📞 Call Now: 215-800-0029Killing visible ants with retail sprays only removes worker ants while the colony — and queen — remains intact beneath the structure. City Best's ant service uses slow-acting bait that workers carry back to the colony, eliminating it at the source. For carpenter ants, we also inspect and treat wood framing and void spaces where colonies nest. Treatment is targeted to the specific ant species present, since carpenter ants, pavement ants, and odorous house ants require different approaches.

East Falls is a hillside neighborhood along the Schuylkill River in Northwest Philadelphia known for its concentration of stately colonial estate homes, Thomas Jefferson University campus, and distinctive stone and stucco architecture. The neighborhood's older homes — many dating from the 1880s through 1930s — have the structural characteristics of period construction: fieldstone foundations providing mouse entry, complex wood framing supporting carpenter ant colonies, and original masonry that has cycled through decades of settlement. East Falls' Schuylkill riverside position creates some rat pressure from the waterway corridor. The neighborhood's wooded hillside setting and proximity to Wissahickon Valley creates elevated carpenter ant, tick, and stink bug management needs comparable to suburban Main Line communities.
