Same-Day Inspections

Carpenter & Odorous House Ant Specialists in Des Moines, IA

Wiping out a visible ant trail does nothing to the colony behind your wall — it just breaks the scent trail temporarily. All Over Pest Control uses non-repellent baiting that ants carry back to the nest. We also check exterior mulch beds and irrigation lines, since damp mulch is a common moisture source drawing ants toward the foundation. Overwatered mulch beds right against the foundation are one of the most common ant attractants we find during inspection.
