Ants Are More Than Just a Nuisance
What starts as a few scout ants in your kitchen can quickly turn into thousands invading your home. Carpenter ants cause structural damage, contaminate food, and reproduce at alarming rates. The longer you wait, the worse it gets.
We tried DIY sprays for months. Green Guard found the nest in our wall within 20 minutes and eliminated the entire colony in one treatment. Haven't seen a single ant since.

Know Your Enemy: Ant Control Facts
Identification
In Boise and the Treasure Valley, we commonly see three types: Carpenter ants (large, black, destructive to wood), Pavement ants (small, brown, nest in cracks), and Odorous house ants (tiny, emit foul smell when crushed). Each requires a different treatment approach.
Behavior & Habits
Ants follow pheromone trails laid by scout ants. They're attracted to moisture, food debris, and sweet substances. Carpenter ants are most active at night, excavating wood to build satellite colonies.
Health & Property Risks
Carpenter ants cause serious structural damage by hollowing out wood for nesting. All ant species contaminate food with bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli.
Warning Signs You Have an Infestation
- Small piles of sawdust near baseboards or windowsills
- Rustling sounds in walls at night
- Visible ant trails between food sources
- Discarded wings near windows or doors
- Damaged or hollow-sounding wood
