Say Goodbye to Ant Infestations — Trusted Ant Exterminators in Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Eagle & Surrounding Areas

Ants Invading Your Home or Business? We’ve Got You Covered.

Ants are one of the most common — and persistent — pests in Boise and the greater Treasure Valley. Whether it’s a trail of sugar ants in your kitchen or large carpenter ants damaging your walls, they can quickly become a year-round problem.

At Tinker Pest Control, we provide safe, effective, and long-lasting ant extermination services in Boise, ID and all surrounding communities. Our team identifies the source of the infestation and gets rid of it for good.

Common Types of Ants in the Boise Area

Not all ants are the same — and each species requires a unique treatment plan. We handle all common Boise-area ants, including:

  • Odorous House Ants – Small, dark ants that emit a rotten coconut smell when crushed. Common in kitchens and bathrooms.

  • Pavement Ants – Often found along sidewalks, driveways, and foundations; they can invade basements and walls.

  • Carpenter Ants – Large black ants that nest in wood and can cause structural damage to homes and buildings.

  • Sugar Ants – Tiny ants attracted to sweets and food crumbs in kitchens and pantries.

  • Thatching Ants – Outdoor ants that can create large nests in lawns and gardens.

We know how to identify each type and apply the right treatment based on their behavior and nesting patterns.

Why Ants Are a Bigger Problem Than You Think

Ants are small — but their presence can mean big trouble. If left untreated:

  • They can contaminate food and food prep areas

  • Carpenter ants may damage wood and insulation

  • Some species bite or sting

  • Colonies can grow into the thousands and spread quickly

  • DIY sprays and baits often miss the nest, allowing the colony to rebound

Professional help ensures the entire colony — not just the ants you see — is eliminated.

DIY Ant Control Tips

Trying to manage ants on your own? Here are some quick prevention strategies:

  • Keep counters, floors, and food prep areas clean

  • Store food in sealed containers

  • Take out the trash regularly and rinse recyclables

  • Seal cracks and entry points around your home

  • Use vinegar or lemon juice to disrupt scent trails

These tips can reduce ant activity, but DIY methods rarely eliminate the queen or the hidden nest, which means ants often return — again and again.
