Toronto’s urban environment offers an ideal setting for ants to grow. Although not all ant species are the same, knowledge of their type and behavior can make ant pest control easier.
We understand that ants, especially carpenter ants, are a matter of great concern for Toronto property owners due to the structural damage they cause. For this reason, SafeHome professional ant control services specifically target and exterminate foraging ants and their entire colonies to protect your property and health.
Ants have different forms (larvae, pupae, workers, reproductive adults, and a queen) that live in colonies. Worker ants are one of the most destructive castes that forage for food and defend nests.
Pharaoh ants are known for transmitting harmful bacteria, carpenter ants carve through wood for nesting, and pavement ants contaminate your food. Hence, their timely elimination is crucial for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Our Ant Control Process
SafeHome Pest Control Service identifies the ant type, locates their nests, removes attractants and uses the right product considering ant species. Our ant control exterminators have the knowledge and tools to find, eliminate and prevent ant infestation from your property.
01
Ant Control Inspection
A licensed ant control exterminator will visit your property to inspect whether you have ants, check the severity of the ants’ activity and identify factors attracting them to your home. For instance, sawdust piles can be an indication of carpenter ant presence, while small, dark and trailing could be odorous house ants.
Based on the inspection, our exterminator will develop a detailed ant control plan targeting the entire ant colony and hand it over to you for review.
02
Ant Control Treatment
Our commercial ant control services strategically place baits so ants transport them to their nests, leading to the complete elimination of ant colonies. We also apply non-toxic and eco-friendly sprays to affected areas to reduce ant populations and use dust treatment in wall voids and hidden spaces to eradicate ant nests.
Our ant control exterminators do not stop here; they guide you to seal all gaps and cracks in windows, walls, and foundations to prevent ant access. They suggest effective sanitation practices to keep areas free of food debris and water that can attract ants. This eliminates all threats of future infestation.
SafeHome Ant Control Warranty
Our eco-friendly and non-toxic products help in maintaining a pest-free environment. Our ant pest control also offers a one-year treatment warranty for customers.
You can request that the warranty be transferred to the next owner if the home is sold.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are the symptoms of an ant infestation?
Ants can be of different types, so each has unique behavior and habits. For instance, if you notice sawdust near wooden structures, it’s a sign of carpenter ants. Routine sightings of ants around food and water resources also strongly indicate ant infestation.
Which types of ants are common in Toronto?
Carpenter, odorous, pharaoh, and pavement ants are some species that infest homes in Toronto and its suburbs. Carpenter ants destroy your wooden structure, costing you thousands, while odorous ants raid your kitchen for sweets. Each of them has unique habits and needs targeted solutions.
How do ants enter a property?
Food, water and shelter are three attractions that bring ants indoors. They can enter your place through window and door gaps, small cracks and wiring or plumbing openings.
How do you keep ants away from the kitchen?
You should store food in airtight containers, keep the counters clean and seal their entry points. They can also be attracted to garbage searching for leftover food, so they clean the garbage regularly.
Are ants just a nuisance or dangerous to health?
Although most ant species are considered harmless, some of them can cause significant damage to your health and structure. For instance, the carpenter ant is famous for destroying wood, the pharaoh ant spreads bacteria, and other ants contaminate food.
Does ant activity have any connection with the weather?
Yes. Ants usually remain active during warmer months. However, they can seek refuge indoors in the colder season for warmth and food. Moreover, the rainy season can also drive them into homes.
Do ants pose a threat to homes or affect commercial establishments as well?
Food and hospitality services are more prone to ant infestations due to the abundance of water and food availability. This is why routine pest control is necessary in a commercial setting.
How long is the process of eliminating ants?
After inspecting your property, a pest control expert can inform you about the timeline. Minor ant infestations are removed within a few days. However, the process of eliminating larger ant colonies takes a few weeks.
What are the consequences of ignoring an ant infestation?
Ignoring the problem can cause property damage, health problems and food contamination. Moreover, as the infestation grows, it will become harder to control.
Do regular pest control services prevent ants?
Licensed pest control services identify the initial signs of infestation. They implement preventive measures to keep your property safe year-round.
