Frequently Asked Questions about Ant control in West Loop

Ants leave scent trails that attract other ants to food sources. Unless the colony is eliminated, activity often continues.

Carpenter ants don’t eat wood like termites, but they can tunnel through damp or damaged wood, potentially causing structural damage over time. Additional information can be found at IDPH.

DIY products may reduce visible ants but often don’t eliminate the entire colony. Professional treatment targets the source of the infestation.

Food crumbs, sugary foods, grease, pet food, moisture, and easy access into the building all attract ants.

Most treatments are completed during a single service visit, though larger infestations or certain species may require follow-up treatment.
