Local Context

Why State College Homes Need Ant Control

Ants are particularly bad in State College because our 1155-foot elevation and high humidity keep soil moist year-round, encouraging colonies to nest near foundations. The suburban density of 41,000 residents means homes are close together, allowing ants to spread quickly from property to property. Our winter lows of 21ยฐF don't stop them eitherโ€”ants simply move indoors, making State College a hotspot for year-round invasions.

โœ“One thing most people don't know: State College's many oak and maple trees drop acorns and seeds that attract carpenter ants, which then tunnel into decks and siding. I've seen this happen on dozens of homes near Penn State's arboretum, where the leaf litter creates ideal nesting sites. That's why we always inspect your yard's tree line during our ant treatments.
