Ant control in the San Fernando Valley
Ant control means tracing the trail back to the colony instead of wiping out the few scouts on your counter. We inspect inside and out, find where ants are getting in, treat the nest and the entry points together, and seal what we can so the same line does not come back next week.

- 101
Inspect and trace
We walk the property inside and out, find where ants are entering, and follow the trail toward the nest instead of only treating what is visible on the counter.
- 202
Treat the colony and the entry points
We treat nests, trails and entry points together and lay a barrier around the foundation, so new scouts run into a treated zone before they ever reach your door.
- 303
Seal and check back
We point out cracks and gaps worth sealing, and if ants return within 30 days of service we come back and re treat the problem areas at no charge.
What we use, and where
General ant service uses low toxicity products applied at entry points, trails and nesting areas rather than sprayed across your whole yard, so kids, pets and garden beds are not sitting in a treated zone. If a colony needs something stronger we will tell you exactly what we are using and why before we apply it.
Ants by month
Peak months for ants in the Valley, from our own route records.
Most Valley homes with ants do best on Hybrid, monthly through spring and summer, bi monthly once it cools off. "We trace it to the nest, we do not just spray the counter and hope," says Sam Karbelnig, owner.

What ants customers say
Facility Pest Control responded to me quickly, gave me an estimate, and offered a fair price. The technician who came out was great to work with, communicated what he would be doing, and accommodated our requests to focus on certain problem areas. The spraying so far seems very effective.
They helped us with a protracted roach problem. The owner took the time to talk through the issue with us for a long time. He was the only company that said we didn't need to get on a multi year contract. They ended up coming three times and I haven't seen new roaches for months. Thank you for your excellent customer service and thoroughness.
This review is long overdue. Facility is simply the best local company out there. It took me years to find a reliable, effective and cost efficient company that was easy to deal with any time I needed something extra. Sam, the owner, cares so much about all his clients and makes sure that each is taken care of. Don't look any further for your next pest control company.
Ants questions, answered
What does ant control actually include?
It includes a full inspection to find trails and entry points, treatment at the nest and entry points rather than just the visible trail, and sealing of cracks and gaps where we can reach them. We follow up if activity continues, and every visit is covered by our 30 day guarantee.
How do I know if I need professional ant control?
One ant is often a scout looking for food, and it can lead the whole colony back to your kitchen if it finds something. If you are seeing ants near food, water or trash more than once, it is worth a real inspection instead of another can of spray.
Are ant treatments safe for my kids and pets?
Yes. General ant service uses low toxicity products placed at entry points and nesting areas instead of broadcast across the whole yard. We will walk you through what we used and any wait time before pets or kids go back into a treated area.
Why do I still see a few ants after treatment?
A trail can take a few days to fully die off even after the nest is treated, since ants already out foraging do not always make it home. If you are still seeing active trails after a week, call us and we will come back under the guarantee.
How do you keep ants from coming back?
We seal the entry points we can reach, point out the moisture and food sources that draw ants in, and treat the perimeter on a schedule instead of only reacting after they show up again. Most homes settle into a Hybrid or Bi Monthly plan after the first visit.
Do you spray my whole yard for ants?
No. We treat where ants are actually trailing and entering, plus a barrier band around the foundation. There is no reason to blanket a whole lawn or garden bed to get ants under control.
How fast can you get someone out for an ant problem?
Call and Katie will tell you exactly when a technician can be there. If ants are in the kitchen and getting worse by the day, tell us when you call and we will move you up.

How to Recognize Ant Control Issues
Seeing a single ant is a red flag. This is likely a scout ant. They’re the ones sent to seek food. If they enter your kitchen and can send the signals back to the colony, don’t be surprised if you see lines of ants marching across your counters and floors next.
Even if you don’t see ants but crumbs suddenly go missing from your countertop or tables, that’s a tell-tale sign that ants are in your area.
Watch out for these warning signs and implement measures before they turn your home into their personal food bank.
Preventing Ant Infestations
The key to winning the war against ants is to go on the offensive. Seal up any cracks or gaps near these areas to cut off their supply lines. Check everything from pipes, under doors, and the small openings near windows. Moisture also attracts ants like crazy. Look out for leaky faucets or clogged drains and address them promptly.
Our ant control specialists will safeguard your pantry. We’re not just reactive to infestations; we prevent them from happening in the first place. With our help, you no longer have to worry about unwanted guests or midnight feasts on your pantry staples.
Blocking the ant’s access to your pantry and kitchen area and disrupting their communication will leave them confused and lost.
Ultimately, the best way to prevent a full-blown ant infestation and take control of your kitchen is to work with an experienced ant exterminator.

Facility Pest Control offers comprehensive solutions to prevent ant infestations in your home. Here’s how we can help you achieve a pest-free environment:
We implement effective exclusion techniques to create a physical barrier against ant entry. This may involve sealing cracks and crevices, repairing damaged screens, and ensuring tight-fitting lids on trash cans. Once identified, these entry points will be effectively sealed using appropriate materials, creating a physical barrier against ant intrusion.
We analyze potential attractants within your home, such as crumbs, spills, and overflowing trash bins. Addressing these factors through proper sanitation and storage practices reduces the appeal of your home to foraging ants.
Excess moisture can create an attractive habitat for ants. We may recommend strategies to address moisture issues, such as repairing leaky pipes and improving ventilation in damp areas. In some cases, preventative treatments using safe and effective products may be applied to create a barrier around your property, deterring ants from approaching your home in the first place.
Our service area includes Agoura Hills, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, Encino, Van Nuys, and more.
