Ants are one of the most common pest complaints in Waterloo Region homes and businesses. They get into kitchens, walls, and foundations, and once a colony is established, they don't leave on their own. At Home-Tite, I've been eliminating ant infestations across Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Stratford, and Brantford for over 16 years. Whether you're dealing with a handful of ants or a full-blown infestation, I'll identify the species, locate the source, and treat it properly the first time.

The largest and most structurally damaging ant in Ontario. Carpenter ants range from 6mm to over 13mm and are usually black. They don't eat wood, but they carve through it to build their galleries, which means they can quietly hollow out beams, door frames, and window casings over time. Left untreated, a carpenter ant infestation can cause serious structural damage to your home.

Small, dark brown ants that build their colonies in the cracks of driveways, sidewalks, and concrete foundations. They're common invaders in Kitchener and Waterloo homes during spring and summer, entering through foundation gaps and making their way into kitchens in search of food.

Tiny amber-colored ants that prefer warm, humid environments. They're commonly found in kitchens, bathrooms, and wall voids, and they're notoriously difficult to eliminate with store-bought products. Pharaoh ants split their colonies when threatened, meaning the wrong treatment method can actually make the infestation worse.

I don't apply a spray and leave. My ant extermination process is built around finding the source and cutting off the colony, not just clearing what you can see.
Every service includes a free home and property inspection. I'll identify the ant species, locate entry points, find nesting areas, and assess how the infestation is likely to spread.
Depending on the species and severity, I'll use the right combination of bait applications, targeted perimeter treatments, and interior crack and crevice work. For carpenter ants, this often includes treating wall voids where nests are hidden.
I'll show you exactly where and how ants are getting in, and what conditions around your home are attracting them. You'll leave with a clear picture of what to address so they don't come back.

Carpenter ants are much larger than pavement or pharaoh ants, typically black, and are often spotted near wood structures, window frames, or basement beams. You may also see small piles of sawdust-like material near wood. A proper inspection is the most reliable way to confirm the species and the extent of the infestation.
Over-the-counter products can kill the ants you see, but they rarely reach the nest. Many ant species, including pharaoh ants, will split their colony in response to certain pesticides, making the problem harder to treat. Professional treatment targets the source, not just the surface.
Most treatments are completed in a single visit. Depending on the species and the severity of the infestation, you may see residual ant activity for a short period after treatment as the colony is affected. I'll walk you through what to expect before I leave.
Yes. I use licensed, government-approved products appropriate for residential use. If any precautions are needed (such as vacating a space for a short period), I'll tell you exactly what to do and for how long before treatment begins.
Yes. My seasonal perimeter foundation treatments create a barrier that kills insects on contact for up to three months. This is one of the most effective ways to stop ants from entering your home before they become an infestation.

Ant infestations don't resolve on their own. The longer a colony has to establish itself, the more difficult and costly the treatment becomes. If you're seeing ants in or around your Kitchener or Waterloo home, call Home-Tite today for same-day service and a free property inspection with every treatment.
