Ant Control
Effective interior and exterior ant control targeting colonies at the source.
Professional Ant Control in New York
Ant infestations can range from a minor nuisance to a significant problem depending on the species and location. Pavement ants, carpenter ants, and odorous house ants are among the most common species affecting New York properties. Effective ant control requires identifying the species present and treating the colony at its source — not just the trails you can see. CitiWide uses targeted baiting, perimeter treatment, and exclusion strategies to eliminate ant activity and prevent re-entry.
How We Work
Inspection & Species ID
We identify the ant species, locate nesting sites, and trace entry points. Carpenter ants nesting in wood and pavement ants nesting outdoors require different treatment strategies.
Baiting
We place ant baits in key foraging areas, allowing worker ants to carry active ingredients back to the colony — eliminating the population at the source.
Perimeter Treatment
We treat the building exterior, foundation, and entry points with residual products to prevent new colonies from entering the structure.
Exclusion & Prevention
We identify and recommend sealing of entry points and make environmental modifications to reduce conditions attractive to ants.

Common Questions
Why do ants keep coming back after treatment?
Perimeter sprays alone don't eliminate the colony. Our approach combines colony-targeting baits with exterior treatment, addressing the root cause rather than just visible ants.
Are carpenter ants dangerous?
Carpenter ants don't eat wood, but they excavate it to build nests — which can cause structural damage over time. We recommend prompt treatment if carpenter ants are found inside your home.
