Ant Control & Extermination

Now controlling Ants in Modesto, Manteca, Oakdale & Turlock!
Ants feed on and contaminate food, infest structures, and in some cases, inflict bites or stings. Ants are one of the biggest nuisance pests because they can easily enter through small cracks and crevices anywhere in and around your home. On the hunt for food, a single ant can lead the way for the entire colony to invade your home. The best method of controlling ants is to find the nest and remove the queen.

Termidor Eliminates Ants Where They Start

Here at Onstar Pest Control, we use a product called Termidor to treat your outdoor ant problem. Chances are, your ants actually live in nests outside. The key to controlling ants is to target them where they live, which is exactly what Termidor does. We apply Termidor to the outside exterior foundation walls of your house, creating a treated area of protection. Termidor is a long lasting pesticide that attaches itself to the ants and is then carried into the nest. Ants communicate by licking each other and in doing so, transfer Termidor throughout the colony, killing the nest.

What is Termidor?
Termidor is a professionally applied ant-specific pest control product. Termidor is highly effective at killing ants because unlike other pesticides, Termidor is non-repellent.

How is Termidor different than typical pesticides?
"Do-it-yourself’ ant control efforts can actually make things worse. In fact, most over-the-counter ant sprays and repellents can cause a phenomenon called "budding," in which foraging ants, separated from their nest and queen, will actually start new colonies.
Termidor is an advanced undetectable treatment that is applied outside your home. Ants never know it’s there, so they can’t react to it or avoid it. Instead, they pick up Termidor and spread it to the other ants in their colony.

What ants can Termidor control?
  • Acrobat Ants
  • Argentine Ants
  • Big-Headed Ants
  • Carpenter Ants
  • Crazy Ants
  • Odorous House Ants
  • Pavement Ants
  • Pharoah Ants
  • Thief Ants

Argentine Ants

Or "black ants" as they’re more commonly called, are not native to California. Argentine ants were introduced in the early 20th century. Since that time, Argentine ants have nearly exterminated all other native species of ants. Argentine ants can do this because the colonies do not compete with one another, making argentine ant control more difficult.

Odorous Ants

Odorous ants get thier name from the foul, "rotten coconut" smell they produce when smashed.
