Ants may be small, but an infestation can quickly become a major problem. At Empyrean Pest Management, we provide safe, effective, and eco-friendly ant control services designed to eliminate colonies at the source — not just the ants you see.

If you’re noticing trails in your kitchen, ants around windows, or activity in your yard, it’s time to take action.

What Are Ants?

Ants are social insects that live in large colonies. In the Sacramento area, the most common types include:

• Argentine ants
• Carpenter ants
• Odorous house ants
• Pavement ants

Some species contaminate food. Others, like carpenter ants, can damage wood structures inside your home.

Because ant colonies can contain thousands of workers and multiple queens, DIY sprays often make the problem worse by scattering the colony rather than eliminating it.

Signs You Have an Ant Infestation

You may have an ant problem if you notice:

• Visible ant trails inside your home
• Ants near sinks, kitchens, or pet bowls
• Small piles of dirt or debris near baseboards
• Rustling sounds inside walls (possible carpenter ants)
• Winged ants (a sign of a mature colony)
• Recurring ant activity despite cleaning

Ants are persistent. If you’re seeing them repeatedly, there is likely a colony nearby — inside walls, under foundations, or in your yard.

What To Do While Waiting for a Technician

If you suspect an ant infestation, here’s what you can do safely before we arrive:

• Avoid spraying store-bought insecticides directly on trails (this can cause colony splitting)
• Clean visible food spills and crumbs
• Store food in sealed containers
• Wipe down surfaces with mild soap and water
• Avoid disturbing suspected nesting areas
• Keep pets away from treated areas if using DIY products

If you suspect carpenter ants inside walls or structural areas, avoid drilling or opening walls — this can spread the colony.

Our team will identify the species and apply targeted treatment to eliminate the colony completely.
