Ant Exterminator in Merrick
Ant infestations are the most common pest problem in Nassau County — and while most species are a nuisance, carpenter ants cause real structural damage by excavating wood to build nests. Nassau County Pest Control provides licensed ant extermination for Merrick homes, treating both the infestation and the colonies that are feeding it.
Ant Species Common in Merrick
The most frequent ant species in Nassau County homes are carpenter ants (large, black, damage wood), pavement ants (small, found along foundations and in kitchens), and odorous house ants (small, trail-following kitchen pests). Fire ants are also present in outdoor areas. Proper identification determines which treatment approach will work — not all ants respond to the same products.
Our Merrick Ant Treatment Approach
- Perimeter Spray — Liquid residual insecticide applied around the foundation exterior to stop foragers from entering
- Bait Stations — Slow-acting bait that foragers carry back to the colony; eliminates the source
- Crack & Crevice Treatment — Gel or dust applied to interior entry points, pipe penetrations, and wall voids
- Carpenter Ant Wood Treatment — Foam or dust injected into suspected gallery areas for structural nesting

Ant Exterminator in Merrick — FAQ
Why do I have ants in my Merrick home?
Ants enter Merrick homes foraging for food and moisture, often through foundation cracks, window frames, utility penetrations, and gaps under doors. Carpenter ants nest in moisture-damaged wood and can be a sign of an underlying leak or rot. Spring and summer are peak ant season in Nassau County. Call (516) 517-9150 for a professional ant inspection in Merrick.
Do store-bought ant sprays work in Merrick homes?
Over-the-counter sprays kill visible foragers but don't reach the colony. They can also scatter the colony, making the problem harder to resolve. Professional ant treatment targets the queen and colony using baits and residual products that foragers carry back to the nest. This is why professional extermination is significantly more effective for persistent infestations.
