the actual nest location, often inside a wall void or damaged sill plate.
We use non-repellent bait specifically because a startled odorous house ant colony can split and multiply the problem.
Pavement ants nest under slabs, walkways, and foundations, so exterior perimeter treatment targets those specific access points.
Fire ant mounds get direct mound treatment plus a broader yard bait application to catch satellite colonies nearby.
New Hope restaurants and retail spaces get scheduled bait monitoring to prevent recurring trails near food storage areas.
A perimeter barrier around the foundation reduces new trails from forming after the initial colony is addressed.

Call +1-844-564-2570 and describe the trail location — kitchen counter, foundation, or yard mound — for the right New Hope dispatch.
A technician arrives with species-specific bait and non-repellent barrier product ready for New Hope ant calls.
We trace the trail, identify the species, and quote a flat price covering interior and exterior treatment.
Bait and barrier treatment go down the same visit, with a follow-up to confirm the colony has been eliminated.
We'd sprayed the visible trail ourselves for months with no luck. Non-repellent bait cleared the whole colony within two weeks.
The mound treatment plus yard bait meant no new mounds popped up nearby afterward.
Having a documented ant program helped us pass our last health inspection without issue.
Pavement ants kept coming up through a crack in our patio slab every summer until the perimeter treatment finally sealed that off for good.

No matter which New Hope neighborhood you're in, a technician equipped for ant-specific treatment can reach you the same day. Whether you're dealing with a single trail or a full yard of fire ant mounds, the same crew and pricing structure applies everywhere we service New Hope.

Surface spray kills visible ants but rarely reaches the actual nest, so the trail usually returns within days.
Yes — while they don't eat wood like termites, nesting in structural wood can still cause damage over time if left untreated.
Bait stations are enclosed and placed out of reach, and we'll walk you through placement locations during the visit.
Full elimination timing depends on colony size, but visible activity usually drops within the first week.
Fire ants are treated with both immediate mound knockdown and a longer-acting yard-wide approach.
Commercial ant programs include documented visits so you have records ready for any health inspection.
