Dealing with pesky ants? One day, nothing; the next day, ants are everywhere. They’re the most common pest issue – and they’re both annoying and potentially destructive. The bad news is you’re typically only seeing a few hundred out of 10,000+ ants in the colony. DIY options almost always eliminate just a few (not effective) or cause the colony to split (definitely not effective)!

Our service is different because we take care of the entire colony – and keep all the ants outside where they belong! It’s pet safe, kid safe, and guaranteed to keep your home pest-free for a full year.

How the service works. We do the job right. The most extensive ant service on the market. Developed and perfected over thousands of ant jobs throughout Oregon

get started

Inside, outside – we’ll do a full inspection and figure out exactly what’s going on where. We’re especially focused on finding the colony’s location.

We’re talking baits, dusts, gels, liquids – indoors and outdoors. A lot of times, we’ll do an ant barrier treatment around the entire house. Right products in the right places.

Eliminating the few you’re seeing does no good. We use products that work through the entire colony before the problem gets 10x worse as more eggs hatch.

Left untouched, 3 out of 4 homes will have another pest infestation within 6 months. Not with us.

The most complete ant service around. Guaranteed to work. Guaranteed to last. It’s that good.

When is it time to hire a pro? A few ants? Usually not a big deal. An invasion of ants in your kitchen? You should call a pro. Seeing “sawdust” around ants? Get a pro out immediately. Most ants will infest food and be pests; some species will actually destroy your home in a similar way to termites. A pro will be able to identify the ant species, locate the colony, and apply treatment that will eliminate the problem. DIY options typically make the problem worse. With over a decade of experience, you can trust the Bug Zapper experts to clear ants from your home quickly and safely. Then, thanks to our four-season protection service, we’ll keep them from coming right back. Call to say goodbye to those ants for good.

There’s a reason ants are such a nuisance and can take over your home seamingly overnight.

Ants transfer food orally from one to the next. It’s kinda gross…called trophallaxis. But they can actually detect when one of the colony is compromised and they’ll kick them out. That’s why most baits and DIY options don’t work.
Ants can fit through a 1/16” gap into your house.
They can lift up to 50 times their body weight. That’s how they run off with your cereal!
Home base for ants can be almost anywhere. They can travel up to 100 yards to forage for food and water.
An ant colony has around 20,000 ants in it. You’re only seeing a few hundred at a time typically. Don’t think about that too much!
For every human, there are 1,000,000 ants in nature.

What our customers say. Thousands of services, thousands of 5 stars

“They came out to our house today to take care of these tiny ants that were all over our house and spiders that would creep around here and there. He provided by far the most thorough pest control service we’ve ever had. He explained everything well and was super kind and professional. Also after 30 min of drying time their products are safe for kids and pets. I would totally recommend Bug Zapper Pest Control :-)”

Amanda

“Amazing people, took care of my sugar ant problem I’ve been fighting for over 20 years! I recommend them every chance I get!”

Kelly

“I just want to say how happy I am with the service I received. From the moment I called almost in tears from being at war with these ants for days and nothing working, everyone I spoke with was phenomenal. Richie came out and was so professional, knowledgeable and courteous. I wish more companies offered the kind of service these folks have. Thank you so much!”

Diana

“I just have to say, that Bug Zappers goes above and beyond!!! The peace of mind we have had getting rid of the swarms of ants we had and it has been over a year has been priceless. They were so bad they were in my coffee maker and found a way into my fridge. Today when Paul showed up he did his usual dusting off all the eaves and outside, but he also swept the back porch. They are well worth it!!! Peace of mind.)”

Sandra

“The man came out and did a really good job he actually found the ant nest outside! He didn’t just show up and spray, he showed up and actually took his time to find the problem so that he can take care of the issue. Thanks y’all!”

Tasha

“Had a problem with sugar ants. After one treatment they’re gone!!”

Janice

“We’ve had Bug Zapper for a year now and it’s really helped keep the ants at bay. I was skeptical at first but am so glad we decided to go with them for our pest issues. ? Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Always make sure to take their shoes off before they come inside. Would recommend.”

Jenny

“We have used them for a couple years now and have been super happy with our service. We appreciate that they give us a report so we know what is going on outside of our home. It’s also been easy to schedule in-between appointments when things have come up (those dang sugar ants) and they’ve always been so friendly. We have recommended Bug Zapper to friends and family. :)”

Sara

“I had ants everywhere in my house and I tried several different types of bait to get rid of them but nothing worked. I called Bug Zapper and the ants were gone in one interior and exterior treatment. Pet friendly too and on time. Great value for these results.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Ants are everywhere outside; there’s a million ants for every person in the world . As they forage for food and water they’re drawn to your food and your water. Once they find it, they bring thousands of friends. It’s important to realize ants can travel the length of a football field so their home base could be quite a distance from your home. It’s very likely not in or under your home. But when an ant can fit through a 1/16” gap it’s basically impossible to keep them from getting inside a house.

With our service, we work hard to locate the actual colony, along with using products that work through that colony no matter where it’s located.

Yes, absolutely. We love our pets as well.

Our service is designed to protect your pets. From the equipment we use to the technicians doing the work – your pet safety is top priority. What that looks like is locked boxes for equipment, the right products used, and a game plan with pets in mind. Often it simply means slowing down and thinking before treating.

We promise to take care of pests, without putting you or your pets at risk.

We don’t just show up and spray—we take ant problems seriously. Our process starts with a thorough inspection to identify the source of the infestation. Then we apply a strategic combination of professional-grade granular, dust, gel, and liquid treatments to target the colony effectively.

But we don’t stop there.

We provide follow-up visits to ensure the entire colony is eliminated, which can take time as the products work through the system. And once the ants are gone, we implement preventative measures to help keep them from coming back.

This isn’t your average ant control—it’s a higher level of service, and it’s truly one-of-a-kind.

Unfortunately the problem with most DIY options is they just aren’t consistently effective. DIY baits and sprays usually only take care of a few ants, or cause the colony to multiply. Homeowners often don’t have the experience to get the results they want.

We use different products and equipment from the average homeowner. Plus, we have years of training and hand-on experience doing ant jobs all over Oregon. A quick internet search just can’t replace that. We know what to look for, where to look, how to treat, and how to follow up. The result: we can get rid of your pest problem a lot faster and prevent a repeat problem.

Ants are certainly a nuisance, but they’re more of a problem than just that. Some ants contaminate food. Some nest in the house deteriorating structures or causing electrical wiring problems. Some even chew and weaken a home’s framing causing expensive/dangerous damage. Bottom line – no matter the species of ants, you don’t want ants inside your home.
