About this service
Ant Control Starts with Correct Identification

Identify the Ant Species

Body features, trail patterns, nesting areas, and property conditions help the technician determine which ant is active.

Trace Trails Toward the Nest

Active trails are followed to locate nesting or entry areas, including soil, landscape features, wall openings, and wood affected by carpenter ants.

Select Bait for Current Conditions

Bait choice can change with species, season, food preference, and nest location. Interior and exterior placements are adjusted to the activity found.

Michael is always courteous and respectful. I appreciate his clear communication and follow through as well. I am especially appreciative of his suggestion to postpone mosquito treatment for a non rainy day, which meant another trip for him. He also sprayed all of my ants off cycle and I only mentioned it in passing. His customer service is why Rigo is rated #1.

Ant Control FAQs

Why does the ant species matter?
Southern Arizona has 25 to 30 ant species, and their nesting and feeding behavior can differ. A bait that works for one species or condition may not fit another. Identification helps the technician choose placement and materials that match the active colony.
Technicians follow active trails, inspect entry points, and review nearby soil, landscape features, wall openings, or damaged wood. Ant movement often shows where workers are traveling between food and the nest. The findings guide bait placement and other targeted treatment.
Ant colonies may shift between sugar, protein, and other food needs as conditions change. The technician considers species, feeding response, weather, and nest location when selecting bait. Monitor results and continued trails can lead to adjustments during follow-up service.
Yes, the inspection covers interior activity, exterior trails, entry points, and likely nest sites. Interior placements focus on active routes and cracks, while exterior work follows trails toward the colony. The treatment plan depends on species and property conditions.
Carpenter ants can use damp or damaged wood and may establish more than one nesting area. Inspection focuses on trails, moisture, wood conditions, and possible satellite nests. Treatment and correction recommendations are based on the locations and evidence found.
