Getting rid of ants in Columbia, MO is no easy task. Ants are social insects that live in colonies, which means you must fully eliminate them to avoid another infestation down the road. Worse yet, store-bought bug sprays only kill a few ants at best and cause the rest of the colony to scatter around your home. Luckily, Preferred Pest and Lawn can help! Our team is trained to get rid of ants and prevent them from coming back.
Our Unique Approach To Ant Control & Removal Service
Ants enter your home through the smallest openings looking for water and food. Once they find a source, they will leave a pheromone trail for other ants to follow. Our team knows this and stops ants dead in their tracks. Learn more about our unique approach to ant control below:
1. ANT INSPECTION
We’ll perform a thorough inspection in and around your home. Inside, we’ll inspect all carpet edges, doors, windows, and your kitchen. Outside, we’ll check your foundational walls, plus areas of vegetation and mulch.
2. INTERIOR ANT TREATMENT
We’ll place professional ant baits in areas of activity and trails. Ants feed on this bait and take pieces back to the queen, killing the entire colony. This approach ensures the whole ant nest is eliminated.
3. EXTERIOR ANT TREATMENT
We’ll carefully apply a non-repellent insecticide around the perimeter and entry-points of your home.
4. ANT TREATMENT FOLLOW UP
After we complete your ant treatment, we will work with you to make sure the ants don’t come back. If for some reason they are still a problem after one to two weeks, we suggest customers call us back for Free as our services come with a 365 guarantee.

Ants invade homes looking for food and water. So if you leave dirty dishes in the sink, food residue on your counters, or crumbs on the floor, you’re essentially inviting meal-seeking ants into your home. This becomes a problem when those ants set up their nests in your walls, on your lawn, and around your home’s foundation.
Ant infestations are a pretty big deal. One of the biggest problems related to ants is food contamination. Ants carry bacteria on their bodies, which spreads when they crawl in your sink and across your countertops. Now, only a few ant species carry insect-borne diseases, but finding any ants in your home is an unpleasant surprise.
To get your ant problem under control, a proper inspection is your very first step. This allows us to design a unique program for your specific situation. So please give us a call at 573-823-9269 to schedule your ant inspection. Our team is thoroughly trained in eliminating ant colonies and will keep these pests where they belong: out of your business and home.

Eric was great! He explained where the mice were coming in and was very thorough to make sure that he covered each place with poison and/or traps. He also made sure to place them where my dog wouldn’t get into them. Super nice and reasonably priced service!!!!– Julia S. in Columbia, MO

I called Preferred Pest Management and Eric was able to come out the same day to help with our wasp problem. He listened to our concerns and addressed the problem areas we were having. We were using Steve’s but their service has really gone downhill. I called around to several places before choosing Preferred Pest Management. Their prices are the best around! And haven’t seen a wasp since he sprayed! Thanks Eric!– Devon M. in Columbia, MO
