Ant Hills Control

Mounds in lawns, driveways, and patios mark active colonies that send foragers indoors.

Ant hills are the visible surface of a colony that may extend well underground. Mounds in the lawn, between pavers, and along driveways signal active nests — and those nests are a steady source of the ants that find their way indoors.

Treating only the mound rarely works, because the queen and brood sit deep below. We use products that reach the colony at depth to eliminate it rather than relocate it.

How to identify

  • Soil mounds in lawns, cracks, and along hardscape edges
  • Fresh, fine soil indicates active excavation
  • Foraging trails radiating from the mound

Signs of an infestation

  • Multiple mounds across the yard
  • Ants entering the home along the foundation
  • Disturbed soil between pavers and sidewalk cracks

Risks & concerns

  • Continuous indoor foraging from outdoor colonies
  • Unsightly damage to lawns and hardscaping

How we treat ant hills

We treat the mounds and surrounding soil with products that penetrate to the queen, then establish an exterior barrier to stop new colonies from re-establishing near the home.
