Seeing a single ant in your kitchen might not feel like an emergency, but ants don’t stay alone for long. At YYC Pest Control, we provide high‑quality ant‑control services in the Cochrane area. We help homeowners remove ant infestations and prevent them from returning, so you can relax in your home again.
Contaminating food and surfaces
Fast spread thanks to large colonies
Damage to wood structures (especially from carpenter ants)
Painful bites or skin irritation in some cases
Some species, like carpenter ants, can even weaken wooden parts of your home. Taking action early makes a big difference.
How We Handle Ant Control
We focus on treating the root of the problem, not just the visible ants.
Our trained technicians examine your home indoors and out, searching for nests, trails, and entry points.
Once we understand the problem, we apply safe, eco‑friendly treatments both inside and outside your home, tailored to the type of ant and situation.
We then identify and address what’s attracting ants—such as leftover food, moisture build‑up, and cracks or gaps in the structure.
If needed, we return to ensure the ants have truly disappeared and the colony is no longer active.
