Ant Exterminator in San Marcos TX

If ants are marching through your home or yard in San Marcos, you’re not alone.

These tiny invaders can quickly become a big problem—whether it’s fire ants in the yard or sugar ants in the kitchen.

At Paladin Pest Control, we specialize in effective, long-term ant control solutions backed by local expertise and a reputation for doing things right.

Why DIY Ant Treatments Fall Short

Many homeowners try to tackle ant infestations on their own using bait traps, sprays, or natural remedies. While some DIY methods may offer temporary relief, they often fail to address the root of the problem—the colony.

Here’s what usually goes wrong with DIY ant control:

• You only kill the ants you see. The queen and thousands more remain hidden.

• Inconsistent treatment methods. Without the right timing or technique, the ants adapt.

• Store-bought sprays repel instead of eliminate. They can cause the colony to scatter and spread.

That’s where professional ant extermination makes all the difference.

Our Signature Strategy: The Texas Two Step

We’ve developed a unique approach to ant control we call the Texas Two Step. It’s a double-punch method that works smarter—not harder.

Liquid Barrier Treatment:
First we apply a powerful but family-safe liquid insecticide to the ant mound.

Granular Bait Treatment:
Then we apply a professional-grade granular bait on the mound.

This powerful combination eliminates the source of the problem and keeps new ants from moving in.
