Kyle did a detailed, exceptional job. Kyle used a duster and sprayed around the windows. The prior guy that came did not. HE only did basic inside and outside the house and lied about the shop when I mentioned the shop. He said they don't do shops and garages. Today I found out they do. Normally I would not recommended this company, but because of Kyle I would. However request Kyle or talk directly to owner and request in writing what is to be done.Posted on Google

Signs Of An Ant Infestation In Your Home
Ant infestations often start small, but can grow quickly. Here are some tips from our ant control experts on how to spot an infestation:
- Ant Trails: If you see a steady line of ants, they're likely on a food-finding mission with many more on the way.
- Small Sawdust Piles: Carpenter ants and other species often leave sawdust piles near wooden structures, which can indicate potential structural damage.
- Ant Nests: Check for mounds of soil or debris near your home's foundation or in hidden corners, which may indicate outdoor colonies that can damage your home.
- Rustling Sounds: Rustling sounds in the walls are another clear sign of a pest problem requiring immediate professional attention.
Prevent Ant Infestations With These 3 Steps
Your Croach® pest control technician can help you eliminate ants in your home, but the first step is always prevention. You can help prevent infestations by:
- Cleaning up spills, keeping countertops and floors clean, and storing food in airtight containers.
- Wiping down the leaves of houseplants and placing aphid-killing plant spikes in the soil. Aphids are tiny insects that excrete a sweet substance on houseplants that attracts ants inside the home.
- Eliminating moisture by fixing leaks, keeping your basement dry, and repairing water-damaged areas (including your deck).
Avoid using retail ant sprays to solve any ant problems. But these DIY methods only kill the scouts foraging for food, not the whole colony. You'll only fend them off for 1 -2 days at best. Instead of wasting your money, vacuum them up and call Croach® to help with the problem.
Why Are Ants So Common in the Inland Northwest?
Although Eastern Washington and North Idaho have a drier climate, ants still thrive throughout the region. Warm summers encourage colony growth, while periods of drought often drive ants indoors in search of moisture. During spring and early summer, colonies expand rapidly, sending thousands of worker ants out in search of food.
Homes throughout Spokane, Coeur d'Alene, Hayden, Post Falls, and nearby communities often provide everything ants need to survive, like irrigation, landscaping, mulch beds, crawl spaces, and easy access to kitchens and bathrooms.
Common Ants in the Spokane–Coeur d'Alene Area
Different ants behave differently, which is why proper identification matters. Some ants are mainly a nuisance, while others can indicate moisture issues or structural damage.
- Velvet Ants. These are actually dangerous wasps in disguise. The females do not have wings. You’ll see them walking across pavement, patios, sidewalks, and driveways. Keep your distance, as her sting is extremely painful.
- Carpenter Ants. Carpenter ants don't eat wood; they just live in it. But their enormous jaws chew through and destroy the structures of homes and buildings throughout Spokane and Coeur d'Alene as they build and expand their nest. If you see signs of this type of ant, take it seriously.
- Harvester Ants. You'll find the Harvester outside nesting in bare patches of ground on your property. Walk around the nest, not through it. They defend their home aggressively with painful bites and stings. Females swarm to mate during the summer season. They eat seeds and other insects.
- Pavement Ants. This is the most common type of ant in Washington and Idaho. They get their name because they build nests under cracks in the concrete inside or outside your home. They will also nest in walls, insulation, and under flooring. They eat almost anything and contaminate your food.
Other species you may encounter include Formica, Mound, and Odorous House ants. No matter what species is around, you can trust that Croach® can handle it.
The Croach® Ant Control Process
At Croach® Pest Control, we don’t just eliminate ants; we make sure they're gone for good. Trust our ant control specialists to provide ongoing protection through this superior process:
Step 1: Comprehensive Inspection
Different types of ants require different ant control methods. We identify the species, locate nesting areas, and assess contributing conditions like moisture or food sources.
Step 2: Custom Pest Plans
After inspecting, your ant exterminator will devise a customized strategy that will get rid of ants and keep them out. We tailor treatments to your specific ant species and local environmental factors.
Step 3: Targeted Treatments
Our eco-friendly ant control methods eliminate ants while protecting your home and the environment. Using Integrated Pest Management (IPM), we apply treatments where ants live and travel, minimizing unnecessary chemical use.
Step 4: Long-Term Prevention
We don't just treat the symptoms; we return every 2-3 months to eliminate the colony itself. This includes identifying entry points, recommending measures to prevent attracting ants, and applying treatments to disrupt breeding cycles.
Learn All About Ant Control In Spokane–Coeur d'Alene
The more you know about ants, the better you can keep them out of your home. Here are some common questions our customers in Spokane–Coeur d'Alene ask about our ant control services:
Odorous house ants, pavement ants, and carpenter ants are the species homeowners most commonly encounter throughout Eastern Washington and North Idaho.
Most over-the-counter sprays only eliminate the visible workers. Unless the colony and queen are eliminated, new workers will continue appearing.
In some cases, sprays can scatter ants, making the problem harder to control. We suggest avoid using DIY ant control methods and get professional help instead.
Many homeowners benefit from quarterly pest control services, particularly if they experience recurring seasonal ant activity.
