Expert Ant Control Services for Lakewood Homeowners
About us
When December’s cold drives ants indoors seeking warmth and food, Lakewood homeowners need a pest control partner who understands the unique challenges of Pacific Northwest winters. We’ve built our reputation in the South Sound region by combining thorough seasonal inspections with targeted treatments that address both current infestations and long-term prevention.
Our approach to ant control goes beyond simple spraying. We inspect crawlspaces during winter months to identify entry points and conducive conditions, then apply professional-grade residual products like Termidor SC and Bithor SC to create lasting barriers around your home’s foundation and interior hotspots. For example, our All Seasons Protection Plan includes quarterly maintenance with free callbacks between visits, ensuring that if ants return during those rainy Lakewood winters, we’re back at no extra charge to make it right.
What sets us apart in the Lakewood community is our commitment to transparency and results. Every service is documented with detailed notes about pest activity, treatment applications, and any conducive conditions we observe, so you always know exactly what we’re doing to protect your home and why it matters.

Our Process
01
Our first step is a comprehensive inspection where we identify the specific ant species and diagnose the full extent of the infestation in your Lakewood home.
We meticulously trace their trails along foundations and inside, noting how the cold, wet December weather drives them indoors to find shelter and food near areas like kitchens and bathrooms.

Service Types
We tackle ant problems in Lakewood with a comprehensive approach that targets both the ants you see and the colonies you don’t. Our quarterly treatments include a thorough exterior application of professional-grade residual insecticides around your foundation, entry points, and common ant highways, while we also address interior areas where ants are actively trailing or nesting. For example, we might apply a combination of liquid treatments to baseboards and cracks, dust formulations in wall voids where carpenter ants nest, and targeted gel baits in kitchens where sugar ants forage, ensuring we eliminate the entire colony rather than just the workers you spot on your countertops.
We protect Lakewood’s commercial properties from ant invasions with targeted treatments designed for the unique challenges of business environments. Our commercial ant control services cover restaurants, office buildings, retail stores, warehouses, healthcare facilities, and multi-unit properties throughout the Lakewood area, where moisture from our Pacific Northwest climate often attracts these persistent pests. For example, we combine thorough interior treatments in break rooms and storage areas with exterior barrier applications around foundations and entry points, then provide quarterly maintenance visits to keep your business ant-free year-round.

FAQs
We typically charge between $220-$325 for one-time ant control treatments in Lakewood, WA. However, many homeowners find better value in our All Seasons Protection Plan, which starts at $275 initially and $51 per month for quarterly service that covers ants plus all common Pacific Northwest pests.
The final cost depends on several factors. Home size matters significantly. Treatment frequency plays a role too. The specific ant species we’re dealing with also affects pricing, as carpenter ants often require more intensive treatment than odorous house ants.
During December and winter months in Lakewood, we often see moisture ants and carpenter ants seeking shelter indoors as temperatures drop. These species are attracted to the dampness common in Pacific Northwest crawlspaces and wall voids during our wet season. Winter treatments may require additional attention to moisture issues and entry points, which can influence the scope of service needed.
