Professional Ant Treatment & Long-Term Prevention

Ant infestations are one of the most common pest issues throughout Southern California.

In Thousand Oaks, Agoura Hills, Simi Valley, Camarillo, Moorpark, and Oxnard, ant activity can remain constant due to the region’s mild climate.

Zen-Cal Termite & Wood Repair delivers precise ant control designed to eliminate colonies and prevent recurrence.

 

Argentine Ants

Argentine ants are highly invasive and form massive interconnected colonies that can span entire neighborhoods.

They are typically attracted to:

  • Moisture around foundations
  • Kitchens and food storage areas
  • Bathrooms and plumbing fixtures
  • Cracks and structural gaps

Because colonies are extensive, surface sprays rarely solve the problem. Effective control requires targeting the colony itself.

Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants do not eat wood like termites, but they tunnel through it to build nests.

Common risk areas include:

  • Damp framing members
  • Roof or plumbing leak areas
  • Decks and fascia boards
  • Window and door frames

If left untreated, their excavation can weaken structural components over time.

Locating and eliminating the nest is essential for proper control.
