Why Recurring Ant Control Works

Ant colonies don’t disappear overnight. Even after initial treatments, new colonies may try to move in, or hidden nests may go undetected. That’s why our ongoing ant control plans are the best solution. 

With regularly scheduled service, we:

• Monitor activity and adjust treatment as needed
• Prevent new ants from entering your home
• Maintain a protective barrier around your property
• Disrupt breeding and nesting cycles
• Provide peace of mind and consistent protection

Whether you’re dealing with tiny sugar ants in the kitchen or large carpenter ants in your walls, Holpers Pest & Animal Solutions recurring service ensures the problem stays under control.

Ant Prevention Tips

Even with professional treatments, simple habits around the home can help deter ants between visits:

• Seal cracks and crevices around foundations, windows, and doors
• Store food in airtight containers and clean up crumbs and spills promptly
• Fix moisture issues such as leaks and poor ventilation
• Trim vegetation away from the home to reduce pathways inside

Our technicians will also provide customized tips during your recurring visits to help you stay ahead of the problem.

Know Your Enemy: Ants

Ants are highly organized insects that live in colonies with thousands of members. Different species bring different challenges—odorous house ants can be relentless indoors, while carpenter ants cause damage to wood. Identifying the species is key to effective treatment.

Ants communicate through scent trails and work together to find food and shelter, making them difficult to control without a strategic approach. At Holper’s, we target ants at the source and tailor our recurring treatments to your specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Types of Ants Are Common in St. Louis?

In the St. Louis area, the most common ant species include pavement ants, carpenter ants, and odorous house ants. 

Each species presents unique challenges and requires a tailored treatment strategy:

• Pavement ants are frequently found around foundations, sidewalks, and inside kitchens. They’re drawn to sugary and greasy food sources.
• Carpenter ants are larger and can cause structural damage by tunneling through wood.
• Odorous house ants, named for the unpleasant smell they emit when crushed, often invade kitchens and bathrooms.

Our expert technicians are trained to identify ant species and apply targeted treatments, especially as part of a recurring service plan that keeps your home ant-free year-round.
