In Carnegie, ant issues usually start with a small sign. A handful of ants around the sink, a thin line along a baseboard, or a trail heading toward the trash can. You wipe them up and feel like you handled it, then a few days later a new trail shows up from a different crack.
Kapp’s Lawn offers ant control in Carnegie, PA that focuses on the source, not just the ants you see today.
Step
1
Inspection and Assessment
We begin by asking you a few questions:
Where are you seeing ants most often
How long has this been happening?
What sprays, baits, or home remedies have you already tried?
Then we inspect:
Kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and other possible entry points
Under sinks, behind appliances, and along baseboards and trim
Around foundations, porches, steps, and landscape beds outside
This gives us a clear picture of how widespread the problem is and which type of ant we are dealing with.
Step
2
Custom Treatment Plan
Different ant species nest in different spots and respond best to certain methods. Once we know what is in your home, we build a plan that may include:
Interior bait placements that worker ants carry back to the nest
Targeted treatments along active trails and suspected entry points
Exterior barriers along foundations, steps, and vulnerable seams
The goal is to reach the colony, not just spray the workers on the counter.
Step
3
Full Extermination
As baits and treatments begin working, ant patterns can shift for a short time. We explain what that stage can look like and when you should expect a clear drop in activity.

Ongoing Monitoring and Prevention
If ants show up every spring or after heavy rain, we can fold ant control into a broader pest plan. We also share simple prevention tips like sealing food, wiping up crumbs, controlling moisture, and sealing gaps where possible.
Carpenter ants matter in particular. They often show up around damp or damaged wood and can add to structural issues if left alone.
Carpenter ants are especially important to address early. They target damp or softened wood and can add to existing structural problems if they are ignored.
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 baits and focused treatments works much better than only spraying visible ants. It addresses the source, not just the surface.
Yes, when applied correctly. We explain any short term precautions, such as keeping children and pets away from treated areas until products have dried.
