How Ants Damage Your Danville Property
Ants might be tiny, but they pack a serious punch when they invade Danville homes and businesses – here’s how they’re damaging properties across our community.
In Your Home
- Weakening structures: Carpenter ants chew through wood, potentially compromising your home’s integrity.
- Causing electrical problems: Some ants are drawn to electric sources, leading to shorts and system failures.
- Ruining food: They contaminate whatever food they crawl across.
- Causing painful stings: Fire ants don’t just bite – they deliver painful stings that can trigger serious allergic reactions in family members and pets.
In Your Business
- Failing inspections: Restaurants and food businesses can face health code violations due to ant infestations. The California Retail Food Code mandates that food facilities must be kept free from vermin, which includes insects like ants.
- Damaging products: Ant infestations can spread harmful bacteria like coli, Salmonella, and Listeria, making food unsafe to eat. They can also chew through thin packaging, leading to contamination, spoilage, and financial losses.
- Scaring away customers: Nobody wants to shop or dine where ants are visible.
- Breaking equipment: Electrical systems can fail when ants get inside.
How We Help Danville Residents
Getting Rid of Existing Ants
Your yard likely has multiple ant colonies, each with thousands of members finding their way into your home.
While we can’t eliminate every ant in Danville, we can clear out the colonies on your property and set up barriers to keep them from coming back.
Keeping New Ants Away
We’ll find the weak spots where ants are getting in and seal them off. Our prevention strategies are tailored specifically to the types of ants we find on your property.
Year-Round Protection
Here’s the truth: getting rid of ants takes consistent effort throughout the year.
Unlike other companies that just spray chemicals and hope for the best, Smith’s takes a smarter approach. We use targeted baits that worker ants carry back to their queens, eliminating entire colonies from the inside out.
Our techs aren’t just spraying perimeters. They’re highly trained in ant behavior and biology – something most pest companies don’t invest in. This expertise means we know exactly what baits to use and where to place them for maximum effectiveness.
This approach isn’t just more effective – it’s safer for your family, pets, and the environment since we’re not filling your home with unnecessary chemicals.
We’ll check in regularly, and if ants show up between visits, we’ll come back at no extra charge. One simple monthly payment covers you completely, and we’ll even take care of other pests, like spiders and roaches, if we spot them during our visits.

We’re ant experts, plain and simple. We study ant behavior more in one year than most companies do in their entire existence. That’s why we’re confident enough to guarantee our work.
Our environmentally friendly approach targets colonies at their source instead of just spraying surfaces.
We follow up thoroughly and adjust our approach as needed, ensuring your Danville home stays ant-free for good.

FAQs
Danville’s oak-studded hills, creeks, and warm climate make it a prime habitat for ants—and a challenge for homeowners trying to keep them out.
Hot, dry summers push ants indoors searching for water, while winter rains send them seeking higher, drier ground—often inside your home.
- Argentine ants, the most common species in the area, form massive supercolonies that stretch across multiple properties, making them tough to eliminate.
- Carpenter ants thrive in the area’s mature oak trees and wooden structures, potentially causing structural damage over time.
- Southern fire ants, found throughout the East Bay, nest in soil and swarm aggressively if disturbed, making them a hazard in yards and gardens.
Yes! Our eco-friendly treatments effectively eliminate ants while keeping your family, pets, and the environment safe.
Ants are persistent, but so are we! Our year-round ant control program includes monthly treatments to keep them from returning. Plus, if they pop up between visits, we’ll come back at no charge.
