ANTS WE TREAT

Carpenter, Pavement, Pharaoh and Fire Ant Control

Each species nests and feeds differently, so each one needs its own plan.

Carpenter Ant Control

Large black ants that nest in damp wood around your home.

Pavement Ant Control

Small dark ants nesting under driveways, slabs and patios.

Pharaoh Ant Control

Tiny pale ants that spread through warm, heated buildings.

Fire Ant Control

Invasive European fire ants that sting in lawns and gardens.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Signs You Have an Ant Problem

Ant trails

A steady line of ants means a nest is close by.

Sawdust piles

Fine wood shavings point to carpenter ants nesting in wood.

Flying ants indoors

Winged ants inside usually mean a mature colony nearby.

Soil in paving cracks

Small soil piles show pavement ants nesting underneath.

Rustling in walls

Faint sounds in woodwork can mean ants are tunnelling.

Ants near sinks

Ants gathering by water often lead back to a damp spot.

WHY EARLY ACTION MATTERS

Why Ants Need Quick Action

Ant colonies grow quietly. Acting early limits the damage and stops the spread.

Colonies grow and split

Some species form new nests when disturbed, spreading further.

Wood damage

Carpenter ants hollow out damp wood in decks, frames and walls.

Food and stings

Ants contaminate food, and European fire ants sting people and pets.

Tip: don’t spray the trail. It kills the ants you see, but the nest survives.

OUR ANT CONTROL PROCESS

Four Simple Stages to an Ant-Free Home

Inspect

We identify the species, follow the trails and find the nest.

Treat

Targeted treatment goes where the colony lives and feeds.

Seal

We point out the gaps and damp wood that let ants in.

Monitor

Follow-up visits until the trails have stopped.

NEST-FIRST METHODS

Ant Control That Targets the Nest

Store sprays kill the ants you see. We go after the colony and its queen instead.

Targeted baiting

Worker ants carry the bait home and share it with the queen.

Perimeter treatment

A barrier outside helps stop new ants getting in.

Moisture and entry-point advice

Fixing damp wood and gaps stops colonies returning.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Every Ant Treatment Includes

Ant species identified
Nest and trails located
Targeted baits and treatment

LOCAL ANT ADVICE

Ant Control Tips for Lower Mainland Homes

Ants wake up in March and April here and stay busy right through summer.

Which ant is it?

Ant	Look	Where	Risk
Carpenter	Large, black	Damp wood, decks, window frames	Wood damage
Pavement	Small, dark brown	Under slabs and driveways	Food contamination
Pharaoh	Tiny, pale yellow	Warm, heated buildings	Spreads if sprayed
European fire	Small, reddish	Lawns, gardens, under stones	Painful stings

Each species needs a different treatment, so identification comes first.

Fix leaks and replace damp wood.
Trim branches back from the roof and siding.
Seal gaps around pipes and cables.
Stack firewood off the ground, away from the house.

A few ants by the back door? Store bait stations may do. Call us if you notice:

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional service by a local Canadian owned company. We called Exopest at 9pm on a Friday night and Manager Kashif Naseer picked up the phone! He was at our home in less than 24 hours. A significant mouse problem was irradiated 24 hours later. Kashif is a true professional: polite, proficient, he educated us, and he solved the problem for us. Could not be happier to recommend this company. Thank you Exopest!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kashif just left.  Bald faced Hornets nest hanging in our front yard tree is safely deactivated.  Minor activity still but he said it should be dormant by tomorrow.  Super responsive and really nice guy.  I checked prices and he's extremely reasonably priced.  Easily 5 stars.  Would recommend and call again anytime for services if needed!  Thanks Kashif and Exopest!

HELPFUL ANSWERS

Ant Control FAQs

Answers to the questions BC homeowners, landlords and businesses ask most before booking ant control.

Why do ants keep coming back?

Usually because the nest was never treated. The queen keeps laying eggs, so new workers replace the ones you kill within days.

Should I spray the ant trail?

We don’t recommend it. Spraying only kills the foragers, and with species like pharaoh ants it can split the colony into new nests.

Are flying ants a sign of a nest?

Often, yes. Winged ants inside your home in spring or summer usually mean a mature colony is nesting in or near the building.

Are carpenter ants dangerous to my house?

They don’t eat wood, but they tunnel through it to nest. Over time this weakens damp decks, window frames and wall framing, so early treatment matters.

Is ant treatment safe for kids and pets?

Yes. Our licensed technicians place products in targeted spots out of reach and tell you exactly how to prepare.

How long does ant control take?

Most homes see fewer ants within one to two weeks. Larger colonies, especially carpenter ants, may need a follow-up visit.

How much does ant control cost?

It depends on the type of ant, the size of the colony, your property and any follow-up visits. Call 604-760-1542 for a free quote.

Do you treat restaurants and commercial kitchens?

Yes. We treat ants in restaurants, food businesses and strata buildings, with visits planned around your opening hours.
