ELIMINATING ANTS FROM YOUR HOME
Ants may seem harmless, but they can quickly become a significant problem for homeowners and businesses. These tiny invaders can contaminate food, damage property, and pose health risks. By the time you notice a few ants, a colony of thousands could already be thriving inside your walls, floors, or foundations—making eradication much more challenging. At Eradicare, we provide professional ant control in Ottawa designed to locate the source, eliminate the colony, and prevent ants from coming back.
- Ants cause up to $20 million in damage each year in Canada, affecting lawns, gardens, and your home’s structure.
- Carpenter Ants weaken structures, Fire Ants deliver painful stings, Pharaoh Ants spread salmonella, and Pavement Ants invade homes, forming large colonies. Left unchecked, these pests pose serious risks—early control is essential!
Common Ant Problems in Ottawa
Ant infestations are common in Ottawa, especially during warmer months when ants search for food and moisture indoors.
We commonly treat:
- Carpenter ants – can damage wood structures by tunneling inside
- Pavement ants – often found in kitchens, basements, and foundations
- Odorous house ants – known for spreading quickly and leaving a strong odor
Each type requires a specific treatment approach to fully eradicate the infestation.
Signs You Have an Ant Infestation
If you notice any of the following, it’s time to act:
- Ant trails along walls, countertops, or floors
- Ants gathering near food or water sources
- Small piles of debris near cracks or entry points
- Increased activity in spring and summer
Ignoring these signs can allow the colony to grow rapidly.
Why Ants Keep Coming Back
Many DIY treatments only eliminate the ants you see, while the colony—including the queen—remains active and hidden behind walls, floors, or outside near the foundation. This is why infestations often return after short-term treatments.
Some species, such as odorous house ants and pavement ants, can become especially difficult to control because:
- They may have multiple queens within a single colony
- When disturbed, the colony can split into smaller groups (budding)
- These new colonies spread to different areas and continue growing
At Eradicare, we focus on identifying and eliminating the colony at its source to break the cycle and provide long-lasting ant control in Ottawa.
