Signs of ants in a Morehead City home

Ant trails across countertops, along carpet edges or on windowsills
Ants in the kitchen, even in the dishwasher
Ants in pet bowls
Mounds or piles of loose soil in the yard or along the foundation
A faint rustle inside a wall at night, like crumpled cellophane, which points to carpenter ants

Wiping up the ants you can see won’t reach the queen. One colony can live for years, so the nest is what needs treating.

How we treat ants in Morehead City

Every job starts with a free inspection. Different ants need different treatments, so we identify the species before we treat.

Bait on the trails

For odorous house, thief and pharaoh ants, bait goes on the trails and workers carry it back to the colony. Pharaoh ants respond only to bait.

Mound treatment

For fire ants and other ants that nest in the ground, we follow the trail to the mound and treat the mound and the trail. Raised ridges and dirt mounds with no ants in them are usually moles, which is a different job: see mole control.

Wall voids

When ants nest inside walls, we treat the void with a dust or spray. Some jobs need drilling to reach the colony.

General pest control plan

Most ants are covered: an inside, outside and underneath service, then quarterly maintenance. Fire, carpenter and pharaoh ants get their own tailored program.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was dreading the "wait at home and we'll be there eventually." The exact opposite happened. On time. On point. A polite knock on the door opened to a huge smile and extremely efficient work. Miller is the best in the business. Will recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Holly nailed it—Ben from the Greenville team provides top-tier customer service! He was so insightful and thorough during his visit. Not only did he resolve my main issue right away, but his attention to detail meant he caught and fixed another underlying problem on the spot. Clegg’s has always been prompt and reliable, but team members like Ben make them stand out. Extremely grateful for his help!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our house is in the woods and insects and mice are part of the cost of living there. Our Clegg’s technician is Auston, and he is incredibly helpful and thorough during routine treatments every three months. On the rare occasion we need to call between those regular visits, he always goes above and beyond to treat the source of the problem. I highly recommend Clegg’s.

Ant control questions from Morehead City

Is ant control part of general pest control?

For most ants, yes. Our General Pest Control program covers ants except pharaoh, fire and carpenter ants, which get a program tailored to them. New customers get $39 off the initial general pest control service with a maintenance plan.

How do you get rid of fire ants in a Morehead City yard?

We follow the trail back to the mound, then treat the mound and the trail. NC State Extension’s fire ant guide shows what a fire ant mound looks like.

Why do ants keep coming back to my kitchen?

What they want changes through the year. In spring they look for protein and grease, and in summer they go after sweets, crumbs and spilled drinks. A colony in the walls needs treatment.

Is it carpenter ants or termites?

Carpenter ants need constant moisture and are most active at night, while termites leave mud tubes and swarmer wings. If the inspector finds termites, see our termite control options.

Do you treat ants in Beaufort, Atlantic Beach and Newport?

Yes. Our Morehead City office serves Morehead City, Beaufort, Atlantic Beach, Newport and the rest of Carteret County.
