• Ants in the kitchen and the bathroom — foraging workers in the rooms with food and moisture.
• Winged ants indoors in the spring — swarmers that indicate an established colony.

Why Bay Springs homes get ants

The setting around Bay Springs does most of the work.

The homes near the the Mississippi River, the Gulf, and lakes and the ones on the older streets with mature trees see the heaviest pressure, and the newer construction brings its own set of conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does the bait take to work?

The bait works over one to two weeks as the workers carry it back to the colony and it spreads. The visible trails thin out as the colony declines.

Q: Do you treat fire ants in the yard too?

Yes. Fire ant mounds are treated directly in the yard, and the treatment is timed to the mound activity in Jasper.

Q: How much does ant control cost in Bay Springs?

Baiting runs $120 to $280 in Bay Springs, with a perimeter barrier from $100 to $220. Carpenter ant work runs higher because it involves finding and treating the nest.

Q: Why do ants keep coming back?

Ants follow scent trails, and the colony keeps sending workers until the trail and the food source are gone. The bait removes the colony, not just the ants you see.

Q: Are the baits safe for pets?

The bait is placed in the areas the ants travel and out of reach of pets, per the label. We point out the placements during the service.
