Ant Extermination

$199.99

Complete Ant Colony Elimination in 7–14 Days

Get a Reno's ant extermination services are designed to eliminate an ant infestation by destroying entire ant colonies - queens, larvae, and worker ants - not just the visible ants marching across your countertop. With over 15,000 different species of ants worldwide, one-size-fits-all ant treatments simply don't work. Our technicians deliver a tailored solution built around the specific ant species invading your property, ensuring permanent colony elimination rather than temporary relief that requires frequent reapplication.

Most store-bought ant killer products only kill ants on the surface. Killing visible ants is often less effective than addressing the entire colony, which can contain over 100,000 ants hidden behind wall voids, beneath foundations, or deep inside damaged wood. Get a Reno targets the source - so you can get rid of ants for good and see guaranteed results within two weeks.

Why You'll Love Our Ant Extermination Service

Targets the Source – Our treatments eliminate entire colonies including queens and larvae, not just foraging worker ants. Delayed-onset poisons effectively kill entire ant colonies by letting foragers carry the active ingredient back to the nest, where it's shared among other ants before reaching queens and larvae.
Safe for Families – Every product we use is EPA-registered and applied in contained bait stations or low-exposure formats. Technicians must provide safety instructions for children and pets regarding chemical use, and once treatments dry, risk to your household is minimized. No harsh chemicals sprayed across your living spaces.
Long-Term Protection – Our integrated approach doesn't just remove ants today. By combining treatment with sealing gaps and cracks to eliminate potential entry points and eliminating food sources, we prevent future infestations and deliver long lasting protection that keeps your home ant-free for months.
Species-Specific Solutions – Not all ants respond to the same treatment. Treatment methods vary based on the ant species and the location of the nest. Whether you're dealing with carpenter ants tunneling through structural wood, fire ants building ant mounds in your yard, or odorous house ants trailing through your kitchen, we customize every plan.
Professional Expertise – Identifying ant species requires examining their exoskeleton features, nesting behavior, and trail patterns. Our trained technicians accurately pinpoint species, entry points, and nesting sites so every treatment hits the mark.

What Makes Get a Reno Different for Carpenter Ants

Most ant control services spray a perimeter barrier and leave. That may deter ants temporarily, but it won't eliminate the colony. The queen continues producing eggs, satellite nests remain active, and ants enter your home through new routes within weeks. Get a Reno is built differently:

Advanced Baiting Systems – We use slow-acting ant baits that foragers find irresistible. Non-repellent treatments allow ants to carry the pesticide back to their colony, where it spreads through the nest and reaches the queen and brood. Ant baits can eliminate entire colonies over time, making baiting the most effective method for colony elimination compared with sprays.
Comprehensive Inspection – Effective ant elimination requires identifying the nesting site of the colony. Our thorough inspection covers interiors, exteriors, attics, crawl spaces, foundations, and landscaping. We locate ant trails, nests, satellite colonies, and every potential entry point that other services miss.
Integrated Approach – Integrated Pest Management combines sanitation, habitat modification, and targeted treatments. Get a Reno doesn't rely on repeated blanket pesticide spraying. We combine effective ant control with environmental corrections - moisture repair, vegetation trimming, crack sealing - so the ant problem doesn't come back, because different ant species and nesting patterns mean ants tend to reopen activity if those issues are ignored.

How Our Ant Extermination Process Works with Ant Baits

Step 1 – Thorough Property Inspection A Get a Reno technician conducts a detailed inspection inside and outside your property. We identify the ant species, map ant trails and ant activity, and locate all nesting areas. Ants leave pheromone trails to communicate food sources, and we use those trails to trace the infestation back to its origin. Effective pest management strategies often include detailed inspections and species identification - this step is non-negotiable.
Step 2 – Targeted Treatment Application Based on our findings, we strategically place ant baits, apply residual barriers at entry points, and treat nests directly when accessible. Direct nest treatments can provide rapid control if the infestation site is accessible. For hidden colonies in wall voids or beneath slabs, we rely on delayed-action bait systems that foragers carry deep into the nest. Products like borax and diatomaceous earth may be used in specific applications - diatomaceous earth kills ants by absorbing oils from their exoskeletons, providing a low-toxicity option for sensitive areas.
Step 3 – Colony Elimination Over the following days, ant baits spread through the colony as workers feed the queen and larvae. Slow-acting baits are often used for long-term elimination of ant colonies, and this transfer effect is what makes professional treatment so much more effective than DIY methods. Ant activity decreases rapidly, and complete colony collapse follows within 7–14 days for most infestations.
Step 4 – Follow-Up Protection Get a Reno schedules follow-up visits to monitor results, replace bait stations if needed, and address any overlooked entry points. For complex infestations - particularly carpenter ants with satellite nests - additional treatments ensure no colony survives. We also advise on long term ant control measures like storing food in sealed containers, cleaning up spills promptly, and sealing cracks where ants can enter through cracks and crevices in structures.

Who Needs Professional Ant Infestation Extermination

An ant exterminator becomes essential when the infestation goes beyond what store-bought products can handle. Get a Reno's ant control services are ideal for:

Homeowners dealing with recurring ant invasions that keep coming back despite repeated DIY attempts. Ants are attracted to sweet and starchy foods left exposed, and if the colony isn't destroyed, foragers will always return.
Properties with carpenter ant infestations causing structural damage. Carpenter ants nest in moist or decaying wood and can compromise framing, siding, and support beams - damage that worsens the longer it goes untreated.
Families wanting safe, effective solutions around children and pets. Our contained bait stations and low-toxicity products let you stop ants without turning your home into a chemical zone.
Businesses needing rapid pest control to maintain sanitation standards and protect their reputation. Ants can carry pathogenic bacteria, posing health risks in food service and healthcare environments.

If you want to control ants permanently and protect your property from future infestations, Get a Reno fits your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly will I see results? Most customers notice a significant reduction in ant activity within 24–72 hours. However, complete colony elimination - including the queen and brood - typically occurs over 7–14 days for standard infestations. More complex situations involving multiple nests or carpenter ants may require 30–60 days of monitoring. You may initially see more dead ants near bait stations; this is a sign the treatment is working.

Is the treatment safe around pets and children? Yes. Get a Reno uses EPA-registered products applied in bait stations and controlled formats that minimize exposure. When used correctly and per label directions, ant baits are low risk for children and pets. Our technicians provide specific safety instructions for every treatment, and once sprays dry, contact risk is minimal. After treatment, cleaning countertops and other hard surfaces can help remove ant trails. We never rely on unnecessary harsh chemicals.

What if the ants come back? Our 90-day warranty covers you. If ant activity returns within the guarantee period, we retreat your property at no additional cost. Ant extermination requires targeting the colony rather than just visible ants, and our follow-up visits are designed to catch any surviving satellites or overlooked nests.

How much does ant extermination cost? Pricing depends on the ant species, infestation severity, property size, and number of visits needed. Common house ants like pavement ants or odorous house ants are generally less complex to treat. Carpenter ant or fire ant infestations cost more due to the structural risk and specialized treatment required. Call (929) 294-7360 for a free estimate - we provide clear written quotes before starting any work.

Can you handle all types of ants? Absolutely. Common North American ant species include carpenter and fire ants, but our technicians are trained to identify and treat the full range of species - including odorous house ants, pavement ants, pharaoh ants, and other pests. Each species has different nesting habits, food preferences, and bait requirements. That's why companies should conduct a comprehensive inspection and identify the ant species before treatment - and that's exactly what Get a Reno does.

What about other insects like bed bugs or termites? While this service focuses specifically on ant control, Get a Reno can help connect you with effective solutions for other insects and pests. Contact us at support@getareno.com to discuss your full pest control needs.

Ready to Eliminate Your Ant Problem?

Stop living with persistent ant infestations that DIY methods can't solve. Essential oils, white vinegar and a water mixture, and store-bought sprays may kill ants on contact, but they'll never reach the queen or eliminate the colony. They require frequent reapplication and deliver only temporary relief.

Choose Get a Reno's professional ant extermination and experience complete colony elimination - backed by our 90-day guarantee.
