A repellent spray scatters the trail and can actually cause a colony to split into satellite nests — our non-repellent bait approach is built to eliminate the whole colony instead. Species identification happens on the first visit, since the right bait for odorous house ants isn't the same formulation that works on pavement ants or fire ants.
A technician checks for carpenter ant frass and moisture damage in addition to standard trail mapping.


Our Ant Control crew is trained on species-specific colony behavior, not just surface spraying.
We prioritize fire ant mound calls given the sting risk to kids and pets.
You'll know the full cost before any bait station or barrier spray goes down.
Our toolkit includes species-specific bait formulations, since carpenter ants and odorous house ants respond to different attractants.
We trace frass (wood shavings) piles back to the actual nest location, often inside a wall void or damaged sill plate.
We use non-repellent bait specifically because a startled odorous house ant colony can split and multiply the problem.
We treat expansion joints and slab edges directly, which is where pavement ant colonies typically establish.
Fire ant mounds get direct mound treatment plus a broader yard bait application to catch satellite colonies nearby.
Inman restaurants and retail spaces get scheduled bait monitoring to prevent recurring trails near food storage areas.
A perimeter barrier around the foundation reduces new trails from forming after the initial colony is addressed.

Call +1-866-315-0243 and describe the trail location — kitchen counter, foundation, or yard mound — for the right Inman dispatch.
Our mobile units stock separate bait types for carpenter, odorous house, pavement, and fire ants.
We trace the trail, identify the species, and quote a flat price covering interior and exterior treatment.
Guarantee coverage means continued trail activity after the guarantee window gets a free re-treatment.
Carpenter ants turned out to be nesting in a water-damaged window sill we didn't know about — the technician caught it during inspection.
The mound treatment plus yard bait meant no new mounds popped up nearby afterward.
Having a documented ant program helped us pass our last health inspection without issue.
Pavement ants kept coming up through a crack in our patio slab every summer until the perimeter treatment finally sealed that off for good.

No matter which Inman neighborhood you're in, a technician equipped for ant-specific treatment can reach you the same day. Coverage includes single-family homes, apartment communities, and commercial kitchens across our Inman service area.

Surface spray kills visible ants but rarely reaches the actual nest, so the trail usually returns within days.
Yes — while they don't eat wood like termites, nesting in structural wood can still cause damage over time if left untreated.
Yes, when placed correctly by a technician, bait stations are designed to keep product contained and inaccessible.
Most trails noticeably decline within one to two weeks as the bait works through the colony.
Yes, fire ant mounds get direct mound treatment plus broader yard bait to catch connected satellite colonies.
Yes, we use bait placements and monitoring schedules suited to food-service environments and health code requirements.
