In McKeesport, ant problems usually start small. A few ants near the sink, a trail along the edge of the counter, or a line crossing the floor by the back door. You wipe them up and feel like it is handled, then a few days later they show up in a new place.
Kapp’s Lawn offers ant control in McKeesport, PA that looks past the handful of ants you can see.
Step
1
Inspection and Assessment
We begin with a short conversation:
Where you see ants most often
How long the problem has been going on
What sprays, baits, or home fixes you have already tried
Then we inspect:
Kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and common entryways
Under sinks, behind appliances, and along baseboards and trim
Around the foundation, patios, porches, and flower beds
This helps us gauge how widespread the issue is and which ant species is causing it.
Step
2
Custom Treatment Plan
Different ants nest in different places and respond best to certain tools. Once we know what we are dealing with, we design a plan that may include:
Interior baits that worker ants carry back to the nest
Targeted treatments along active trails and near entry points
Exterior barriers around foundations and other access spots
The goal is to reach the colony, not just spray the ants you see today.
Step
3
Full Extermination
As bait and treatments start working, you may see short term changes in ant activity. We explain what that phase can look like and when you should expect a clear reduction.
Step
4
Ongoing Monitoring and Prevention
If ants tend to show up every spring, after heavy rain, or during kitchen projects, we can build ant control into a broader pest plan. We also share simple prevention steps, such as keeping food sealed, wiping crumbs quickly, and managing moisture around sinks and basements.
Carpenter ants are especially important to catch early. They are often linked to damp or damaged wood and can make existing structural issues worse if left alone.
Cost depends on the size of your home and how far the ants have spread. We inspect first, then provide a straightforward written estimate.
Targeting the colony with properly placed bait and precise treatments works far better than only spraying visible ants. It addresses the root of the problem.
Yes, when applied correctly. We explain any short term precautions, such as keeping children and pets away from treated areas until products have dried.
