Keep Your Home Ant-Free Year-Round in Springfield, Nixa, Ozark, Rogersville, Branson, Bolivar & Surrounding Areas.
Ants may seem small, but once they establish a colony in your home, they can be incredibly persistent. Holper’s Pest & Animal Solutions specializes in ant control for Springfield area homes, identifying the species and eliminating the colony, not just the ants you see.
What to Know About Ants in Springfield
- Carpenter Ants tunnel through wood, potentially weakening decks, beams, and framing.
- Odorous House Ants produce a rotten smell when crushed and commonly invade kitchens.
- Pavement Ants nest beneath concrete slabs and driveways.
- Pharaoh Ants spread bacteria and often appear in warm, humid areas like bathrooms.
Ants live in large colonies that can stretch deep into walls or soil. Killing visible ants doesn’t eliminate the queen, meaning infestations return quickly without professional treatment.

Springfield Ant Control FAQ's
What causes ants to invade homes in Springfield?
Ants enter homes seeking food, water, or shelter. Leaky pipes, leftover food, and moisture near baseboards or sinks are the most common attractants.
How does Holper’s eliminate ant colonies?
We identify the specific ant species, then use targeted bait systems and residual treatments that reach the colony, including the queen, to stop reproduction and eliminate the infestation completely.
Why do ants keep coming back even after spraying store-bought products?
DIY sprays kill visible ants but rarely reach the colony. Surviving ants may simply relocate the nest, making the problem worse. Professional-grade baiting and identification are essential for permanent elimination.
Are your ant control treatments safe for my family and pets?
Yes. Our treatments are designed to be safe when applied by trained professionals. We use precision methods to keep people and pets safe while effectively controlling ant populations.
What types of ants are common in Springfield?
The most common include carpenter ants, odorous house ants, pavement ants, and pharaoh ants. Each species behaves differently, which is why proper identification is key to success.
How can I prevent future ant infestations?
Keep kitchen surfaces clean, seal food containers, fix plumbing leaks, wipe up spills immediately, and schedule regular preventive treatments with Holper’s to maintain an ant-free home.
