Why Home & Business Owners Choose Our Ant Treatments

When you are dealing with ants in your home or business, you are not just looking for a quick spray. You want to know that the company you call will actually show up on time, explain what they are doing, and stick with you until the problem is under control. That is how we have built our reputation at Standard Pest Control, and it is why many people tell us they are glad they switched from larger, national providers.

Third-party recognition matters too.

Our online reviews regularly mention punctual arrivals, thorough sprays, and a noticeable reduction in bugs after service. Before you commit to anything, we offer a free inspection and a free text-based bug identification option, so you can send us a photo of the insects you are seeing and start getting answers right away.

Our Step-By-Step Ant Extermination Process

Knowing what will happen when you contact our professionals can ease a lot of stress. At Standard Pest Control, we keep the process straightforward and transparent, so you always know what to expect. From the first call or text to follow-up visits, our goal is to make ant control simple, safe, and effective for your home or business.

Step 1: Quick Contact & Free Inspection

We respond within 24 hours to learn more about what you are seeing. We might ask how long you have noticed ants, which rooms are affected, and whether you have tried any DIY products. Then we schedule a free inspection at a time that works for you, whether that is during the day for a home visit or at a convenient time for your workplace.

During the inspection, our technician walks through the property with you, listens to your concerns, and looks closely at areas with visible ant activity. We check typical hotspots like kitchens, bathrooms, baseboards, window frames, and exterior walls, as well as the surrounding yard and foundation. As we go, we explain what we are seeing in plain language, so you understand where ants are getting in and what is attracting them.

Step 2: A Clear Plan Tailored To Your Property

After the inspection, we explain our findings and outline a treatment plan that fits your space. For a home, that might mean focusing on interior problem rooms and the perimeter around your foundation. For a business, it might involve targeted service in kitchens, break rooms, entry areas, and common spaces, always with your operating schedule in mind.

We explain which products we plan to use, where they will be applied, and how they work against ants. Our team uses materials labeled as safe for use in and around residential and commercial properties, and we shape the plan with kids and pets in mind. You see what is included before we start, and we answer your questions so there are no surprises.

Step 3: Careful Treatment Inside & Out

On treatment day, our technicians arrive on time and walk you through the plan once more. Inside, we typically focus on cracks and crevices, baseboards, and other areas where ants travel, rather than broad, heavy sprays. Outside, we often target ant trails, foundation lines, and key spots where ants are nesting or entering the structure.

Because we are a family-owned company, we are careful about how and where we apply products. We ask you to keep kids and pets away from treated surfaces until everything is dry, and we explain how long that usually takes. We leave you with clear guidance about what we did and what you can expect to see over the next several days.

Follow-Up, Preventive Education, & Our Satisfaction Guarantee

After treatment, it is common to see some ant activity shift as the colony reacts. We explain what patterns to watch for and when things should start to noticeably improve. If you are not satisfied with how the ants are responding, our satisfaction guarantee means we continue working with you, including re-treating your property at no extra charge. 

We want you to feel comfortable reaching out with questions after service, whether it has been a few days or a few weeks. Our communication is straightforward, and we take the time to make sure you understand what is happening and what the next step will be if ants try to return.

What To Do When You Start Seeing Ants

Once ants show up, it is natural to reach for whatever spray or bait is on hand. Some of those products may give short-term relief, but they can also scatter trails or push ants into new areas, which can make it harder to see where they are coming from. A few simple steps can help keep things from getting worse:

• Wipe up food spills and crumbs as soon as you see them, especially around sinks, stoves, and pet feeding areas.
• Store pantry items like cereal, sugar, and snacks in sealed containers so ants cannot reach them.
• Avoid heavy over-the-counter spraying directly on long ant trails before we inspect, since that can disrupt the pattern we use to trace them back to their source.
• Make note of the times of day ants are most active and where they appear, since that information helps us pinpoint nesting areas faster.
• Keep garbage cans closed and take trash out regularly, particularly in kitchens and break rooms.

If activity comes and goes, taking a few photos can be very helpful. You can text us a picture of the ants you are seeing, and our team will identify the insect and explain how it typically gets inside. This free text-based bug identification gives you quick insight and helps us prepare a more accurate plan before we arrive.

When you are ready, we schedule a free inspection and walk you through any simple preparation steps, such as making sure we can access under sinks or along baseboards. Our goal is to make the visit smooth and low-stress, so you can focus on your day while we focus on the ants.

Ongoing Protection For Homes & Businesses

Ants are not always a one-time issue. Many families and business owners choose an ongoing pest control service so they do not have to think about ants every time the weather changes.

With regular visits, we can help break ant cycles by treating foundation lines, exterior problem zones, and interior hotspots before activity builds up. For homes, this often means a consistent exterior barrier and focused attention on areas where ants have been a problem in the past. For businesses, it may include scheduled treatments that fit your hours and keep customer areas, break rooms, and storage spaces protected without interrupting daily operations.

We build these maintenance plans around your specific property and comfort level, not a one-size-fits-all template. Some clients prefer seasonal service, while others choose more frequent visits, especially for high-traffic commercial locations. Over time, this relationship-based approach helps keep your space more comfortable and reduces the chances of large infestations catching you off guard.

Common Ant Problems We Treat 

Ant issues in the Greater Salt Lake City Area tend to follow a few familiar patterns, especially as the seasons change. In many homes, the first sign is a small line of ants coming from behind a kitchen appliance or baseboard and heading toward pet food, trash cans, or crumbs on the counter. Others notice ants gathering around sinks and tubs, especially in bathrooms or basements where there is a little extra moisture.

Seasonal shifts from cold winters to warm, dry summers affect how ants move between outdoor nests and indoor food and water sources. As the ground warms, they often travel along foundation walls, patios, and driveways, then slip inside through small gaps around utility lines, doors, or settling cracks. We see this in newer subdivisions in and near Bluffdale and in older homes that have natural settling over time.

Commercial properties can face their own ant challenges. Offices with break rooms, small restaurants, and other businesses often find ants around vending machines, sinks, and storage areas. Ants in these spaces can be more than a nuisance, since they affect how customers and employees feel about cleanliness and safety. During our free inspections, we look not only at where ants are currently active but also at how the building is laid out, how landscaping touches the structure, and where moisture and food sources might be encouraging ants to stay.
