Ant Control

Ant Control in Jacksonville, NC and the surrounding areas

Ants, though small, can quickly become a big problem when they invade your home. Whether they’re searching for food, water, or a place to nest, ants can infest kitchens, walls, and even your foundation.

At Modern Exterminating, we specialize in identifying and eliminating ant colonies at the source. We use safe, effective treatments tailored to your home’s needs, ensuring long-lasting protection. Our team also implements preventive measures, sealing entry points and providing advice on how to keep your home ant-free. With our expertise, we not only rid your home of ants but also protect it from future infestations, so you can enjoy peace of mind.

The Impact of Ants

Ant infestations can quickly become more than just a nuisance—they can cause real damage and health concerns. Ants contaminate food, spread bacteria, and can damage insulation or electrical components as they build nests inside walls. Carpenter ants are especially destructive, hollowing out wood and weakening structural integrity. Without professional treatment, colonies grow rapidly, making infestations difficult to control.

Effective Ant Treatments With Fast Results

Effective ant treatments target both the visible ants and the hidden colonies where they live and reproduce. At Modern Exterminating, we begin with a detailed inspection to identify the ant species and locate nesting sites. Our technicians use precise baiting, barrier applications, and environmentally responsible treatments to eliminate the entire colony—not just surface activity. We also provide preventative solutions that keep ants from returning, protecting your home year-round. If you have questions regarding ant control for your home or business, call our team at 910-996-5225.

How to Spot Ants

N

Visible Ant Trails

One of the clearest signs of an ant problem is seeing active trails—lines of ants traveling to and from food or water sources. You’ll often spot them along baseboards, countertops, or entry points like windows and doors. These trails indicate a colony is nearby.

N

Rustling Sounds or Wall Activity

When infestations grow large, you might hear faint rustling or tapping noises inside walls or floors. Ants often build nests behind drywall or under flooring, especially in moist areas. These subtle sounds can signal a developing problem that requires professional attention.

N

Small Dirt or Sand Piles

Some ant species create small mounds of dirt or sand near cracks, baseboards, or outdoor foundations. These piles are the result of ants tunneling through soil or wall voids to build their nests. If you notice these small deposits, it’s time to investigate for hidden colonies.

N

Food Contamination or Droppings

Finding ants near stored food, crumbs, or pet bowls is a strong indicator of infestation. Some ants leave behind small debris or droppings that resemble coffee grounds. Keeping surfaces clean helps, but eliminating the nest is key.

I am very pleased with the entire crew at Modern Exterminating. They come out quarterly to make sure anything that belongs outside stays outside. Robbie always reaches out to schedule a day and time that works best for me, and he consistently provides a thorough, professional service. I also rely on them for my termite coverage. Their service is outstanding.

Modern exterminating is the best. We previously used a different pest control and felt it was not as good at communicating with us on times and needs. Moderns techs are very personable and great at communicating and working with our schedule on when to come by. We had our yard sprayed for mosquitoes and we haven’t seen one since. We use to get ate up in our yard and could barely go outside before. Thank you Modern!

Cody Collins, I can not thank him enough, for being so professional knowing his job. While under my house last year, he noticed a bunch of water near air conditioning. There was major damage. If not for Cody being so thoughtful, it could have been much worse! Cody is a fine young man.

David was considerate of our home as we worked, explained the process thoroughly, and was friendly. I appreciated the small time window provided so I could plan my day. He also texted me to let me know when he was on his way and then just mins away from my home. There were a few ways to pay, which is helpful and easy. We happened to have a trip planned a day after and we came back to zero bugs (dead or alive). Great service and effective.

We just had Robby with Modern Exterminating come out to treat our yard for fire ants. He kept me updated throughout the entire process starting with coming out to give us a quote, scheduling the appointment, and then giving an ETA day of. He also took care of some wasp nests while he was here even though he certainly didn’t have to! I also called the office afterwards to set up quarterly treatments and Amy and Melinda were extremely helpful and so sweet. They knew exactly what I was needing and got it taken care of super fast. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking!
