"I would definitely recommend Ryan and the Knockout Pest Control Team. We had ant issues at our old Townhouse complex, and Ryan’s speedy, and well-priced service cleared up the issue.
When we moved into a single family home, I contacted Ryan again for a similar treatment. He was professional and communicative through the whole process. He took his time to inspect the exterior of the home and pointed out a few other preventative measures we could take to avoid future pest issues.
I would absolutely use this business again."

Common ants found in Burnaby include carpenter ants, pavement ants, odorous house ants, and pharaoh ants. Each species behaves differently, which is why professional identification and treatment are important for effective control.
Ants are attracted to food, moisture, and shelter. Even small crumbs, spills, or moisture around sinks can attract them. If the colony itself is not eliminated, ants will continue to return even after temporary DIY treatments.
Professional ant control begins with a detailed inspection to locate entry points and nesting areas. Technicians then apply targeted treatments and baits designed to eliminate the entire colony and prevent ants from returning.
Yes. Professional pest control companies use carefully selected products and application methods designed to be safe when used properly. Technicians focus on targeted treatments rather than widespread spraying to minimize exposure.
Common signs include visible trails of ants, small piles of dirt near entry points, ants around food or sinks, and increased activity in kitchens or bathrooms. Carpenter ants may also leave small wood shavings near nesting areas.
Some species, such as carpenter ants, can damage wood structures by tunneling through them to create nests. While they do not eat wood like termites, they can weaken wooden structures over time if left untreated.
You may see a reduction in ant activity within a few days, but complete colony elimination can take longer depending on the size and location of the nest. Follow-up treatments may be recommended for long-term control.
DIY sprays and store-bought products may temporarily kill visible ants, but they rarely eliminate the entire colony. Professional treatments are designed to reach hidden nests and destroy the source of the infestation.
Simple prevention steps include sealing cracks and entry points, storing food in sealed containers, cleaning crumbs or spills quickly, fixing moisture issues, and keeping outdoor garbage areas clean.
You should contact a professional if ants continue to return, if you see large numbers of ants indoors, or if you suspect carpenter ants. Early treatment helps prevent larger infestations and potential structural damage.
