Ant ControlIn Port Dover
Kitchen trails after damp weather are common in Port Dover homes and cottages. We treat pavement ants, carpenter ants, and pharaoh ants inside — and around the foundation when needed — not just the counter you wiped.
Straight answer
Yes — Port Dover Pest treats ants inside your home. For the most part we work indoors and along the foundation (perimeter). We do not do broad yard treatments unless there are active nest hills outside. Pavement ants and carpenter ants are the usual calls; pharaoh ants show up too. Carpenter ants are destructive wood-boring insects — tell us if you see large black ants or sawdust-like frass. Call (519) 900-5699.
Common in Port Dover
Ants we treat in Port Dover
Most calls are pavement ants, carpenter ants, or pharaoh ants. We treat inside the home and on or around the foundation — not the whole yard unless there are active nest hills.
Pavement ants
Common kitchen trails. Treated inside and along the foundation — not a full outdoor spray unless hills are active.
Carpenter ants
Destructive wood-boring insects. They can nest in damp or damaged wood — mention sawdust-like frass or large black ants on the phone.
Pharaoh ants
Small indoor ants that spread through walls and warm spots. Need a careful indoor plan — not a random counter wipe.
Where we treat
Inside the home, and on or around the foundation. Outside only when there are active nest hills.

Questions customers ask
Straight answers before you dial.
Will store baits fix it?
Sometimes for a light trail. Call when ants return every week, spread rooms, or look like carpenter ants.
Do you treat carpenter ants?
Yes. Carpenter ants are destructive wood-boring insects — different from sugar ants. Mention sawdust-like frass, hollow-sounding wood, or large black ants on the phone.
Is treatment safe in the kitchen?
We place products where ants travel and keep food-prep areas in mind. You’ll get clear re-entry timing.
How is pricing set?
Typical range on the free phone estimate based on species and how widespread the trails are.
