Get Rid of Ants by Stopping the Colony
Ant problems return when the colony is still active. We focus on trails, entry points, moisture/food sources, and the right control method for the ant type—especially when Rhode Island homes get seasonal surges.
Indoor Ant Control (Kitchens, Bathrooms, Basements)
Indoor ants usually follow food or moisture. We identify where they’re entering and why they’re staying, then use a targeted approach to shut down the infestation at the source.
- Trail mapping and entry point checks (siding lines, windows, utility penetrations)
- Targeted placement where activity is confirmed
- Moisture and sanitation guidance that reduces pressure long-term
- Perimeter focus to reduce re-entry
Outdoor Ant Control (Yards, Patios, Foundations)
Outdoor nests around foundations, patios, and landscaping can drive indoor activity. We address outdoor pressure and help reduce the pathways that bring ants back inside.
- Foundation edge inspection and trail tracking
- Targeted control around active zones
- Conducive condition guidance (mulch depth, moisture, vegetation contact)
- Seasonal prevention recommendations
Carpenter Ant Control in RI: Stop the Nest & Protect the Structure
Carpenter ants can indicate moisture-damaged wood or a satellite nest nearby. We identify likely nesting zones, track movement, and recommend the most effective plan to eliminate the colony and reduce the conditions that support it.
Where They Nest
Moist wood, wall voids, sill plates, window areas, crawlspaces, and structural voids near leaks.
What You Might See
Large black ants, winged swarmers seasonally, and activity along edges, trim, or around plumbing.
Why They Return
Moisture sources, wood-to-soil contact, and undisturbed voids can support satellite nests.
If you’re seeing carpenter ant swarmers indoors, call quickly—early control prevents larger problems.
“Tiny Ants” in Bathrooms or Kitchens: Why Baits Often Beat Sprays
Small ants (like odorous house ants, pavement ants, and similar species) commonly follow food or moisture indoors. The right plan targets the colony and reduces the indoor trail pressure.
Where Tiny Ants Hide
- Under sinks, around plumbing, and behind toilets
- Inside cabinet voids and along baseboards
- Near pet food, trash, and crumbs
- Window sills and exterior wall penetrations
Why They Keep Coming Back
If the colony is still active, ants will keep replacing the workers you see. A plan that targets the colony + addresses the “why” (food/moisture/trails) produces the best long-term results.
- Hidden nesting zones (indoors or outdoors)
- Moisture sources (leaks, condensation)
- Easy food access (crumbs, grease, pet bowls)
Ant Bait vs. Spray: What’s Better?
It depends on the ant species and where the colony is located. Many ant issues improve fastest when the strategy matches the biology: baits to impact the colony, targeted applications where needed, and prevention to reduce future pressure.
When Baits Help Most
Colony-driven ants (often tiny ants) where the goal is to reduce and eliminate the nest’s worker supply.
When Sprays Make Sense
Perimeter prevention, exterior trail disruption, or specific situations where a targeted application is appropriate.
Best Results
A combined plan: correct ID + targeted control + exclusion/prevention steps that stop re-entry.
If you’ve been spraying and the ants keep returning, it’s often because the colony is still untouched.

Frequently Asked Questions: Ant Exterminator RI
Common questions Rhode Island homeowners ask about ants, carpenter ants, and what to expect.
Why do ants keep coming back after I spray?
Sprays often reduce the ants you see but don’t eliminate the colony. Many ant problems are colony-driven, so the key is correct identification, targeted control, and prevention steps that remove entry points and attractants.
Do you treat carpenter ants in Rhode Island?
Yes. We provide carpenter ant control and focus on locating likely nesting zones, reducing moisture conditions, and using a targeted plan to eliminate the colony.
What are “tiny ants” in the bathroom?
Small ants are often attracted to moisture and food sources. Bathrooms can provide water access (condensation, plumbing, humidity). We identify the ant type and recommend the most effective strategy to eliminate the colony and reduce return visits.
Do you show ant control pricing online?
No. Every property and ant problem is different. After a conversation or inspection, we provide clear recommendations and transparent pricing before work is performed.
How fast can you get rid of ants?
Timelines depend on the ant type and where the colony is located. Many issues improve quickly once the correct strategy is applied. For larger colony or carpenter ant issues, follow-up may be recommended for best long-term results.
