Ant Control & Ant Exterminator Services Ant Extermination Ant extermination starts with identifying the type of ant infestation. There are many ant species that populate the King County and Seattle, Washington region. Ant Pest Control Urban and suburban areas all have issues with ant pest control. Certain ants, such as carpenter ants, can compromise the structural integrity of your home or business. Even ants commonly called “sugar ants” might seem harmless until they swarm your kitchen. Inside vs Outside Ant Control Ant extermination extends beyond the walls of your home structure. Some ant species in the Seattle region can cause real problems from outside your home. For example, carpenter ants have multiple nest sites—some within the structure and others in nearby stumps, logs, or trees. They can pose a real threat to your home or business structure from all sides. They burrow through the walls and can create vast networks of tunnels. With enough time, they can cause costly structural damage to your home or business. Ant infestations inside the structure can also compromise sanitation. Many types of ants will taint food stored in a home. Ant control protects your food storage as well as your food-prep surfaces. Pest control experts use techniques to protect your food and kitchen from ant infestation. Ant Control Solution Each type of ant causes different kinds of harm. Our expert technicians will assess each situation to evaluate the ant problem. Pest control experts know how to spot the difference between species. This allows them to use the most effective ant control solutions to remove your ant infestation. Structural Damage Caused by Ants Certain types of ants, such as carpenter ants, cause damage to the structure. They can burrow their nests in wood, and these nests can cause structural damage and jeopardize the integrity of the structure. Our ant control experts have an experienced eye on what to look for and will take the necessary action to exterminate the ant infestation. Ongoing ant control will protect your house structure from carpenter ant re-infestation. Why Use a Professional Ant Exterminator Service? Getting rid of ants is not as simple as spraying some pest control solution on a counter and hoping for the best. That could be hazardous to you and actually disperse the ants without eliminating them. Our ant control exterminators have the experience and knowledge to not only identify the ant species but to accurately treat your ant problem safely and effectively. There are types of ants where insecticide sprays make things worse. For example, when faced with insecticide sprays, Tapinoma sessile—the odorous house ant—will actually split up and make more nests. In this case, using off-the-shelf solutions could double, triple, or quadruple your ant infestation. Effective ant control means using the right tools and extermination methods. Not all ants are equal, and our experts know how to attack each species.

Seattle Inspections Small Sugar Ant & Kitchen Ant Infestation Removal

Expert Ant Inspections and Targeted Extermination for Seattle Kitchens & Businesses

If you’ve noticed tiny black ants crawling across your kitchen counter, around your sink, or near stored food, you’re likely dealing with a sugar ant infestation. Commonly known as little black ants, these pests are a frequent problem for Seattle homeowners and businesses. But spotting them is only the beginning effective control starts with a professional inspection.

Why Sugar Ant Inspections Matter

Small ants are more than a nuisance. Once indoors, they form colonies deep inside wall voids, insulation, or moisture-damaged wood. Over-the-counter sprays may kill a few visible ants, but without locating and treating the nest and entry points, the infestation will return.

That’s why comprehensive ant inspections are the most important step in any successful pest control plan.

Thorough Inspections: The First Step in Lasting Ant Control

At AMPM Exterminators, every service begins with a detailed property inspection by a licensed technician. Our goal is to detect the source of the problem — not just treat the symptoms.

During your inspection, we check for:

  • Ant trails and movement patterns
  • Entry points around windows, doors, baseboards, and plumbing
  • Moisture sources in kitchens, bathrooms, and basements
  • Nesting activity inside walls, insulation, or exterior cracks
  • Food and water attractants, including pet bowls, garbage, or spills

Our inspections are designed to identify why ants are entering, where they are nesting, and how to stop them for good.

Targeted Treatment Following Inspection

Once we’ve completed your inspection and identified the root cause, we develop a customized extermination plan. This may include:

  • Gel baits and non-repellent insecticides that ants carry back to the colony
  • Perimeter treatments to prevent future access
  • Crack and crevice treatments in kitchens, cabinetry, or utility areas
  • Sealing entry points to close off access routes

By combining inspection findings with safe, effective treatments, we eliminate ants where they live not just where you see them.
