Ant Control in Portland, OR

Ants are easy to attract and difficult to eliminate. Controlling ants yourself can seem nearly impossible. There are over 12,000 species of ant, and each colony may have multiple nests. The number of ants in a single colony, let alone several, and the intricacies of things like ant biology, behavior, and the number of species make getting rid of ants complicated.

Saela is an award-winning pest control company. When you hire Saela for your ant control in Portland, OR you don’t have to worry about things like messes, ants making your home feel dirty, or trying to manage those pests yourself anymore! Our comprehensive science-based Protection Program and expert service specialists get rid of ants for good.

Each ant situation is unique, which means a one-size-fits-all approach is insufficient. Without expert knowledge, the right products, and a customized, science-based plan of attack, you won’t be able to eradicate ants as effectively as professionals will. Saela’s service specialists identify each pest and determine the best way to treat them with the help of our entomologists.

At Saela, we understand how frustrating it is to have ants in your home and try to get rid of them yourself. For an ant elimination plan to be successful, it must ensure that pest products will get back to the nest. If a treatment fails to do this, ants can come back even stronger than before.

Let us take care of your pests, so you don’t have to. Our superior knowledge, technology, and customer service make Saela the best choice for your pest control needs. We’re here to end your search for ant pest control.

Saela’s Ant Program

Not all pest control companies are alike. Not only do we invest in high-quality products at Saela, but we also invest in our team by placing an enormous emphasis on education and training.

What does this dedication to education look like? Our team includes expert entomologists who regularly review our products and develop our service specialist’s intensive training and ongoing education about the most current pest information available. These efforts have resulted in us having some of the most expert service specialists in the industry.

Our service specialist’s expertise is how they identify and treat ant species in your home effectively. Our team’s extensive knowledge coupled with our superior products and techniques are how we deliver consistently superior results. It’s what sets us apart from other ant pest control.

Saela’s Ant Protection Program is an involved, multi-step process. Every ant situation involves many different variables, so we must account for them to eliminate pests. We tailor every service plan we perform instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Once our ant control plan has eliminated ants by getting the products back to the nest, the next thing we have to do is keep them from coming back. We do this by balancing the right techniques, products, timing and knowledge.

Our customized Protection Plan includes the comprehensive treatment of key problem areas. Areas may include:

  • Fence lines
  • Eaves
  • Decks
  • Exterior structures
  • Windows
  • Foundation barriers
  • Transition areas
  • Garages
  • Interiors

When to Call an Exterminator for Ants

Same-Day Ant Control

How Long Does Spraying for Ants Last?

With more than 12,000 species, it can be hard to know what kind of ant is in your home. In the United States, the most common ants found in homes are Argentine ants, pavement ants, carpenter ants, black house ants and fire ants. Knowing what kind of ant you are dealing with is an important step of ant control.

DIY Methods Make Problems Worse.

Ant repellents and traps are ubiquitous at your local hardware store. While these can be effective in the short term, they rarely eliminate an entire ant colony or provide lasting results. Killing just a few ants in a colony can attract more ants from nearby colonies thanks to the unique “alarm” pheromone given off when a nest is destroyed and can leave you with an even bigger ant problem than when you started.

Leave Ants to the Experts.

Figuring out how to get rid of pests can be confusing and frustrating. If you’re wondering how to get rid of ants in your home, turn to Saela. We have the expert knowledge and experience needed to eliminate them.

Prevention Is the Best Solution.

The best way to protect your home against ants is to enlist the help of an exterminator BEFORE you ever see signs of ants, not after. While we can eliminate established colonies, preventing them from taking hold in the first place produces the best outcome. Don’t wait until ants have invaded your home. Call Saela for ant control services before ants even arrive.

Have the Ants Already Arrived?

If ants make their way into your home despite your best efforts, we’ve still got you covered. We’ll get rid of the ants in your home and keep them from returning.

Scheduled With Urgency in Mind.

When you notice a swarm of ants in your home, you want them gone. Now.

Most other pest control services won’t be able to service your home until a week or two after you call them. But why should you have to wait that long?

No one wants to deal with having ants in their home for any longer than they have to.

With Saela, you won’t have to wait weeks to get rid of ants. We schedule your service appointment with urgency in mind. We offer same-day ant control. Call Saela to schedule your service today!

Do DIY or Professional Treatments Last Longer?

On average, professional ant treatment lasts about 90 days, while DIY treatments have a much shorter window of effectiveness.

When we spray for ants, it creates a protective barrier around your home. Things like weather and time can cause this barrier to deteriorate. We perform quarterly pest control services to keep the protective barrier around your home intact and you protected against pests.

Finding the Best Ant Control Specialist.

Keeping ants out of your home requires the expert knowledge, methods and high-quality, professional-grade products that will be most effective.

Saela utilizes all of these tools to eliminate pests. Saela is the ant specialist near you who will keep your home pest-free.

Interior Service

We treat inside your home during the initial service to reduce the pests you currently have. Because the protective barrier prevents pests from entering your home, interior services after your initial service isn’t required. If you would like an interior treatment, ask your service specialist.

Exterior service
Exterior service

During the exterior service, we use a pressurized sprayer to apply the product. We spray two feet up the side of the house, four feet out from the foundation. We spot treat around doors, around first story windows, eaves, the underside of accessible decks, and front porch areas. We also spot treat along the edges of cement, sidewalks, driveways, and porches as well as along the fence-line.

Window, door, and vent barriers
Window, door, and vent barriers

In addition to the foundation of your home, we apply the product around entryways of your home. These entryways include doors, first story windows (dependent on weather), around the vents, and vent covers. These barriers prevent pests from getting into your home and are included at no additional cost.

Front and back porch barrier

The Service Specialist will inspect the deck or porch areas and will remove any wasp nests or spider webs from those areas. The product will then be applied to help prevent pest activity. These barriers are included at no additional cost.

Protection plan
Protection plan

A single service won’t keep pests gone for long. We’ve created a Protection Program that gets rid of pests and keeps them away. An important component of the Protection Program is a regular application. The barrier we apply is powerful, but it diminishes over time. That is why we offer continuous services every 12 weeks and not a one-time service.

You don’t need to leave while we perform the service. Our products will stick to the insects but not to you, your kids, or your pets.

Use the most effective products with iCap Technology
Use the most effective products with iCap Technology

Unique microcapsules in iCap technology are designed to stick to the insect’s waxy cuticle as they crawl over treated surfaces to help control them on contact. Smaller microcaps release the active ingredient quickly for immediate control, while larger microcaps release the active ingredient later for residual control.

Power Spray
Power Spray

The power spray treatment prevents insects from nesting on or entering the home. Micro-encapsulated and water based, it has almost no odor and will not stain treated surfaces. The Service Specialist will spray the side of the house, out from the foundation, and spot treats as well.

Long-Term solution, not a bandage
Long-Term solution, not a bandage

Nature is persistent, and when you stop treating for pests, they will come back. We’ve developed a Protection Program that is designed to get rid of pests and keep them away for good. Over time the external barriers begin to diminish, leaving little protection against pests entering your home. Every 12 weeks, we return to provide continuous service and to renew those exterior barriers.

Customer Portal

Our customers will receive access to a personalized customer portal. Their customer portal will have details about their service agreement, service reports, as well as invoices, and many more features.

Paperless Billing

After each service, you will receive a service report and invoice to the email you provided. Billing occurs automatically only after your service is completed.

Before power spraying, we use an extension pole with a sweeper attachment to take down wasp nests in eaves on or around the home, take down spider webs in eaves or around windows and lights or noticeable webs in plants or shrubs.

Love them, every servicer who has been to my house has been wonderful. I’ve had Xavier the most and I’m super impressed with his knowledge and his ability to remember my specific home and specific problems I have. I will continue to use this service for a long time to come! Only constructive feedback I can give is they are not great with letting you know when they’ll be back, they just kinda let you know when they’re on their way and that’s hard for anyone with a full time job to manage.
