Ant control
Getting rid of an ant trail — and the colony behind it.
The ants you see are a small fraction of the colony, which is why store-bought sprays often scatter them without solving anything. Effective ant control targets the nest and the trail, not just the visible line on the counter.
Carpenter ants are a separate concern, because they tunnel into wood and can signal a moisture problem worth checking.
Carpenter ants in pine country, not only a kitchen line
Ants are a year-round Inland Northwest call on this host, and carpenter ants in the pine country are called out separately from a counter trail. The live ant page still applies: store-bought spray scatters the foragers and misses the colony; carpenter ants can also signal a moisture problem. A referred Spokane-area provider targets the nest. This site connects you; it does not bait the trail.
