Ant Control in Dayton, OH

Odorous house ants, pavement ants and carpenter ants all behave differently, and carpenter ants damage structural wood. Spraying a trail kills the ants you see and splits the colony — the treatment has to reach the nest.

Ants treated by Bugs Or Us Pest Control in Dayton, Ohio

Signs you have ants

  • Trails along counters, baseboards, sinks or window frames
  • Coarse sawdust and winged swarmers indoors. All ants have a flying reproductive cycle that can be confused with termites.
  • Ant hills between driveway and patio joints
  • Activity that returns a few days after over-the-counter spray

Ants questions Dayton homeowners ask

How fast can you get out for ants?
Most Miami Valley calls are scheduled within the same week, and stinging-insect emergencies are often handled same or next day. Call the office to schedule — a licensed technician performs the treatment.
Is the treatment safe around children and pets?
Yes. We use EPA-registered products applied by a licensed applicator under ODA Company License #12706, placed where pests travel rather than where your family does. We will tell you exactly how long to stay off treated surfaces.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No. One-time service, quarterly and monthly programs are all available, and nothing auto-locks you in. Quarterly and Monthly customers get return service between visits if necessary.
