Certified Ant Specialists

Certified Ant Control in Van Meter, IA

An ant trail across the kitchen counter is just the visible tip — the actual colony, and often satellite colonies, are usually somewhere you'll never spot without tracing the trail back. Species identification happens on the first visit, since the right bait for odorous house ants isn't the same formulation that works on pavement ants or fire ants.

⏰ 24/7 Emergency Dispatch ✅ Licensed & Insured 👍 Satisfaction Guarantee

Free Ant Trail & Colony Inspection

A technician checks for carpenter ant frass and moisture damage in addition to standard trail mapping.

Service Solutions

Ant Control in Van Meter, IA: Comprehensive Solutions

🐜

Structural Wood Damage Treatment

We trace frass (wood shavings) piles back to the actual nest location, often inside a wall void or damaged sill plate.

🐜

Odorous House Ant Treatment

We use non-repellent bait specifically because a startled odorous house ant colony can split and multiply the problem.

🐜

Pavement Ant Control

Pavement ants nest under slabs, walkways, and foundations, so exterior perimeter treatment targets those specific access points.

🔥

Yard & Play-Area Safety Treatment

We prioritize fire ant calls in yards with kids or pets given the sting risk from disturbed mounds.

🏭

Commercial Ant Management Programs

Commercial accounts get documented service visits with bait station placement suited to kitchen and retail environments.

🔧

Exterior Perimeter Barrier Treatment

We reapply perimeter barrier on a recurring schedule to keep new ant activity from re-establishing.

What Van Meter Customers Say About Our Ant Control

We'd sprayed the visible trail ourselves for months with no luck. Non-repellent bait cleared the whole colony within two weeks.

The mound treatment plus yard bait meant no new mounds popped up nearby afterward.

Our restaurant kept getting ant trails near the dish station and Nex Pest Control's bait program finally stopped it for good with monitoring visits.

★★★★★

Pavement ants kept coming up through a crack in our patio slab every summer until the perimeter treatment finally sealed that off for good.
