About This Service

Ants are one of the most common pest problems in the Phoenix Metro area. Arizona is home to dozens of ant species, including fire ants, carpenter ants, odorous house ants, pavement ants, and harvester ants. Some species, like fire ants, deliver painful stings, while carpenter ants can cause structural damage by nesting in wood. At Freedom Pest Elimination, we identify the specific ant species infesting your property and apply targeted treatments to eliminate the colony — not just the workers you see on the surface.

Signs of Infestation

• Ant trails leading to food sources in kitchens, pantries, or pet food areas
• Fire ant mounds in the yard or near the foundation
• Sawdust-like frass near wood structures (sign of carpenter ants)
• Ants appearing after rain events as they seek higher ground
• Winged ants (swarmers) inside the home, indicating a nearby colony
