The Reality of Southern California Ant Infestations: Why You Are Outnumbered
According to scientific estimates, there are approximately 10,000,000,000,000,000 ants in the world. That is not a typo. That's 10,000 trillion ants, or put another way, about 1.25 million ants for every single human currently on Earth.

Our 4-Step Ant Defense Services
We fight back against fire ants, carpenter ants and all ant invaders through the following four steps:
1. Thorough Property Inspection
Our experienced technicians thoroughly inspect your property to locate active trails, entry points, and hidden nesting sites, determining the exact scope of the infestation. We examine slab foundations, crawl spaces, and moisture zones where ants love to build nests.
2. Exterior TERMIDOR® Treatment
We treat the exterior of your property with TERMIDOR®, widely recognized as one of the most effective professional insecticides on the market today. Because ants cannot detect this treatment, they unknowingly carry it back to the colony, eliminating the nest from the inside out.
3. Perimeter, Fence, and Hardscape Protection
Ants do not just stay on the walls of your house. We extend our defense barrier to protect your entire perimeter, treating fences, walkways, and hardscapes to stop invaders long before they reach your home.
4. Specialized Interior Defense
To safely tackle the ants inside your home or office, we treat the interior using targeted GELS & PHANTOM®, which is an advanced, non-repellent insecticide formulated for safe and highly effective indoor use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which areas does Black Knight serve for ant control?
We provide fast, reliable ant control in Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, and nearby Inland Empire communities, including the greater Riverside area.
What is the most effective professional ant control treatment?
The most effective professional treatment for ants is a non-repellent liquid insecticide, such as Termidor® for exterior use and Phantom® for interior use, combined with specialized insecticidal baits. Because ants cannot detect non-repellents, they pass through the treatment and carry it back to the queen, destroying the entire subterranean colony from the inside out rather than providing only surface-level relief.
Why do DIY ant control products fail?
DIY ant sprays usually contain repellent chemicals. While they kill the worker ants on contact, they often trigger a survival mechanism known as budding. This causes the main colony to divide and establish multiple new satellite colonies throughout your walls and foundation, intensifying the infestation.
How do I prevent future ant infestations in my home?
Food residue, moisture, and accessible entry points are the main drivers of a home infestation. To keep ants from returning, you should first eliminate food sources by storing food in airtight containers and cleaning up kitchen crumbs immediately. Next, control moisture by repairing leaking pipes, clearing clogged gutters, and reducing moisture in crawl spaces. You will also want to seal entry points using caulk around window frames, external doors, and slab foundation cracks. Finally, maintain your yard by keeping tree branches trimmed away from the roofline and clearing any dead, wood-destroying material.
Does Black Knight provide emergency same-day services?
Yes. Black Knight Pest Control offers responsive, local ant control experts to address severe infestations rapidly. Call us directly at 951-694-8100 to check immediate technician availability.
How does your 4-Step Ant Defense Service work?
We start with a thorough inspection to find trails, entry points, and nesting sites. We then apply Termidor® to the exterior so ants carry it back to the colony. Next, we protect the perimeter, fences, and hardscapes to stop new invaders. Finally, we treat indoors with targeted gels and Phantom®, which is a non-repellent formulated for safe, highly effective indoor use.
