Ants don't belong on the guest list.
From kitchen counters to backyard patios, ants have a way of finding the good stuff. We'll help you understand what's attracting them and work toward a plan that tackles the problem.
Signs you've got company
- 01
Trails on the counter
Lines of ants marching toward crumbs, sugar, or pet food.
- 02
Activity near sinks
Ants gathering around faucets, dishwashers, or bathroom fixtures.
- 03
Return visitors
You wipe them away, and a new trail shows up the next day.
- 04
Outdoor mounds
Small piles of soil along walkways, patios, or planters.
Why ants find their way in
Food and pantry access
Crumbs, open packages, and sticky spills are easy wins for foraging ants.
Moisture and landscaping
Irrigation, damp mulch, and plants against the house give colonies a comfortable base nearby.
Tiny entry points
Gaps around windows, doors, and utility lines are often all ants need.
Wiping away a trail removes the ants you see, not the colony sending them. Identifying the species matters too: Argentine ants are common across Southern California, but they're not behind every ant problem, and different ants call for different approaches.
Less guessing. More getting to the source.

Wipe with soapy water
Clean trails with soap and water to disrupt the scent path.

Fix small leaks
Drips under sinks and around hose bibs attract thirsty ants.
