Ants are one of the most common household pests in Oregon, often invading homes in search of food, water, and shelter. From kitchens and bathrooms to crawl spaces and exterior foundations, ant activity can quickly spread throughout a property, especially during warmer and wetter parts of the year.
Kanga Pest Control provides professional ant control services for homeowners in Portland, Salem, Canby, and surrounding Oregon communities. Our treatments are designed to target active ant colonies, reduce recurring infestations, and help keep your home more comfortable year-round.
The Kanga Advantage
Different ant species behave differently, and Oregon homeowners commonly deal with moisture ants, odorous house ants, carpenter ants, and pavement ants. Our team identifies the source of activity and applies treatments based on the type of infestation affecting your property.
Ant infestations rarely begin in just one spot. We inspect both indoor and outdoor conditions to locate nesting areas, entry points, and food sources contributing to the problem.
We prioritize clear communication, straightforward recommendations, and practical service plans that fit the needs of families, pets, and everyday household routines.
If ant activity continues after treatment, our team is available to help address problem areas and adjust service when needed.

Ants typically enter homes searching for food, water, or shelter. Crumbs, moisture, pet food, sugary substances, and easy access points around doors or foundations can all attract ants indoors.
Long-term ant control usually requires identifying and treating the colony source rather than only killing visible ants. Professional treatments combined with sanitation and exclusion measures can help reduce recurring infestations.
Oregon homeowners commonly encounter odorous house ants, carpenter ants, pavement ants, and moisture ants. Carpenter ants are especially concerning because they can damage damp or decaying wood.
Carpenter ants do not eat wood like termites, but they tunnel through it to create nests. Over time, this can contribute to structural damage, especially in moisture-damaged areas.
