Ant Exterminator in Pooler & Savannah, GA
Ant Control
Ants are a common problem in the Pooler and Savannah area, but they are not a pest you want invading your home or yard. From the nuisance of tiny sugar ants in your kitchen to the painful stings of fire ants in your lawn, these pests pose multiple threats.
At Prestige Pest Control, we provide effective ant control that you and your family can trust. As your local experts, we specialize in comprehensive solutions to eliminate existing colonies and implement lasting protection. If you need guaranteed ant pest control for your entire property, you’ve come to the right place.
Knowing Your Enemy: Identifying Common Ant Species
Knowing what type of ant you’re dealing with is the first step in effective ant pest control. As your local experts, we combine knowledge of local species with thorough inspections to target the colony’s source.
Fire Ants
The most dangerous ant in Georgia. Their primary sign is the large, distinctive mounds of soft soil built in sunny areas of your lawn or near concrete.
The Danger: They deliver painful stings when their nest is disturbed, which can be dangerous for pets, children, and those with allergies. If you see a mound, do not disturb it.
Carpenter Ants
These large, dark-colored ants don’t eat wood, but they bore smooth tunnels into it to create nests. Look for small piles of fine sawdust near baseboards, windowsills, or wooden frames. Finding these often indicates water damage is present, as they prefer moist wood.
The Threat: If left untreated, they can cause significant, costly damage to your home’s structural integrity over time.
House Ants
Small, dark brown to black ants famous for invading kitchens.
If you crush one, you may notice a distinct, unpleasant odor, often described as rotten coconut or blue cheese. They are difficult to eliminate because they establish multiple colonies.
Argentine Ants
Tiny, dark ants that swarm food sources in massive numbers. You often see massive ant trails marching across counters, floors, or outdoor pavement leading to a food source. DIY sprays rarely work against these, as they simply cause the colony to fracture (budding).
Before Your Service: Simple Steps for Success
Your partnership is crucial to the success of our ant control services. By following a few simple steps, you help us make our treatments much more effective and long-lasting.
Remove Food Sources
Wipe down countertops thoroughly, sweep floors, and store all sweets, oils, and pet foods in airtight, sealed containers. Ants are relentless scouts for easy food.
Reduce Moisture
Fix any leaky faucets, pipes, or drainage issues immediately. Many ants, especially carpenter ants, are drawn to damp, water-damaged wood.
Clear Debris Outside
Remove debris, overgrown shrubs, or stacks of firewood near your foundation. Ants use these materials and vegetation as bridges to access your home.
Our Guaranteed Rodent Control Process
Thorough Inspection
We start by talking with you and conducting a thorough inspection to identify the species of ant and the full scope of the infestation, including outdoor colonies and indoor entry points.
Treatment & Removal
For fire ants, we use a specialized, broadcast granular product that eliminates both fire ants control and mole crickets in your lawn, targeting the entire colony, including the queen. For indoor pests, we use targeted baits and non-repellent liquid treatments to eliminate the colony at its source.
Preventative Perimeter Barrier
We establish a protective barrier around your home’s foundation to prevent new colonies from entering, which is essential for comprehensive ant control services.
When you need reliable fire ant control or general ant control, you need a comprehensive solution that eliminates the colony, not just the ants you see. Our methods are based on expert entomological knowledge.
Warranty: Our fire ant control service includes a one-year warranty. Our indoor ant treatments are fully warrantied for as long as your recurring pest control service is active.
Getting Started is Easy
We believe in professional ant control with a personal touch. When you call Prestige, you’ll get a helpful neighbor, not a faceless call center.

A Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to see results after fire ant control treatment?
Our targeted granular product begins working immediately. You will typically see significant results, including the elimination of the mounds and visible ants, within 1 to 2 weeks after the initial application. Our service is backed by a one-year warranty.
Why are my DIY ant sprays not working?
Store-bought sprays often only kill the foraging ants you see, which can cause the colony to split into multiple new colonies (a process called “budding”). True ant pest control requires professional, non-repellent baits and treatments to eliminate the queens and the entire colony at the source.
Is the ant control treatment safe for my lawn, kids, and pets?
Yes, your family’s safety is our priority. We use EPA-registered products and apply them strategically. For fire ants control, we use a product that targets specific pests and is safe for use on lawns. Your technician will always advise you on safety procedures after application.
How can I tell the difference between flying ants and termites?
This is a great question! Flying ants have pinched waists and two pairs of wings that are different sizes. Termites have straight waists and two pairs of wings that are equal in size. If you see a swarm, call us for an inspection to properly diagnose the issue.
Do your ant control services come with a guarantee?
Yes, our work is fully guaranteed. Our fire ant control treatment includes a one-year warranty. Our general ant control is warrantied for as long as your recurring pest control service is active.
