Ant Trails That Start Outside
Most ant problems begin in the yard. Colonies set up under pavers, along sidewalks, and in irrigated planters, then send scouts looking for water and sugar. In summer, a kitchen sink or a pet bowl can become their favorite stop.
We trace trails back toward the source and treat both the nest areas and the entry points. That stops the parade instead of just wiping out the ants you can see.
Fire ants and harvester ants can also sting, which matters if you have kids playing in the yard. We identify the type of ant so treatment fits the problem.
Protecting the Structure
Termites are a quiet threat across the Valley. Regular inspections give you peace of mind, and early treatment is far easier than repairing damaged framing or trim.
We include termite checks as part of our attention to the home, and full inspections are available whenever you want a closer look. If we do find activity, we explain treatment choices in plain terms so you can decide with confidence. Many homeowners like knowing a trained set of eyes is looking at these areas on a regular basis.
- Mud tube checks along slab edges and garage walls
- Inspection of patio covers and wood trim
- Look for discarded wings near windows and doors
A Plan for Your Home
No two lots in Los Altos Hills are exactly alike. Your technician will look at your landscaping, slope, and past activity before treating, so the service fits the house you actually live in.
Same or next-day service is our standard, and our technicians are paid by the day rather than per stop. That gives them time to do the job right. For a home under 2,500 square feet, bi-monthly service starts at $45 a month.
Your technician will also share simple tips, like moving pet bowls indoors at night, that help keep ants from coming back.

Why do ants invade my Los Altos Hills kitchen every summer?
Heat and dry conditions send ants searching for water. Kitchens, bathrooms, and pet areas become targets. Treating outdoor colonies helps cut down on indoor trails.
What termite signs should I watch for?
Look for pencil-width mud tubes on walls or foundations, piles of small wings, or wood that sounds hollow. Spot one of those and it is time to have us take a look.

Yes. Our products are eco-friendly and pet friendly, and kids and pets can be around treated areas once they dry.
