Ant Exterminator in Port Washington
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 Port Washington homes, treating both the infestation and the colonies that are feeding it.
Ant Species Common in Port Washington
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.

Ant Exterminator in Port Washington — FAQ
Why do I have ants in my Port Washington home?
Ants enter Port Washington 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 Port Washington.
Do store-bought ant sprays work in Port Washington 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.
