How Ants Damage Your Saratoga Property
Ants may be tiny, but they can create serious problems once they invade homes and businesses in Saratoga.
Here’s how they’re causing damage throughout the area:
Inside Your Home
- Compromising wood structures: Carpenter ants burrow into wood, which can slowly undermine your home’s stability.
- Triggering electrical issues: Some ants are drawn to electronics, where they can cause shorts and malfunctions.
- Spoiling food supplies: Ants contaminate food, spreading bacteria and making it unsafe to eat.
- Causing painful stings: Fire ants deliver painful stings that may trigger allergic reactions in both people and pets.
At Your Business
- Risking failed inspections: Ant activity can lead to health code violations, especially for Saratoga restaurants and food service businesses. Under the California Retail Food Code, facilities must be free from pests—including ants.
- Contaminating products: Ants can transmit harmful bacteria like E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella, and they may chew through packaging, leading to product loss and financial setbacks.
- Turning away customers: Seeing ants in your storefront, dining area, or office can leave a negative impression and hurt your business reputation.
- Disrupting equipment: Ants that enter electrical systems can cause serious malfunctions and costly downtime.
How We Help Saratoga Residents
Eliminating Existing Ant Infestations
Most Saratoga properties have multiple ant colonies—each with thousands of ants looking for ways inside.
While we can’t remove every ant in the city, we can eliminate active colonies on your property using non-spray solutions and set up protective barriers to keep them from coming back.
Preventing Future Infestations
We’ll track down the specific entry points ants are using and seal them off. Our prevention strategies are tailored to the exact species we find around your home or commercial space.
Ongoing, Year-Round Protection
Ant control isn’t a one-time fix—it takes consistent, strategic effort throughout the year.
Unlike pest control companies that rely on general spraying, Smith’s uses a smarter, no-spray approach based on ant behavior and biology.
We use precision-targeted baits that ants bring back to the colony, eliminating the entire nest from the inside.
Our technicians are highly trained in how ants operate, so they know exactly what bait to use and where to place it for the best results.
This method isn’t just more effective—it’s also safer for your family, pets, and the environment by cutting down on unnecessary pesticide use.
We’ll schedule routine follow-ups, and if ants return between visits, we’ll handle it at no extra charge.
With one simple monthly plan, you’re protected—and if we spot other pests like spiders or roaches while we’re on-site, we’ll take care of those too.

FAQs
Saratoga’s tree-lined streets, creekside properties, and mild weather make it a perfect habitat for ants—and a tough challenge for homeowners.
When summer heat dries up outside moisture, ants head indoors in search of water. During rainy months, they retreat inside to avoid flooded or saturated soil.
Argentine ants are especially widespread here. They form massive supercolonies across multiple properties, making them hard to control without professional help.
Carpenter ants are also common in Saratoga, drawn to older trees and wooden structures where they can slowly weaken building integrity.
Southern fire ants, found throughout the area, nest in soil and will aggressively sting if disturbed—posing risks to pets, children, and anyone enjoying the yard.
Yes. We use eco-friendly, low-impact treatments that effectively eliminate ants while keeping your kids, pets, and the environment safe.
Ants are persistent, but so are we. Our year-round ant control plan includes regular monthly visits to keep them away. If ants reappear between treatments, we’ll come back at no extra charge.
