Ant Control Waco TX
In Central Texas, ants aren’t a seasonal problem, they’re a year-round one. Fire ant mounds appear overnight after a rain. Odorous house ants invade kitchens in search of sugar and moisture. Carpenter ants tunnel through structural wood. With our clay-heavy Waco soils and hot, humid summers, ant pressure in McLennan County is some of the highest in Texas.
Ant Control
Fire ants are one of the most aggressive and painful pests in Central Texas, and they’re a genuine medical risk for young children, elderly adults, and anyone with insect sting allergies. Every Right Pest plan, including Right Shield, includes a two-method fire ant approach that delivers superior results:
We apply fire ant bait across your yard, targeting foragers across the entire half-acre area.
We directly treat active mounds with a fast-acting contact insecticide to eliminate the visible colony.
Broadcast bait eliminates colonies you can't see; mound treatment knocks down the active ones. Together, they provide fire ant control.
Odorous house ants, Argentine ants, and pavement ants, the ants invading your kitchen, are covered on every Right Pest plan. Our interior and exterior treatment addresses both entry points and trailing routes to stop indoor invasions.
Carpenter ants are covered under general ant treatment on all plans. For structural concerns involving carpenter ants, we recommend an inspection to assess the extent of any wood damage and determine whether exclusion work is needed.

FAQ
The most common ant species in McLennan County include fire ants, odorous house ants (the small dark ants in your kitchen), Argentine ants, carpenter ants, and pavement ants. Fire ants are the most medically significant and the most common outdoor complaint. Odorous house ants are the most common indoor complaint.
Right Pest uses a two-method approach: broadcast fire ant bait across the yard (targeting forager ants who carry it back to colonies throughout the property) combined with direct mound treatment for active visible mounds. This combination approach provides both immediate mound knockdown and long-term colony suppression across your yard.
Yes. Fire ant coverage (broadcast + direct mound treatment) is included on every plan, starting with Right Shield ($49/mo). Right Plus and Right Premier include it as well, along with the additional pests each of those tiers adds.
Interior ant treatments typically show results within 24-72 hours as trailing ants contact treated surfaces. Fire ant broadcast bait takes 1-2 weeks to achieve full colony suppression as foragers carry bait back to all colonies in the yard. Direct mound treatment provides faster visible results on treated mounds within 24-48 hours.
