Professional Ant Removal & Ant Control in Calgary
Ants can quickly become a persistent problem when they establish nests inside walls, under floors, around foundations, or near moisture sources. Simply killing the ants you see may not eliminate the colony.
Pest Pro Exterminator provides professional ant removal and ant control in Calgary and surrounding communities. We identify where ants are coming from, assess the conditions attracting them, and develop a treatment approach designed to address the infestation at its source.
Whether you are dealing with ants in your kitchen, bathroom, basement, foundation, yard, condo or commercial property, our experienced technicians can help.

Common Ants Found in Calgary
Different ant species require different control strategies. Correct identification is an important part of effective ant management. More on ant species found in Alberta.
Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants are among the larger ants that can be found around Calgary properties. They may establish nests in damp or damaged wood, wall voids and other protected areas.
Signs may include:
- Large ants inside or around the property
- Ant activity near moisture-damaged wood
- Sawdust-like material near nesting areas
- Ants emerging from wall voids
- Increased activity during warmer weather
Finding the source of the colony is important when dealing with carpenter ants.
Pavement Ants
Pavement ants commonly nest beneath sidewalks, concrete slabs, patios, foundations and other protected areas.
They may enter buildings through cracks and gaps around foundations, doors, windows and utility penetrations.
Pharaoh Ants
Pharaoh ants are particularly challenging because they can establish colonies in warm indoor environments and may spread between rooms or units.
They are especially important in:
- Apartment buildings
- Condominiums
- High-rise buildings
- Assisted-living facilities
- Hotels
- Commercial buildings
Pharaoh ant management requires a carefully planned approach because improper treatment can cause colonies to spread or relocate.
Why You May Keep Seeing Ants
Seeing ants repeatedly does not necessarily mean the problem is limited to the area where you find them.
Ants may be entering through:
- Foundation cracks
- Gaps around doors and windows
- Plumbing penetrations
- Utility openings
- Wall voids
- Structural gaps
- Damaged caulking
- Moisture-damaged areas
Food, water and shelter can also encourage ant activity.
Common attractants include:
- Food crumbs
- Sugar and sweets
- Pet food
- Garbage
- Moisture
- Leaking plumbing
- Overwatering around foundations
- Organic debris
- Vegetation touching the building
Our Ant Removal Process
1. Inspection
We begin by inspecting areas where ant activity has been reported.
We look for:
- Ant trails
- Entry points
- Nesting areas
- Moisture conditions
- Food sources
- Structural openings
- Conditions around the exterior of the property
2. Ant Identification
Whenever possible, identifying the type of ant helps determine the appropriate control strategy.
Different ant species behave differently and may require different treatment approaches.
3. Treatment
Treatment is selected according to the ant species, infestation level, location and property conditions.
Depending on the situation, treatment may involve targeted applications, baiting strategies, crack-and-crevice treatment and exterior control measures.
4. Follow-Up
Some ant infestations require additional monitoring or follow-up service.
We evaluate ant activity and determine whether additional treatment or recommendations are necessary.
5. Prevention Recommendations
We may recommend improvements that can reduce the likelihood of recurring ant activity, such as sealing entry points, correcting moisture problems and modifying conditions around the building.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ant Removal
How do I get rid of ants in my house?
The best approach depends on the ant species and where the colony is located. Professional ant control starts with identifying the species, locating potential entry points and determining the conditions supporting the infestation.
Why do ants keep coming back after I kill them?
Killing visible ants may only remove worker ants while the colony remains active. Ants may also continue entering through the same structural openings or may have access to food and moisture sources.
Are ants difficult to control in condos?
They can be. Multi-unit buildings have interconnected wall spaces, plumbing penetrations and other pathways that can allow ants to move between areas. Pharaoh ants can be particularly challenging in multi-dwelling properties.
Do you control Pharaoh ants?
Yes. Pest Pro Exterminator provides specialized Pharaoh ant management for multi-unit and commercial properties.
Can ants damage my house?
Some ant species can create structural concerns, particularly when they establish nests in damp or compromised wood. Other ants are primarily nuisance pests. Proper identification helps determine the level of concern.
Do I need professional ant control?
If ant activity is persistent, widespread, returning after DIY treatment, or occurring in multiple units, professional inspection and treatment may be appropriate.
