Types of Ants We Remove in Lawrence Heights

Carpenter Ants in Lawrence Heights

Carpenter Ants

Camponotus pennsylvanicus

The largest ants in Ontario, black and up to 13 mm long. They hollow out damp wood to nest, leaving sawdust-like frass. A carpenter ant colony inside a wall can cause structural damage over time.

Pavement Ants in Lawrence Heights

Pavement Ants

Tetramorium immigrans

Small dark-brown ants that nest under driveways, patios and foundation slabs. They push up little mounds of sand between pavers and march indoors along baseboards looking for food.

Pharaoh Ants in Lawrence Heights

Pharaoh Ants

Monomorium pharaonis

Tiny yellow ants that nest inside heated buildings: apartments, condos, hospitals and restaurants. Spraying makes colonies split and spread, so they need a professional baiting program.

Field Ants in Lawrence Heights

Field Ants

Formica species

Red-and-black or brown ants that build mounds in lawns and gardens. They forage into kitchens and sunrooms in spring and can bite when disturbed.

We also treat odorous house ants, acrobat ants and thief ants. Not sure which ant you have? Our technician identifies it during the free inspection.

Signs You Need Ant Control in Lawrence Heights

  • Trails of ants along baseboards, counters or windows
  • Ants in the kitchen, pantry or pet food bowls
  • Small piles of sawdust or frass near wood trim
  • Winged ants (swarmers) indoors in spring
  • Sand mounds between patio stones and driveway cracks
  • Rustling sounds inside walls or ceilings
  • Ants returning after store-bought sprays
  • Large black ants indoors in late winter, a sign of an indoor nest

The ants you see are a small fraction of the colony. Sprays kill the foragers and can make colonies split into several new ones, especially with pharaoh ants. Lasting ant control means finding the nest and using baits the workers carry back to the queen.

Ant Problems in Lawrence Heights

Lawrence Heights is in the middle of a major revitalization, with older townhomes and low-rise buildings standing next to new construction near Lawrence Avenue and Allen Road. Construction disturbs soil and pushes pavement and field ants into nearby homes, while older units with aging plumbing and shared walls let pharaoh ants spread from one home to the next. Green spaces like Flemington Park and the hydro corridor add carpenter ant pressure in spring.

Our Ant Control Process

  1. Free ant inspection

    We identify the species, follow the trails back to the nest and check for moisture-damaged wood that attracts carpenter ants.

  2. Targeted colony baiting

    We place professional gel and granular baits the workers carry to the queen, wiping out the colony at the source.

  3. Nest and void treatment

    For carpenter ants we treat the nest gallery directly through wall voids and damaged wood with non-repellent products.

  4. Exterior perimeter barrier

    We treat the foundation, entry points, mulch beds and patio cracks so new colonies cannot move in.

  5. Follow-up and prevention

    We check back to confirm the colony is gone and show you the moisture and food sources to fix.

Ant Control FAQ

Straight answers from our licensed technicians. Still have a question? Call (647) 471-1332, we are open 24 hours.

Why do I have big black ants in my Lawrence Heights home?

Large black ants indoors are usually carpenter ants. Seeing them in late winter or early spring often means the colony is nesting inside a wall, deck or window frame, not outside. Book an inspection before they damage the wood.

How long does it take to get rid of ants?

Most colonies collapse within 3 to 10 days after baiting, as workers share the bait with the queen. You may see more ants for a day or two while they feed. That is normal and means the bait is working.

Should I spray the ants I see before you arrive?

Please do not. Sprays kill the foragers that would carry bait to the queen and can make some species split into new colonies. Just wipe the trail with soapy water and call us.

Are your ant treatments safe for kids and pets?

Yes. We use enclosed bait stations and Health Canada registered products placed in cracks, voids and outdoors, away from kids and pets. We explain exactly what was applied and where.

Do carpenter ants damage houses?

Yes. Carpenter ants do not eat wood but they excavate it to nest, weakening window frames, sill plates, decks and roof edges over time. Early treatment is much cheaper than repairing the wood.

Will the ants come back next year?

Ant pressure returns every spring. Our treatment eliminates the current colony and leaves a perimeter barrier. A seasonal plan keeps new colonies from moving in each year.

Can you treat my whole townhouse block in Lawrence Heights?

Yes. We work with residents and housing providers to treat connected units together so ants do not just move next door.

How fast can you get to Lawrence Heights?

Our office is on Dufferin Street nearby, so most visits happen the same day.

I had an amazing experience with Pest Control Pro when I needed help with a bed bug problem in my home in Toronto. Their team was incredibly responsive—they provided a free inspection the next day and clearly explained the treatment options. I ended up getting the Aprehend treatment, and within two weeks, there were no more signs of bed bugs! A few months later, I noticed a cockroach issue starting in the kitchen, and again, Pest Control Pro came through with a quick and effective cockroach treatment. Their professional pest control service is honestly one of the best I’ve used: fast, thorough, respectful of my space, and very affordable compared to other companies. Highly recommend Pest Control Pro if you’re looking for efficient pest control done right. Definitely my go-to for any pest issues from now on!
