Ants keep returning to your Montréal kitchen? Gardepest treats household ant problems. The trail, the ants’ appearance and the places where they return help establish what needs attention.

What to look for
Start with the signs.
A particular entrance
Record the window, doorway or wall edge where you see activity most often.
Larger ants or wood debris
These observations call for a closer look at carpenter ants, rather than assuming an ordinary kitchen-ant problem.
Not every ant problem is the same.
Ant species differ, so a colour or a kitchen location is not enough to settle the identification. Describe the approximate size, the number of affected rooms and whether activity is also visible outside. A close photograph, if you already have one, may help the discussion.
This page covers general household ant enquiries. If your concern involves wood, large ants or activity around damaged window frames, use the carpenter-ant service page for the more relevant questions.
Explain what has already been tried.
A trail that returns after a shop-bought treatment raises different questions from a first sighting. Tell Gardepest which products were used, where and when, without adding more treatments simply to prepare for an assessment.
For a Montréal apartment or house, a quote should make clear whether the request concerns indoor activity, an outdoor location or both. Confirm the proposed approach, preparation and arrangements for reviewing persistent activity before agreeing to the work.
Questions
A few things worth knowing.
Are all black ants carpenter ants?
No. Colour alone is not a reliable identification. Size, appearance, location and any associated wood debris provide more useful context.
Why do ants keep coming back to the kitchen?
A visible trail may lead to a food source without revealing the colony’s location. Describe the recurring route and any previous treatment so the underlying situation can be assessed.
Do ants outdoors always need treatment?
No. An outdoor sighting does not automatically require extermination. Explain whether ants are entering the home or causing a specific problem before deciding on an intervention.
