Kinston Pest Control
Ant Control in Kinston
If you’ve ever watched an ant trail marching through your kitchen like they pay rent, you’re not alone. Ants are one of the most common — and most annoying — pests in Kinston homes. They show up uninvited, act like they own the place, and bring 3,000 of their closest friends.
At Kinston Pest Service, we specialize in showing ants the door — and making sure they don’t come back.
Signs You’ve Got an Ant Problem:
- You wake up and find a line of ants headed straight for your honey jar
- They're crawling along your baseboards like they built the place
- No matter how many you squish, more just... appear
- You hear yourself say, “I think they’re coming from inside the walls,” and you're not joking
Our Ant Control Game Plan:
We don’t just spray and hope. Our team gets to the root of the colony so your home stays ant-free .
Here’s how we do it:
- Inspection: We figure out where the ants are coming from (spoiler: it’s never where you think).
- Baiting & Treatment: We use targeted baits and treatments that wipe out the entire colony — not just the scouts.
- Sealing & Prevention: Ants can squeeze through cracks the width of a credit card. We block their sneaky little doorways.
Ants We Commonly Deal With in Kinston:
- Odorous house ants – Smell like rotten coconut when crushed (yep, gross)
- Argentine ants – Super aggressive and impossible to reason with
- Carpenter ants – The ones that chew your house instead of living in peace
No matter which kind you’ve got, we’ve seen them, stopped them, and sent them packing.

Ants 101: What you should know
Here’s the thing about ants — they’re not just freeloaders, they’re organized freeloaders. That ant you just squished on the counter? She was a scout, and her job was to find food and tell the rest of the colony exactly where it is. And yes — she left behind a chemical breadcrumb trail to lead them straight to your snack drawer.
A few fun (and slightly horrifying) ant facts:
- Ant colonies can contain thousands to hundreds of thousands of ants
- Killing surface ants without destroying the queen just sends the colony into survival mode — which usually means more ants
- Some species can build satellite colonies if they feel threatened — congrats, now you have two problems
- Many store-bought sprays just cause ants to “bud” and spread even more
The only real solution is to identify the species, find the nest, and eliminate the colony using a mix of targeted bait and barrier protection. That’s what we do.
