How Ants Cause Problems for Your Cupertino Property
They may be tiny, but ants can create major issues for homes and businesses throughout Cupertino.
Here’s what they’re doing behind the scenes:
In Your Home
- Weakening wooden structures: Carpenter ants bore through wood, potentially compromising your home’s framework.
- Interfering with electronics: Some ant species are drawn to electrical components, risking shorts and system failures.
- Spoiling food supplies: Ants contaminate countertops and pantries, spreading bacteria and making food unsafe.
- Inflicting painful bites: Fire ants can sting, triggering allergic reactions in both people and pets.
In Your Business
- Causing failed health inspections: Ants can trigger violations under the California Retail Food Code, which mandates pest-free environments in food establishments.
- Ruining stock and products: They may carry harmful pathogens like coli, Salmonella, and Listeria, and can chew through packaging, ruining products and impacting profits.
- Driving off customers: A visible ant problem can damage your business’s image and make guests uneasy.
- Disrupting equipment: When ants invade electronics or machinery, they can cause costly malfunctions.
How We Help Homeowners and Businesses in Cupertino
Getting Rid of Active Ant Infestations
Chances are, your property has multiple ant colonies—each with thousands of foragers finding their way indoors.
While it’s not realistic to eliminate every ant in Cupertino, we can remove the colonies living on your property using non-spray methods and install physical barriers to keep them from coming back.
Stopping Future Infestations
We locate and seal the exact entry points ants are using. Our preventative treatment plans are tailored to the species of ants most active around your home or commercial property.
Providing Ongoing, Year-Round Protection
Here’s the truth: controlling ants is an ongoing process that requires consistent effort.
Unlike companies that rely on broad-spectrum sprays, Smith’s uses a precise, no-spray, science-based strategy.
We apply highly targeted baits that ants carry back to the nest, wiping out the colony from within.
Our specialists are trained in ant behavior and biology, so they know the most effective baits to use and the best places to apply them for maximum impact.
This approach delivers better results while also being safer for your family, pets, and the environment by minimizing unnecessary pesticide exposure.
We also provide routine follow-ups, and if ants return between visits, we’ll come back at no charge.
All of this is included in one simple monthly plan. And if we spot other pests like spiders or roaches while we’re there, we’ll take care of those, too.

Few Handle Ants Like We Do!
We’re true ant experts—our team spends more time studying ant behavior and nesting patterns in one year than most pest control companies do in decades.
That deep expertise is why we’re confident in the results we deliver.
Our environmentally friendly approach targets the root of the problem—destroying ant colonies at the source rather than relying on surface-level sprays.
We provide regular follow-ups and adjust our strategy as needed to make sure your Cupertino property stays ant-free for the long term.

FAQs
Cupertino’s tree-lined streets, foothills, and temperate climate make it a hotspot for ant activity—and a challenge for local homeowners.
During the hot, dry months, ants enter homes searching for water. When rain hits, they head indoors to escape soggy conditions.
Argentine ants are especially common here. These pests form massive supercolonies that stretch across neighborhoods, making DIY control nearly impossible.
Carpenter ants thrive in older wood structures and tree-rich areas, where they can silently cause structural damage.
Southern fire ants also live throughout the region, nesting in soil and delivering painful stings when disturbed—posing risks to families and pets in outdoor spaces.
Yes. Our treatments are eco-friendly and specially designed to be safe for your children, your pets, and the environment, while still being deadly to ants.
They might try—but we won’t let them stay. Our year-round ant protection program includes monthly treatments and no-cost return visits if ants come back between appointments.
