Ant control for San Bernardino County, ground zero for one of California's only confirmed red imported fire ant infestations.
Call (844) 924-1337San Bernardino County has a direct role in the state's ant control history. It's one of the three counties, along with Los Angeles and Riverside, that the red imported fire ant reached after its 1998 discovery covering more than 50 square miles of Orange County. That discovery triggered a statewide eradication effort lasting from 1999 to 2003, and although the worst of it has passed, targeted treatment still continues today in scattered spots such as the Coachella Valley. Argentine ants, meanwhile, remain the far more common sight locally, trailing along sidewalks and building foundations in numbers that made the fast food chains and roadside diners along old Route 66 no strangers to routine ant treatment.
The difference between the two matters more than most homeowners realize. A fire ant mound delivers a painful sting and puts children and pets at real risk, while an Argentine ant trail is mostly just an annoyance, so the right response depends entirely on which ant actually showed up. Because both species overlap here in San Bernardino, getting that identification right before treatment begins is the first real step, not an afterthought.

Keeping food sealed, wiping up crumbs and spills, and taking out trash regularly helps reduce what draws ants indoors. If ants keep returning despite those steps, discuss an inspection for entry points and nesting areas before choosing targeted treatment.
Outdoor ant control usually focuses on treating nests and trails directly rather than the whole yard, since a blanket treatment is less effective and less necessary. Outdoor ant control starts with locating the colony and assessing which nesting areas need attention.
Ant control pricing depends on your location, the extent of the activity, and whether one-time or recurring treatment is appropriate. Call PestGuardians to discuss the work needed in San Bernardino and request pricing for your situation.
Treatment can reduce and often eliminate visible ant activity, especially when it targets the colony and not just the ants you can see. Results depend on correctly locating the nest and entry points, which is part of why a proper inspection matters. Ask PestGuardians what to expect for your specific situation.
