Protect your countertops, pantries, and living spaces from persistent trailing colonies. Complete year round protection begins at $49 a month following an initial $99 setup.
What's Included
Spud Pest eliminates local foraging worker ants and deep nest colonies by targeting their scent trails and primary harborage areas. Spring moisture, pine needle beds, and damp framing wood drive heavy seasonal migrations across Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho, drawing ants directly to kitchen countertops, window sills, and foundation walls. Our protection plans create a lasting perimeter barrier that destroys active colonies, eliminates queens, and stops indoor trail formation year round.
Every plan covers complete exterior trailing inspections, non repellent liquid perimeter barriers, targeted indoor gel baiting, and harborage reduction. You get total coverage against regional species like odorous house ants, carpenter ants, pavement ants, and thatch ants, backed by full warranty protection and unlimited free re-treatments whenever pests return between regular service visits.
Species
Identifying regional ant species helps target where they nest and how they enter your home.
Small black ants known for a rotten coconut smell when crushed. They form multi queen colonies under concrete slabs, landscape rocks, and wall voids, trailing directly to kitchen sinks and pantries.
Large black ants that hollow out damp framing wood, deck posts, and window sills to build nests, leaving behind piles of fine sawdust.
Small brown ants that push up dirt mounds along sidewalk cracks, patio stones, and driveway seams. They easily invade homes looking for sweets, grease, and pet food.
Large red and black ants that build pine needle mounds along lawn edges and forest lines. They bite aggressively when disturbed and farm honeydew on outdoor trees and shrubs.
How it works
Every visit follows a simple, proven process to knock down active ant trails, destroy hidden nests, and keep future colonies from coming back:
Detailed Exterior Inspection
We check foundation gaps, hose bibs, window wells, deck supports, and trees touching the roofline for active trail lines and moisture sources.
Perimeter Non Repellent Application
We apply specialized non repellent liquid treatments around lower foundation walls, door thresholds, and exterior entry points so foraging ants carry the product deep into the colony.
Targeted Baiting and Crack Treatment
We place undetectable bait gels inside wall voids, under sink plumbing penetrations, or along exterior trail seams to ensure complete queen elimination.
Keep Them Away
We return on a regular seasonal schedule to inspect high risk zones and replenish your protective perimeter barrier before it breaks down, maintaining continuous protection year round.
We’ll text you when your technician is on the way, so you always know we’re coming.

Good to know
Ongoing property defense starts at $49 a month after an initial $99 setup.

You get complete coverage, total warranty protection, and free re-treatments between regular visits.
Store bought repellents cause odorous house ants to split their colony into multiple smaller sub colonies, a process called budding. Spraying grocery store contact sprays panics the queen, causing workers to scatter and start new nests inside wall voids throughout your home, making the infestation significantly worse.
Spring rains, thawing ground, and rising temperatures drive queen ants out of winter dormancy to expand their nests. As soil gets saturated outdoors, foraging ants search for dry ground and easy food sources, using tiny foundation cracks, utility lines, and window sills as expressways straight into your kitchen.
No, carpenter ants do not eat wood like termites do, but they hollow it out to build nesting galleries. As they chew through damp framing lumber, deck posts, or window sills, they leave behind smooth tunnels and fine sawdust, which can compromise structural integrity over time if left untreated.
Yes, our products are applied specifically around exterior foundations, door seals, and patio edges away from high traffic family areas. After the treatment fully dries (typically within 30 to 60 minutes), children and pets can safely return to playing in the yard and on outdoor living spaces.
