605-250-0082Effective, safe, and guaranteed solutions for ant infestations in your home or business
Ants are one of the most common household pests, and an infestation can quickly get out of control. What starts as a few scout ants can rapidly turn into multiple colonies throughout your property.
At Insight Pest Control, we specialize in identifying and eliminating ant problems of all sizes. Our comprehensive ant control services target not just the ants you see, but also their colonies, entry points, and attractants.
Our experienced technicians understand the behavior and biology of different ant species common to the Sioux City area and use this knowledge to implement effective treatment strategies for long-lasting results.
While ants may seem like merely a nuisance, they can pose significant risks to your home, health, and peace of mind. Here's why you shouldn't ignore an ant problem:
Ants can contaminate food as they travel from unsanitary areas to your kitchen. They track bacteria across surfaces and into food storage areas, potentially leading to foodborne illnesses.
Certain species like carpenter ants can cause significant structural damage to your home by excavating wood for their nests. Over time, this can weaken wooden structures and lead to costly repairs.
Some ant species, like fire ants, can deliver painful stings that cause swelling, itching, and in sensitive individuals, even serious allergic reactions. Pharaoh ants can spread disease-causing organisms in healthcare settings.
Certain ant species are attracted to electrical equipment and can cause short circuits and damage to electrical systems when they nest inside outlets, junction boxes, or appliances.
Some ant species can damage plants and lawns by farming aphids (which harm plants) or by creating unsightly mounds throughout your yard.
Ant colonies can grow exponentially if left untreated. Our professional technicians can eliminate existing colonies and prevent future infestations.

Large black or red ants that excavate wood to create nests. They can cause significant structural damage similar to termites. Require specialized treatment to eliminate colonies.
Small brown or black ants that emit a rotten coconut smell when crushed. They're attracted to sweets and can establish multiple colonies throughout your home.
Small, dark ants that nest under sidewalks, driveways, and foundation slabs. They can enter homes through tiny cracks and are attracted to greasy foods and sweets.
Tiny, light-colored ants that are difficult to control because they create multiple satellite colonies. They can spread pathogens and are common in healthcare facilities.
