Ant Extermination
in Melville.
Targeted ant control for carpenter ants, pavement ants, and pharaoh ants — bait-first treatments that take out the colony, not just the trail.
Melville is 150 km from Regina on the Yorkton route. Most residential calls land inside the same week; urgent commercial calls are routed inside 48 hours.
Spring pressure in Melville
Older railway-era homes surface rodent activity once foundations warm.
The ant extermination protocol — in Melville and across SK.
The ants you see on the counter are scouts. Killing them does almost nothing — the colony is somewhere you can't see, and it produces hundreds of replacements every week. Our protocol identifies the species (carpenter ants, pavement ants, and pharaoh ants each take very different treatments), traces the trail to harborage, and applies a slow-acting bait that scouts carry back to the colony. We pair bait with perimeter exclusion to block new entries.
What's included
- Species identification (carpenter, pavement, pharaoh)
- Trail tracing to harborage when accessible
- Species-specific gel or granular bait placement
- Direct cavity treatment of carpenter nests where reachable
- Perimeter exclusion at known entry points
- Follow-up inspection at week 3
- 60-day warranty with free re-treatment
Not included — but available
- Tree pruning or branch clearance (homeowner responsibility)
- Repair of moisture-damaged wood
- Concrete or slab repair at pavement-ant mounds
- Treatment of detached outbuildings unless quoted
Signs Melville homes see first.
Persistent ant trails along counters
Scouts laying down pheromone trails to a food source means a colony is established within 30m of the entry.
Large black ants near windows or sinks
Workers over 10mm with a single-segment waist are carpenter ants — wood-damaging and need cavity treatment.
Fine sawdust piles indoors
Carpenter ants push wood shavings (frass) out of nest galleries. Piles near baseboards or sills signal an active interior nest.
Tree branches contacting siding
Branches and shrub limbs against the building are highways. Trimming back is part of every long-term ant fix.
