Ants Are More Than Just a Nuisance
A few scout ants on your Boise kitchen counter can turn into thousands within weeks. Carpenter ants chew up wood framing. Pavement ants haul food back to nests under your slab. Odorous house ants split into new colonies the second you spray them with a store-bought can. The longer you wait, the worse it gets.
We tried DIY sprays for months. Green Guard found the nest in our wall within 20 minutes and eliminated the entire colony in one treatment. Haven't seen a single ant since.

Know Your Enemy: Ant Control Facts
Identification
Three ant species cause most of our calls in Boise and the Treasure Valley. Carpenter ants are large and black, and they chew through structural wood framing and window sills. Pavement ants are small and brown, nesting in driveway cracks, slab seams, and the gaps along your foundation. Odorous house ants are tiny, and they put off a sharp, rotten-coconut smell the second you crush one. Each species needs a different treatment plan.
Behavior & Habits
Ants follow pheromone trails laid by scout ants. They're attracted to moisture, food debris, and sweet substances. Carpenter ants are most active at night, excavating wood to build satellite colonies.
Health & Property Risks
Carpenter ants cause serious structural damage by hollowing out wood for nesting. All ant species contaminate food with bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli.
Warning Signs You Have an Infestation
- Small piles of sawdust near baseboards or windowsills
- Rustling sounds in walls at night
- Visible ant trails between food sources
- Discarded wings near windows or doors
- Damaged or hollow-sounding wood
How We Solve Your Pest Problem
A proven, three-step approach to complete pest elimination
INSPECT & IDENTIFY
Our certified technicians identify the ant species, locate all nests, and map entry points throughout your property.

KILL THE COLONY
We set out professional baits that worker ants haul back to the nest. That kills the queen, and the colony dies with her. No more daily reinforcements showing up on your counter.

PROTECT & PREVENT
We create a protective barrier around your home and seal entry points to prevent re-infestation.
