Signs of an ant problem in a Vancouver home
A few ants after a warm rain are normal. These signs mean a colony has moved in.
Trails that come back
Lines of ants on counters, baseboards or window sills that return day after day.
Ants in the bathroom
Odorous house ants go after water as well as food, so bathrooms and laundry rooms get trails too.
Wood dust
Small piles of coarse wood dust near window frames, decks or in the crawl space point to carpenter ants.
Winged ants in spring
Winged ants inside in spring can mean a nest in or close to the house.
Why ants show up early in Vancouver
In Interstate Pest Management records for Clark County over the last five years, ants were on 36% of first visits for new customers, and March brought 17% of the year’s new ant customers, more than any other month. Carpenter ants were on 6% of those first visits, compared with 4% in the Portland area, and most carpenter ant calls came in May through July.
A trail on the counter makes a clean kitchen feel dirty, and it gets old fast to spray, wipe and find a new trail the next day. Store sprays kill the ants you can see while the colony keeps sending more. We identify the species first, because odorous house ants and carpenter ants need different treatments.
How we handle ants in Vancouver
- 1
Identify the ant
Your technician follows the trails, checks nesting spots and looks for moisture to confirm which ant you have.
- 2
Treat the colony
Workers carry our baits back to the nest, so the treatment reaches ants you never see. We add an exterior barrier where it helps and show you the leaks, food and gaps that keep drawing them in.
- 3
Stay ahead of spring
Scheduled visits are timed before the March surge. Re-service between visits is included in your plan.

What waiting costs
- A new trail every morning means the nest is still feeding in your kitchen.
- Carpenter ants keep hollowing out wood for as long as the nest is there.
- A colony left alone over winter is ready to send out more workers in spring.
What it looks like when ants are handled

How much does ant control cost in Vancouver?
Ants are covered by the All Seasons Pest Service at $39/mo with a $260 one-time setup fee. If you also need rats and mice covered, the All Seasons Pest & Rodent Service is $47/mo with a $280 setup fee.
When is ant season in Vancouver?
In Interstate Pest Management records for Clark County over the last five years, new ant customers peaked in March, and 62% arrived between March and July.
Why do ants keep coming back after I spray?
A spray kills the workers on the counter, and the nest sends out replacements. Baits that reach the nest stop the cycle, and if ants come back between scheduled visits, re-service is included in your plan.
How do I know if I have carpenter ants?
Look for big black ants indoors, winged ants in April and May, and little piles of coarse sawdust under a window or deck board. We confirm the species before treating.
What are sugar ants?
Most small ants people call sugar ants in Vancouver homes turn out to be odorous house ants. They smell a bit like rotten coconut when crushed and nest in walls, under flooring and in mulch beds.
Is treatment okay with kids and pets at home?
We use an Integrated Pest Management approach, which means baits and targeted treatments instead of blanket spraying. Your technician tells you what went down and when kids and pets can use each area again.
